Air vents
Never close the air vents
pletely to ensure heating, cooling and venti-
lation inside the vehicle.
●
To open the air vents press the recess with
one slat.
●
Change the air direction by turning the
slats.
●
To close the air vents, fold the slats.
There are additional air vents in the centre of
the dash panel and in the footwell area.
CAUTION
Never place food, medicines or other heat-
sensitive objects close to the air vents. Being
heat-sensitive, they may be damaged or
made unsuitable for use by the air coming
from the air vents.
Air recirculation mode
Important
Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air from entering the interior.
When the outside temperature is very high or
very low, selecting manual air recirculation
mode for a short period refreshes or heats
the interior more quickly.

WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and re-
duce driver concentration possibly resulting
in a serious accident.
Never use recirculation mode for long peri-
●
ods as it does not refresh the air inside the
vehicle.
If the cooling system is switched off and air
●
recirculation mode switched on, the windows
can mist over very quickly, considerably limit-
ing visibility.
●
Switch air recirculation mode off when it is
not required.
CAUTION
Do not smoke when the air recirculation is ac-
tivated. The smoke taken in could lie on the
cooling system vaporiser and on the dust and
pollen filter, leading to a permanently un-
pleasant smell.

Steering
Introduction
The power steering* is not hydraulic but elec-
tromechanical. The advantage of this steer-
ing system is that it disposes of hydraulic
tubes, hydraulic oil, the pump, filter and oth-
er components. The electromechanical sys-
tem saves fuel. While a hydraulic system re-
quires oil pressure to be maintained, electro-
mechanical steering only requires energy
when the steering wheel is turned.
With the power steering system, the assisted
steering function automatically adjusts ac-
cording to the vehicle speed, the steering tor-
que and the wheel turning angle. The power
steering only works when the engine is run-
ning.
WARNING
If the power steering is not working then the
steering wheel is much more difficult to turn
and the vehicle more difficult to control.
●
The power steering only works when the
engine is running.
●
Never allow the vehicle to move when the
engine is switched off.
Never remove the key from the ignition if
●
the vehicle is in motion. The steering may
