windscreen, the vents, the air outlets
under the front seats and the air
extractor located behind the fl aps 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
improvement of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefi t from the
full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter is in good condition. Have
the fi lter 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 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 a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Air diffuser
The air diffuser grille, located at the
top of the centre console, signifi cantly
improves distribution and fl ows and
prevents air currents, while maintain-
ing an optimum temperature inside the
passenger compartment.
Advice on operation
To obtain even ventilation,
avoid closing the air diffuser
grille 9 .
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, you can close the air
diffuser grille 10 and use vents 1 and
5 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.
For even air distribution, take care
not to obstruct the exterior air intake
grille located at the bottom of the
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
fl ow, passenger compartment temper-
ature and air distribution, by means
of various sensors, so preventing the
need for you to change your refer-
ence settings other than the value dis-
played.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
8 .
It is 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 associat-
ed with the automatic air conditioning
controls appear on the multifunction
display.

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
confi guration 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.
Depending on the level of comfort selected,
the system controls the air distribution, fl ow,
temperature and intake of air in order to
guarantee comfort and an adequate circu-
lation 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.
