AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the "Clear
View" function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
Recommendations to limit energy
consumption and maintain the
vehicle range
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 moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
It is preferable, before setting off, to
use of the programmed air conditioning
➥ 3.17.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle's ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.

or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No hot or cold air is being pro-
duced. Check that the controls are
set correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
