Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.

)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recir-
culation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.

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

)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition 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 second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This re-
sults in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambi-
ent temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and
so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also ad-
vised to have it checked regularly.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.

Windscreen and side windows.
1. Temperature adjustment
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.
















The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air limits misting
of the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
air quality and demisting performance.

)
If you place the air fl ow
control in position 0
(de-
activation of the system),
the temperature is no lon-
ger maintained at a com-
fortable level. However, a
slight fl ow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.


3. Air distribution adjustment


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.

)
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp goes off to confi rm this.

COMFORT

Demisting/defrosting

The control button is located
on the air conditioning system
control panel.








REAR SCREEN DEMIST/
DEFROST



)
Switch off the demist/de-
frost of the rear screen and
door mirrors as soon as it
is no longer necessary as
lower current consump-
tion results in reduced fuel
consumption.



Switching on

The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the door mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.



Switching off

The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demist/
defrost operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off.


5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).

Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air fl ow adjustment control 2

is in position " 0
".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you
can use recycling of the interior air for
a few moments. Then return to fresh air
intake. The marking on the control
panel indicates the position of
the controls to quickly demist
or defrost the windscreen and
side windows:


)
place the air intake control 4
in the
"Exterior air intake" position (indica-
tor lamp off),

)
place the air distribution dial 3
in the
"Windscreen position",

)
place the air fl ow dial 2
in position 5
(maximum),

)
place the temperature dial 1
in the
red position (hot).







With Stop & Start, when de-
misting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.

62
COMFORT
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much
colder or warmer than the
comfort value, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to obtain the comfort required more
quickly. The system corrects the dif-
ference in temperature automatically
and as quickly as possible.

The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting 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 win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).


)
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 indicator lamp in the
button comes on.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated in the screen cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.


)
To switch it off, press the "visibility"

button again or press the "AUTO"

button, the indicator lamp in the but-
ton goes off or the indicator lamp in
the "AUTO"
button comes on.


1. Automatic comfort programme
To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.
