Advice on use
In some situations (air conditioning off, air recirculation activated, ventilation speed at zero or low etc.), you may notice that condensation starts to form on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the "Clear View" function to remove it, then use the air conditioning in automatic mode to stop it forming again.
tip
Vehicles equipped with ECO mode
Once activated, ECO mode may reduce the performance of the automatic air conditioning .
warning
Do not add anything to the vehicle’s ventilation circuit (for example, to remove bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of fire.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning with no automatic mode, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and helping to preserve the environment
Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed. If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the maintenance document for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.
