Information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially when dri-
ving in town) when the air conditioning
is operating.
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.
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.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
Contact an approved dealer.
– 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 fluid circuit. The
fluid may damage eyes
or skin.
