In certain cases of particu-
larly arduous use (towing the
maximum load on a steep
gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
In order for the air conditioning to be
fully effective, the windows must be
closed.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to
keep it in good working order.
The water produced by the air con-
ditioning condensation is discharged
through an opening provided for this
purpose. Therefore, a puddle of wa-
ter may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In order to ensure that the air condi-
tioning system operates correctly, reg-
ular checks are also recommended.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

MIRRORS
Move the lever in all four directions
to adjust.
When the vehicle is parked, the ex-
terior mirrors can be folded back
manually.
The exterior mirror on the
driver"s side is convex (out-
e r e d g e d e i n e d b y a d o t t e d
line) in order to eliminate the
"blind spot".
As a result, objects observed in the
driver"s and passenger"s mirrors are
in reality closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to
correctly judge the distance of vehi-
cles approaching from behind.
