Ease of use and comfort
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► Ensure that the passenger compartment
lter is in good condition and have the lter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment lter. Its specic active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
► To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop &
Start system, refer to the corresponding
section.
ECO driving mode
Selecting this mode reduces electrical
energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air
conditioning systems, although it does not
deactivate them.
