Activating the system

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

The system is also functional when parked.

Raise the control 14 to the desired ventilation speed.

Stopping the system

Press the button 7:

  • the air conditioning or heating 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.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

The control 11 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.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press 8 one or more times to select the air distribution. The air distribution selected 6 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.

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

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.

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 button 15 then use the tab on the multimedia screen to adjust the air temperature. The further towards the red the slide is, the higher the temperature will be.

When the air conditioning system is used for long periods, it may begin to feel cold. To increase the temperature, press 15 then raise the tab upwards on the multimedia screen.

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 14 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.

"Clear View" function

Press the button 13 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: it automatically deactivates air recirculation.

To exit this function, press the button 13 again.

tip

Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press button 12 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 the button 12 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.

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.

To activate the function, press the button 9. The indicator light on the button 9 comes on. Deactivate ECO mode to make the most of it.

To deactivate the function, press 9 again. The indicator light on the button 9 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 button 10 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.

Note: in order to prevent the windows from misting up, the system may automatically deactivate the function. The indicator light built into button 10 goes out.

To exit this function, press the button 10 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 10 again.
