AIR VENTS, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING

Air recirculation (isolation of the
passenger compartment)
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually.
In this case, the operation is confirmed
by a warning light above button
7
.
Demisting/de-icing will still
take priority over the air re-
circulation.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled without any air being taken from
outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the passen-
ger compartment to be isolated from
the external atmosphere (useful when
driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– to bring the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Manual use
Press button
7
, the indicator light
above comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may
lead to odours, caused by non-renewal
of air, and the formation of condensa-
tion on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to
automatic mode as soon as air recircu-
lation is no longer needed, by pressing
button
7
.
To exit this function, press the button
7
again.
Stopping the system

Air conditioning: information
and advice on use
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning off,
air recirculation activated, ventilation
speed at zero or low, etc.) you may no-
tice that condensation starts to form on
the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the
"Clear View" function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
Do not add anything to
thevehicle’sventilation
circuit (for example, to
remove bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially when dri-
ving in town) when the air conditioning
is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
