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.
The function is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
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, if necessary, activates interior air recirculation.
Once the function is deactivated, the system returns to the previous settings.
Switching off the air conditioning system
Its indicator lamp comes on and all of the other indicator lamps for the system go off.
This action deactivates all of the functions of the air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward movement of the vehicle.
This system manages the duration of use of certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematic system, the wipers and the dipped beam headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when energy economy mode is entered, and the active functions are placed on standby.
If a
telephone call is in progress at the time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free system.
