Avoid driving for too long with the

ventilation oﬀ or with prolonged operation

of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and

deterioration of the air quality!

The air circulating in the passenger compartment

is ﬁltered and originates either from the

exterior, via the grille located at the base of the

windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation

mode.

If the interior temperature is very high

after the vehicle has stood for a long

time in the sunshine, air the passenger

compartment for a few moments.

Put the air ﬂow control at a setting high

enough to quickly change the air in the

passenger compartment.

Controls

Depending on version, the controls are

accessible in the Climate touch screen menu

or are grouped together on the centre console

panel.

Advice

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,

keep the external air intake grilles at the base

of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the

air outlets and the air extractor in the boot

free from obstructions.

Condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly

normal.

► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located

on the dashboard; this sensor is used to

"OPTIONS" button to select one of the available

settings:

In cold weather with the engine cold, the

air ﬂow is increased gradually until the

comfort setting has been reached, in order to

limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger

compartment.

On entering the vehicle, if the interior

temperature is much colder or warmer than

the comfort setting requested, there is no

need to alter the value displayed to more

quickly reach the required level of comfort.

The system automatically corrects the

temperature diﬀerence as quickly as possible.

Interior air recirculation

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation

of mist on the windscreen and side windows.

Recirculating the interior air isolates the

passenger compartment from outside odours

and fumes and allows the desired passenger

compartment temperature to be achieved more

rapidly.

With Stop & Start, when demisting has

been activated, STOP mode is not

available.

In wintry conditions, before moving oﬀ,

remove all snow or ice on the windscreen

near the camera.
