Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
Use the air conditioning
system regularly, even in
cold weather, running it at
least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
Maintenance
Refer to the maintenance document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.

or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the cabin filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set correct-
ly and that the fuses are sound. Other-
wise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the vehi-
cle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water to
be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Do not open the refrig-
erant circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or
skin.
Refrigerant fluid
The refrigerant fluid circuit (of which
some components are hermetically
sealed) may contain fluorinated green-
house gases.
