VENTILATION

1. Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vents.

2. Front door windows de-icing or
demisting vents.

3. Side vents.

4. Centre vents.

5. Air outlet to front footwells.

6. Air outlet to rear footwells (with
automatic air conditioning only). Advice on operation
and notes
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in a high tempera-
ture), cutting off the air conditioning
permits recovery of the engine pow-
er and, therefore improvement of the
towing capacity.
Ensure that the passenger com-
partment fi lter, located by the wind-
screen, under the bonnet, is in good
condition. Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. 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 pud-
dle may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Place the air fl ow control at a level
suffi cient to ensure an adequate re-
newal of air in the passenger com-
partment.
When the air fl ow control is in the

OFF position (system switched off),
temperature-related comfort is no
longer guaranteed. However, a slight
fl ow 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 pas-
sages and the air outlets in the foot-
wells.
