Activating the system

When the vehicle is started, the system returns to the last programme used.

The system is also functional when parked.

Press the control 10 to activate the system or set the control 13 to the desired ventilation speed.

Stopping the system

Press the control 13 until you reach the "OFF" position

Switching the air conditioning on or off

The control 3 authorises activation (warning light on) or deactivation (warning light off) of the air conditioning.

The system cannot be switched on if the ventilation power is zero.

The air conditioning system is used for:

  • lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
  • eliminating condensation more quickly.

Recommendation: to optimise vehicle range, deactivate the air conditioning when the outside temperature is comfortable.

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system guarantees comfort in the passenger compartment and good visibility (except in the event of extreme conditions), while optimising fuel consumption.

The system controls the ventilation speed, air distribution, air recirculation, and starting and stopping the air conditioning and air temperature.

This mode consists of a choice of three programs:

AUTO: optimises the selected comfort level according to exterior conditions. Press the button 10.

SOFT: enables the desired temperature level to be obtained more smoothly and silently. Press button 10 then press downwards again to activate SOFT mode.

FAST: increases the air flow in the passenger compartment. This mode is recommended in particular to optimise comfort in the rear seats. Press button 10 then press upwards again to activate FAST mode.

tip

Any action on a button other than the AUTO button triggers deactivation of automatic mode.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press 7 one or more times to select the air distribution. The air distribution selected 4 is displayed on the multimedia screen. The positions are in the following order:

2_ALL_532_1_pictogramme.png

All the air is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.

2_ALL_402_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.

2_ALL_109_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is mainly directed to the dashboard air vents.

2_ALL_111_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and towards the footwells.

2_ALL_108_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is directed mainly towards the footwells.

Adjusting the air temperature

Use controls 6 and 14 to adjust the left-hand and right-hand side independently .

Adjusting the ventilation fan speed

In automatic mode, the system uses the most suitable amount of air to reach and maintain the desired comfort level.

You will still be able to adjust the ventilation speed by pressing the control 13 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.

"Clear View" function

Press the button 12 and the built-in warning light comes on.

This function quickly de-mists the windscreen, rear screen, front side windows. It automatically activates the air conditioning and rear screen de-icing functions.

To exit this function, press again on button 10 or button 12.

tip

Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press the button 11 and the built-in warning light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting or de-icing of the rear screen.

To exit this function, press button 11 again. Demisting automatically stops.

" A / C   MAX " function

Press the button 8 to activate the function. Deactivate ECO mode to make the most of it.

The "A/C MAX" function enables the user to feel the maximum power of their air conditioning system without any constraint or compromise related to the acoustics and the feeling of the air being too cold on the hands and face.

This function involves automatic modifications:

  • temperature programmed to fully cold;
  • distribution of air to the occupants;
  • air flow at its maximum power;
  • activation of the air conditioning;
  • air recirculation.

Air recirculation (isolation of the passenger compartment)

tip

Demisting/de-icing will still take priority over the air recirculation.

Manual use

Press button 9 and the built-in warning light comes on.

Prolonged use of this position may lead to odours, caused by non-renewal of air, and the formation of condensation on the windows.

We therefore advise you to return to automatic mode as soon as air recirculation is no longer needed, by pressing button 9.

To exit this function, press the button 9 again.

tip

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing button 9 again.
