MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly when air
conditioning is activated.
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually. In
this case, the operation is confirmed by
the button's warning light 4.
Manual use
Press button 4, the button's 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. To avoid this, air recir-
culation is disabled automatically after
a certain time.

This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). It

tioning and rear screen de-icing func-
tions.
Press button 2 to stop the heated rear
screen operating, and the integrated in-
dicator goes out.
To exit this function, press button 7

tion will disable the air recirculation.

Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Activation is not possible if the 3 control
is set to "0" (control A) or "OFF" (con-
trol B).
Press the 6 button to deactivate the air
conditioning. The button's warning light
will go out.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more
quickly.
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).
