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 out-
lets under the front seats and the air
extractor located behind the laps in
the boot.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in hot weather),
cutting off the air conditioning per-
mits recovery of the engine power
and therefore improvement of the
towing capacity.
Close the windows to beneit from
the full effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment ilter is in good condition. Have
the ilter elements replaced periodi-
cally. If you drive in a dusty environ-
ment, 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.

THE AIR CONDITIONING
Air diffuser
The air diffuser grille, located at
the top of the centre console, sig-
niicantly improves distribution and
lows and prevents air currents, while
maintaining an optimum temperature
inside the passenger 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 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 functions:
air low, passenger compartment
temperature and air distribution, by
means of various sensors (exterior
temperature, interior temperature,
sunshine), so preventing the need
for you to change your reference set-
tings other than the value displayed.
In addition, a humidity sensor antici-
pates 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 associat-
ed with the automatic air conditioning
controls appear on the multifunction
display.
Control by the Auto programmeAutomatic
programme - driver
and passenger
comfort (1)
Press the "AUTO" button. The indi-
cator light comes on. The "AUTO"
symbol is displayed on the multifunc-
tion display.
Depending on the level of comfort
selected, the system controls the air
distribution, low, 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.

passenger side (3)
F Press the up or down arrow to
change the temperature on the dri-
ver'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
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the choice of coniguration validated
on the display.

it possible to obtain optimum comfort.
However, depending on your require-
ments, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual. Blower (4)

The temperature-related comfort is
no longer controlled (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air
conditioning deactivated.
To reactivate the air conditioning:
F Press button 1, 2 or 3.
Deactivation of the air
conditioning
The air low symbol (fan) is displayed
on the multifunction display and is illed
in in relation to the value required.
To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate low of air is main-
tained. Adjustment of
the driver's air
distribution (5)
Successive or continuous pressure
on button 5 or 6 enables you to direct
the low of air on the driver's side or
on the passenger side independently.
The symbol (arrows) corresponding
to the chosen direction 5 or 6 is dis-
played on the multifunction display. 5 Windscreen and front side win-
dows.

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 re-
sult in discomfort (temperature, hu-
midity, odour, condensation) and is
not advantageous (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 tem-
perature displayed in order to obtain
rapidly the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

Front visibility
control (7)
In certain cases, the comfort pro-
gramme may not be suficient to de-
mist or de-ice the windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice).
F In this case, select the front vis-
ibility programme in order to clear
the windows quickly. The indicator
light comes on.
It controls the air conditioning, air
low and intake and distributes the
ventilation to the windscreen and
front side windows.
The front visibility control symbol is
displayed on the multifunction dis-
play.
Once the inconvenience has been
eliminated, pressing button 1 returns
the system to the comfort setting. Intake of exterior
air/Recirculation
of interior air (8)
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.
F Press button 8 several times to
set the air intake mode, the indi-
cator light which corresponds to
the mode set comes on at your
preference:
- intake of exterior air. Forced exte- rior air intake mode.
- recirculation of the air inside the passenger compartment.
The indicator light which corres- ponds to the mode set comes on.
Prolonged operation in interior air
recirculation mode may result in
the formation of condensation and
deterioration of the quality of the
interior air.
Do not drive in air recirculation mode for prolonged periods, ex-
cept in truly exceptional atmosphe-
ric conditions.
The message associated with the control is displayed on the multi-
function display.
F Press button 8 to return to auto-
matic control of the air intake.
For your comfort, when the igni-
tion is switched off, the settings
are stored until it is switched on
again. Rear screen
demisting (9)
The heated rear screen operates
independently of the air conditioning
system.
F Press button 9, with the engine
running, to demist the rear screen
and the mirrors. The indicator light
comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid an excessive consump-
tion of current and in relation to the
exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing but-
ton 9 again or when the engine is
switched off.
However, the demisting resumes
if the engine is switched on again
within one minute.
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
