VENTILATION Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning). The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to increase
or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,
- air fl ow,
- air distribution,
- demisting-defrosting,
- manual or digital air conditioning controls.
Air distribution

1.
Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.

2. Front side window demisting-defrosting
vents.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below:

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard ; this is used
for regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 mi nutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in good working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

 We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter .
Thanks to its special active treatment, it contributes to the p urifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the p assenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked as recommended in the Warranty and Main te-
nance Record.

 If the system does not produce cold air, deactivate it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, the performance of the air conditioning system
may be reduced. However, installing the windstop improves comfo rt.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available e ngine power and so
improves towing performance.
If after a prolonged stop in sunshine the interior temperat ure is high, fi rst ven-
tilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.
Set the air blower control fast enough to quickly change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

COMFORT

When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will only reach its opti-
mum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, the side windows and the
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to alter the value
displayed in order to obtain the re-
quired level of comfort. The system
corrects the temperature differ-
ence automatically and as quickly
as possible.

The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.

The driver and his front passen-
ger can each set the temperature
to suit their requirements.

 Turn dial 2 or 3 to the left to reduce
the value or to the right to increase it.
A setting around 21 enables you to ob-
tain an optimum level of comfort. De-
pending on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left/right setting difference of
more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice...).

 In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol is
displayed. 2. Driver's side adjustment DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend that you use this mode:
it provides optimised automatic control of
all of the functions, passenger compart-
ment temperature, air fl ow, air distribu-
tion and air recirculation, in accordance
with the comfort value that you have se-
lected.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

the air conditioning off. 6. Air distribution adjustment

 Press this button several
times in succession to direct
the air fl ow in turn towards:
7. Air fl ow adjustment
 Press the "small fan" but-
ton to reduce the air fl ow.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation Deactivation of the system

 Press the "small fan" button until
the fan symbol disappears.
This action deactivates all of the func-
tions of the air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer main-
tained at a comfortable level. However,
a slight fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.

 Press the "large fan" button again
or the "AUTO" button to reactivate
the system with the values which
were set before it was deactivated.

 Press this button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
air recirculation symbol is
displayed.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
Avoid driving for too long with the
air conditioning deactivated.
Avoid prolonged operation in inte-
rior air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation and of deterioration
of the air quality).
- the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells,
- the windscreen and side windows (demisting or defrosting),
- the central and side vents,
- the central vents, the side vents and the footwells,
- the footwells.

 Press the "large fan"
button to increase the air
fl ow.
The air fl ow symbol, the fan, is fi lled in
progressively in relation to the value re-
quired. Air recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment.

 As soon as possible, press this button
again to permit the intake of exterior
air and prevent misting.
For maximum cooling or heating of
the passenger compartment, you
can exceed the minimum value of
14 or the maximum value of 28.

 Turn dial 2 or 3 to the left until

"LO" is displayed or to the right
until "HI" is displayed.
Resuming manual control
Depending on your requirements, you
can make a different selection from that
offered by the system by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be
controlled automatically.

 Press the "AUTO" button to return
to fully automatic operation.
Switching the system off may result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).

 Press the button again to return to
automatic operation of the air con-
ditioning. The symbol " A/C " is dis-
played.

 Pull the windscreen wiper stalk to-
wards you.
The headlamp wash is only activate if
the dipped headlamps are on .
With daytime running lamps, to
activate the headlamp wash, posi-
tion the lighting stalk in the dipped

On vehicles fi tted with digital air
conditioning, any action on the
windscreen wash control results in
temporary closing of the air intake
to avoid odours inside the passen-
ger compartment.
Automatic wiping is not available
on the 207CC at present.
