For even air distribution, take care
not to obstruct the exterior air intake
grille located at the bottom of the
windscreen, the vents, the air outlets
under the front seats and the air ex-
tractor located behind the flaps in the
boot.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recovery
of the engine power and therefore im-
provement of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefit from
the full effectiveness of the air
conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment filter is in good condition. Have
the filter elements replaced periodical-
ly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
replace it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water formed by the air condi-
tioning condensation is discharged
via an opening provided for this pur-
pose. Therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold
air, do not use it and contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.1.

AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Air diffuser
The air diffuser grille, located at the
top of the centre console, significantly
improves distribution and flows and
prevents air currents, while maintaining
an optimum temperature inside the pas-
senger compartment.
Advice on operation
To obtain even ventilation,
avoid closing the air diffuser
grille 10.
In hot weather, in order to obtain
intense ventilation, you can close the
air diffuser grille 10 and use vents 1
and 6 only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes.
Use of the automatic regulation of
the air conditioning is recommended.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
tions: air flow, passenger compart-
ment temperature and air distribution,
by means of various sensors (exterior
temperature, interior temperature,
sunshine), so preventing the need for
you to change your reference settings
other than the value displayed. In ad-
dition, a humidity sensor anticipates
the formation of condensation in the
vehicle during its use.
Do not cover the temperature and
humidity sensor 2 and the sunshine
sensor 9.
They are required for regulation of
the air conditioning.

AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING (DUAL ZONE)
Dual zone: this is the differentiated
regulation of the temperature and air
distribution on the driver’s side and
the front passenger side.
The driver and his front passenger
can each adjust the temperature and
the distribution of the air to suit their
requirements.
The symbols and messages associ-
ated with the automatic air conditioning
controls appear on the multifunction
display.

comfort (1)
Press the "AUTO" button. The indi-
cator light comes on. The "AUTO"
symbol is displayed on the multi-
function display.
Depending on the level of comfort
selected, the system controls the air
distribution, flow, temperature and
intake of air in order to guarantee
comfort and an adequate circulation
of air in the passenger compartment.
You do not have to make any adjust-
ments.
When the engine is cold, to
prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air, the ventilation
will only reach its optimum
level progressively.

Adjustment of the
temperature on the
driver’s side (2)
Adjustment of the
temperature on the
passenger side (3)
 Press the up or down arrow to
change the temperature on the
driver’s side 2 or passenger side 3.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not to a temperature in degrees Cel-
sius or Fahrenheit, depending on the
choice of configuration validated on
the display.
A setting around the value 21 makes
it possible to obtain optimum comfort.
However, depending on your require-
ments, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.Blower (4)

rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate flow of air is main-
tained. Adjustment of
the driver’s air
distribution (5)
Successive or continuous pressure on
button
