Operation
Activating the system

The system is also functional when parked.
Press the control 14 to activate the system or set the control 17 to the desired ventilation speed.
Stopping the system

The automatic climate control system guarantees comfort in the passenger compartment
and good visibility (except in the event of extreme conditions), while optimising

Press button 14
Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment
Press 11 one or more times to select the air distribution. The air distribution selected 8 is displayed on the multimedia screen. The positions are in the following order:
- All the air is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.
- The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.
- The air flow is distributed between the front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents, the dashboard air vents and the footwells.
- The air flow is mainly directed to the dashboard air vents.
- The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and towards the footwells.
- The air flow is directed mainly towards the footwells.
Adjusting the air temperature
Press or raise control 18 to adjust the temperature displayed on the indicator light 1.
Adjusting the ventilation fan speed
In automatic mode, the system uses the most suitable amount of air to reach and maintain
the desired comfort level.
You will still be able to adjust the ventilation speed by pressing the control 17 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.
"Clear View" function
Press the button 16 and the built-in warning light comes on.
This function quickly de-mists the windscreen, rear screen, front side windows and
door mirrors (depending on the vehicle). It automatically activates the air conditioning
and rear screen de-icing functions.
To exit this function, press button 14 or 16.
Rear screen de-icing and demisting
Press the button 15 and the built-in warning light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting or
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing of the rear view mirrors (on equipped vehicles).
To exit this function, press button 15 again. Demisting automatically stops.
"A/C MAX" function
The "A/C MAX" function enables the user to feel the maximum power of their air conditioning system
without any constraint or compromise related to the acoustics and the feeling of the
air being too cold on the hands and face.
This function involves automatic modifications:
- temperature programmed to fully cold;
- distribution of air to the occupants;
- air flow at its maximum power;
- activation of the air conditioning;
- air recirculation.
Press the button 12 to activate the function. Deactivate ECO mode for best performance.
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 built into the button 13.
Tip
Demisting/de-icing will still take priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press the button 13 and the built-in warning light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead to odours, caused by non-renewal of air, and
the formation of condensation on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to automatic mode as soon as air recirculation is
no longer needed, by pressing button 13.
ECO mode
From the MULTI-SENSE menu accessible from the multimedia screen 20 or by pressing the switch 19, you can activate ECO mode, which affects the heating level and reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption.
An ECO warning light located under the temperature display on the multimedia screen 20 informs you that ECO mode is activated.
"Favourites" function
Depending on the vehicle, by pressing the steering wheel control 21 you can activate the following functions according to the stored user settings that
you have previously defined:
- heated steering wheel;
- heated seats;
- heated rear screen;
- heated rear view mirrors.

instructions.
