The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.














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
results 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 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 needed
as lower current consump-
tion results in reduced fuel
consumption.



Switching on



)
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/de-
frost operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the
button again. The indicator lamp as-
sociated with the button goes off.









The rear screen demisting - defrosting
can only operate when the hybrid system
is active.

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 only operates when
the hybrid system is active, except in
STOP mode of Stop & Start. 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.).

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
effectively 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 dis-
tribution 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.






With Stop & Start, when dem-
isting has been switched on,
the Diesel engine will not stop.

)
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.

ing of the passenger compart-
ment, it is possible to exceed
the minimum value 14 or the maxi-
mum value 28.

zone). The indicator lamp in
the button comes on.


8. Air recirculation


)
Press this button to recircu-
late the interior air. The in-
dicator lamp for the button
corresponding to the func-
tion chosen comes on.


- Closed/Air intake (automatic
mode). Press this button, the
indicator lamp comes on.

- Forced closing of air intake
(manual mode). press this button
to recirculate the interior air, the
indicator lamp comes on.

Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.


)
As soon as possible, press the
"auto" button to allow the intake of
exterior air and avoid misting.



Switching the system off



)
Turn the air fl ow control to the left
until all of the indicator lamps go
off.
This action switches off all of the func-
tions of the system.
Temperature related comfort is no lon-
ger guaranteed but a slight fl ow of air,
due to the movement of the vehicle, can
still be felt.


)
Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or
press the "AUTO"
button to reacti-
vate the system with the values set
before it was switched off.
Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the system off.
