Switching on
The air conditioning can be switched on (indicator light on) or off (indicator light off) using button 4.
tip
Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.
Adjusting the ventilation fan speed
Turn control 3 to one of the eight positions to adjust the power.
Position OFF
In this position:
- the manual heating and/or air conditioning stops automatically;
- the air ventilation speed in the passenger compartment is zero;
- – there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be used.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn the control 1 to one of the eight positions to set the temperature. The further towards the red the slide is, the higher the temperature will be. The further towards the blue the slide is, the lower the temperature will be.
tip
Use of the
position on the control 5 automatically leads to the air flowing out in order to prevent the risk of condensation on the windscreen.
Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment
Turn control 5 to choose the distribution option.
-
All the air is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.
-
The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.
-
The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and towards the footwells.
-
The air flow is mainly directed to the dashboard air vents.
-
The air flow is directed mainly towards the footwells.
Rear screen de-icing and demisting
Press button 7 and the built-in warning light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting/de-icing of the rear screen and the rear view mirrors (on equipped vehicles).
To exit this function, press button 7 again. Demisting automatically stops.
tip
Recommendations
In the event of freezing, manually de-ice the windscreen using a scraper rather than the de-icing/demisting function in order to reduce your energy consumption.
"Clear View" function
Press button 2 and the built-in warning light comes on.
This system quickly demists and de-ices the windscreen and the front side windows. It requires automatic activation of the heating.
To exit this function, select the adjustment required (distribution, ventilation speed, temperature, air recirculation).
Switching the air recirculation on
Press button 6 and the built-in warning light comes on. Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation operates as follows:
- isolating the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in polluted areas, etc.).
Stopping the system
Turn the control 3 to "OFF" to stop the system.
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 6 again.
Immediate activation of the heating
It is possible to carry out immediate starting of the air conditioning using a smartphone application, as long as:
- the bonnet is closed;
- the traction battery charge level is over 20%;
- the doors are closed and locked;
- the engine is stopped.
For further information, please contact an approved dealer.
Electric windscreen de-icer
-
(depending on the vehicle)
With the engine on, press the switch 8 (the built-in warning light comes on).
This function de-ices/demists the windscreen (on equipped vehicles).
To exit the function, press switch 8 again.
