Odours from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit and it
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
When parking, set the air recirculation mode
(
) to outside air circulation mode ( )
to allow fresh air flowing into the passenger
compartment. This should help reducing the
odours inside the vehicle.

Models with Stop/Start System:
Whilst the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start
System, selecting airflow to the front defog-
ger with air blower on or switching on the rear
defogger will cause the engine to be auto-
matically restarted.
Whilst the engine is running, selecting airflow
to the front defogger with air blower on or
switching on the rear defogger will prevent
the Stop/Start System automatically stopping
the engine.
The Stop/Start System will prevent unneces-
sary fuel consumption and exhaust emis-
sions. When the engine is stopped by the
Stop/Start System heater and air conditioner
performance may be reduced.
To avoid the air conditioning functions from
being deactivated, turn off the Stop/Start Sys-
tem mode by pressing the Stop/Start System
OFF switch.
For more information on the Stop/Start Sys-
tem, see “Stop/Start System (where fitted)”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
OPERATING TIPS (for automatic air
conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and outside
air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot
outlets may not operate for a maximum of 150 sec-
onds. However, this is not a malfunction. After the
coolant temperature warms up, the air flow from the
foot outlets will operate normally.
The sensors
jA and jB , located on the instrument
panel, help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around the sensors.
