Advice on operation
and notes
Place the air flow control at a level suffi-
cient to ensure an adequate renewal of
air in the passenger compartment.
When the air flow control is in the
OFF position (system switched off),
temperature-related comfort is no
longer guaranteed. However, a slight
flow of air, due to the movement of
the vehicle, can still be felt.
Select the air distribution which is
most suited to your requirements and
the weather conditions.
Change the temperature setting pro-
gressively for greater comfort.
Place the air intake control in the
"Exterior air" position, this facilitates
demisting.
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a long period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
To obtain a perfectly uniform distribu-
tion of air, do not cover the exterior air
intake grille, the vents, the air passag-
es and the air outlets in the footwells. In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in a high temperature),
cutting off the air conditioning permits
recovery of the engine power and,
therefore improvement of the towing
capacity.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment filter, located by the windscreen,
under the bonnet, is in good condition.
Have the filter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
change them twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in perfect working order.
The water formed by the condensa-
tion of the air conditioning system is
discharged via an opening provided
for this purpose. Therefore, a puddle
may form underneath the vehicle when
stationary.
If the system does not produce cold
air, do not use it and contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.

DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
De-icing the rear screen
and mirrors
When the engine is running,
pressing this button de-ices
the rear screen and exterior
mirrors.
It switches off automatically, after
approximately twelve minutes*, to
prevent an excessive consumption
of current. Pressing the button again
restarts operation for twelve minutes.
It is possible to stop the operation of
the de-icing before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again.
Switch off the de-icing as soon as
you consider this necessary as low
current consumption reduces fuel
consumption.
Manual demisting*
To quickly demist the windscreen and
side windows:
- switch on the air conditioning,
- place the temperature and air flow controls in the maximum position,
- close the central vents,
- place the exterior air intake control on the left, in the "Exterior Air" position.
Automatic demisting, visibility
programme*
In some cases, the AUTO programme
may not be sufficient to demist the wind-
screen and side windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice...).
Select the "visibility" demisting pro-
gramme by pressing this button to clear
the windows quickly.
To exit from this programme and return
to the AUTO programme, press the
AUTO button.
* According to version or country.

AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.
The air conditioning does not operate
while the air flow adjustment control
is in the "OFF" position.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.
1. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed. In summer,
it permits lowering of the temperature
and in winter, above 0 °C, it increases
the effectiveness of the demisting. 2. Temperature adjustment
Turn the control from blue (cold) to
red (hot) to adjust the temperature to
suit your requirements.
Windscreen and side windows

Intake of exterior air.
Air recirculation.
The recirculation of interior air prevents
exterior odours and smoke entering
the passenger compartment.
The intake of exterior air prevents
and eliminates misting of the wind-
screen and side windows.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, air recirculation improves
air conditioning performance.
Used in a damp climate, air recirculation
may result in misting of the windows.
Move the manual control 5 to the
right to the "Interior air recirculation"
position.
Move the manual control 5 to the left
to the "Exterior air intake" position as
soon as possible to prevent deterio-
ration of the air quality.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.
Automatic operation
2. Control by the AUTO pro-
gramme
Press the "AUTO" button.
We recommend that you use
this mode: it provides opti-
mised automatic control of
all of the functions, passenger com-
partment temperature, air flow, air
distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen. This system is
designed to operate effectively in all
seasons, with the windows closed. Note:
for your comfort, the values set
when the engine is switched off are
retained on re-starting if the tempera-
ture in the passenger compartment
has not changed significantly; other-
wise, operation resumes in automatic
mode.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will only reach its optimum
level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than is comfortable, there is no need
to change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort.
The system eliminates the tempera-
ture difference automatically and as
quickly as possible.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the sys-
tem by changing a setting. The other
functions will still be controlled auto-
matically.
Pressing the AUTO button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
1. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the
display corresponds to a level
of comfort and not to a tem-
perature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Press the arrows 1 (up and down) to
change this value. A setting around
21 enables a comfortable tempera-
ture to be obtained.

cooling.
The symbol ECO is displayed.
Automatic operation of the air condi-
tioning is resumed when the button is
pressed again.
The symbol A/C is displayed.
4. Air distribution Pressing this button several
times in succession enables
the air flow to be directed in
turn towards:
-
the windscreen (de-icing or demisting),- the windscreen and the footwells,
- the footwells,
-
the centre and side vents and the foot-
wells,
- the centre and side vents. 5. Air flow
Press buttons "+" and
"-" respectively to in-
crease or decrease
the air flow.
6. Air intake/Air recirculation 7. Switching the system off
The OFF button switches off all
the functions of the system.
Temperature-related comfort and de-
misting are no longer guaranteed but
a slight flow of air is maintained.
Pressing the OFF, AUTO , or "visibility"
button again reactivates the system with
the values set before it was switched
off.
Note: if you wish to cut off the flow
of air completely, press the air intake
button 7.
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
Recirculation, shown on the
display, enables the passen-
ger compartment to be insulated from
exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of inte-
rior air (risk of condensation and de-
terioration of the air quality).
Press the button again to resume auto-
matic management of the intake of air.
Notes
To prevent condensation on the in-
side of the vehicle in cold or wet
weather, you are advised to avoid
using the
ECO mode.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.

The head restraint has a frame with
notches, which prevent the head re-
straint dropping down (this is a safety
device in the event of an impact).

restraints removed; they
must be in place and cor-
rectly adjusted. Rear head restraints
These have a high position for when
they are in use and a low position for
when they are stored. They are re-
movable.
To lower the head restraints, press
the lug.
To remove them, pull upwards as far
as the stop, then press the release
control.
