Activating the system

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

The system is also functional when parked.

Press the control 14 to activate the system or set the control 17 to the desired ventilation speed.

Stopping the system

Set the control 17 to the "OFF" position.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

In automatic mode, the system manages activation of the air conditioning. You will still be able to activate or deactivate the system by pressing the control 5.

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: allows the selected comfort level to be best attained, depending on the exterior conditions. Press the button 14.

SOFT: reaches the desired comfort level more gently and silently. Press the button 14, 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 the button 14, then press upwards to activate FAST mode.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press 11 one or more times to select the air distribution. The air distribution selected 8 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 is distributed between the front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents, the dashboard air vents and the footwells.

The air flow comes mainly out of the dashboard air vents and the central vents for the rear passengers.

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

There are two types of settings:

  • independent adjustment of the passenger compartment;
  • adjustment in SYNC mode to synchronise the passenger's side and the driver's side.

Independent adjustment of the passenger compartment

Use controls 10 and 18 to adjust the left-hand and right-hand side independently.

Adjustment in SYNC mode

Press SYNC3 on your multimedia screen to synchronise the passenger-side temperature with that on the driver's side.

To exit this function, press SYNC again or adjust the temperature on the passenger side.

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 17 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.

"Clear View" function

Press the button 16 and the built-in warning 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: this automatically deactivates air recirculation.

To exit this function, press button 14 or 16.

tip

Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press the button 15 and the built-in warning 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 button 15 again. Demisting automatically stops.

"A/C MAX" function

The "A/C MAX" function enables the maximum potential of the air conditioning system. 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 the button 12. The indicator light on the button 12 comes on. Deactivate Save mode to make the most of it.

To deactivate this function, press again on button 12 or button 14. The indicator light on the button 12 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 13 and the built-in warning 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 13 goes out.

Press the button 13 again to deactivate the function as soon as the air recirculation is no longer necessary.

  • heated steering wheel;
  • heated seats;
