Activating the system

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

The system is also functional when the vehicle is stationary with the engine on.

Press the control 12 to activate the system or set the control 15 to the desired fan speed.

Stopping the system

Press the control 8 to stop the system.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

In automatic mode, the system manages activation of the air conditioning. It is still possible to activate or deactivate the system by pressing the control 3.

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 button 12.

SOFT: enables the desired temperature level to be obtained more smoothly and silently. Press button 12 then press downwards 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 12 then press upwards again to activate FAST mode.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press on 9 once or repeatedly to adjust the air distribution. The selected air distribution setting 7 is displayed on the multimedia screen. The positions are in the following order:

The air flow comes from the windscreen demisting vents and the demisting vents of the front side windows.

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

The air flow comes mainly through the dashboard air vents.

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

The air flow comes mainly through the vents located at the occupants' feet (underneath the dashboard and/or underneath the front seats).

Adjusting the air temperature

Press the control 16 to adjust the air temperature.

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 can still adjust the ventilation speed by pressing the control 15 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.

"Clear View" function

Press the button 14: the built-in indicator light comes on.

This function quickly de-mists the windscreen, rear screen, front side windows and door mirrors (depending on the vehicle). It automatically activates the air conditioning and rear screen de-icing functions.

Note: it automatically deactivates air recirculation.

To exit this function, press button 12 or 14.

tip

Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press the button 13: the built-in indicator light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting or de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing of the rear view mirrors (on equipped vehicles).

To exit this function, press the button 13 again. Demisting automatically stops.

"A/C MAX" function

The "A/C MAX" function enables the air conditioning system to work to its maximum potential. It can be activated for a short period to quickly cool the passenger compartment.

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.

To activate the function, press button 10. The indicator light on the button 10 lights up. Deactivate Save mode for best performance.

To deactivate this function, press again on button 10 or button 15. The indicator light on button 10 goes out.

Air recirculation (isolation of the passenger compartment)

You can activate the recirculation function from time to time to isolate the passenger compartment from outside air, for example when driving through a polluted area.

tip

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

Manual use

Press the button 11: the built-in indicator light comes on.

Note: in order to prevent the windows from misting up, the system may automatically deactivate the function. The integrated indicator light on button 11 goes out.

Press button 11 again to deactivate the function as soon as air recirculation is no longer necessary.
