A , the temperature is
correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
light 1 and the central STOP warning
light come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
After driving for a few minutes, the
tempe rature and pressure in the coo ling
system increase.

possible to prevent deterioration of the
the air quality and avoid misting.

 If you place the air fl ow control
in position 0 (deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfor-
table level. However, a slight
fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
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. On entering the vehicle, if the inte-
rior temperature is much colder or
warmer than the comfort value, there
is no need to change the value dis-
played in order to obtain the comfort
required. The system corrects the
difference in temperature automati-
cally and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front
passenger can each adjust
the temperature 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, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to 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 de-ice the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
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 distri bution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator light on the
button comes on. 2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised
adjustment of all of the functions, pas-
senger compartment temperature,
air fl ow, air distribution and air recircu-
lation, in accordance with the comfort
value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with auto matic
adaptation in the "cabriolet" confi guration. The value indicated on the display
corresponds 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 light on the button
switches off and the indicator light on
the "AUTO" button comes on.
