Adjusting the temperature
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5 °C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using the "OPTIONS" button,
then press button 12.
The driver and front passenger can each choose
their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
► Press one of the buttons 1 to increase (red)
or decrease (blue) the value.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if it was deactivated.
Automatic Comfort
programme
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
► Press button 9 to activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system’s automatic mode .
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
You can adjust the intensity of the
automatic Comfort programme by using the
"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.
Manual control
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
of these functions, while the system retains
automatic control of the other functions:
– air flow.
Automatic Visibility
programme
For more information on button 8, refer to the

Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates
interior air recirculation.
The lighting of the button indicates that air is
being blown in the specified direction.
For a uniform distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, the three buttons can be activated
simultaneously.
► Press button 6 to activate/deactivate the
function (the indicator lamp will come on/switch

passengers can control the air flow from these
air vents independently of the air conditioning air
flow control for the front air vents.
When the function is deactivated, the maximum
air flow distributed by the rear air vents is limited
by the air conditioning air flow setting for the
front air vents.
In AUTO mode, the indicator lamps in all three
buttons 3 are off.

It is possible to manually change the air flow
without deactivating the automatic Visibility
programme.
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.

► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the mode (confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the indicator lamp).
The programme automatically manages the air
conditioning (depending on version), air flow
and air intake, and provides optimum distribution
towards the windscreen and side windows.
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside
the left-hand windscreen pillar.
