For even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grille located at the bottom of the wind-screen, the vents, the air outlets under the front seats and the air extractor lo-cated 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 improve-ment of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefit from the full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition. Have the filter elements replaced periodically. 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 conditioning condensation is discharged via an open-ing provided for this purpose. 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. Centre panel vents.
2. Temperature and humidity sensor.

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 ir currents, while maintaining an optimum temperature inside the passen-ger compartment.
Advice on operation
To obtain even ventilation, avoid closing the air diffuser grille 10.
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-tense 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 passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Use of the automatic regulation of the air conditioning is recommended. It permits automatic and optimised con-trol of all of the following functions: air flow, passenger compartment temper-ature 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 addition, a humid-ity sensor anticipates the formation of condensation in the vehicle during its use.
Do not cover the temperature and hu-midity sensor 2 and the sunshine sen-sor 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 re-quirements.
The symbols and messages associ-ated with the automatic air conditioning controls appear on the multifunction dis-play.
Control by the Auto programme
Automatic programme - driver and passenger comfort (1)
Press the "AUTO" button. The indica-tor light comes on. The "AUTO" sym-bol is displayed on the multi-function display.
Depending on the level of comfort se-lected, the system controls the air dis-tribution, 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 adjustments.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution 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 cor-responds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the choice of configuration validated on the dis-play.
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)
Air flow
 Turn dial 4 to the right to increase the air flow or to the left to reduce it.
 Turn the dial 4 to the left until the flow of air stops.

Adjustment of the passenger air distribution (6)
Control via the manual controls
It is possible to adjust one or more functions manually while leaving the other functions in automatic mode.
The "AUTO" button indicator light is switched off.
Switching to manual mode may result in discomfort (temperature, humidity, odour, condensation) and is not advan-tageous (comfort).
To return to automatic mode, press the "AUTO" button.
On entering the vehicle, the interior temperature may be much colder (or warmer) than is comfortable. There is no need to change the temperature dis-played in order to obtain rapidly the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air con-ditioning will use its maximum perform-ance settings to correct the temperature difference as quickly as possible.
To reactivate the air conditioning:
 Press button 1, 2 or 3.
