screen, 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 recov-
ery 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 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 a PEUGEOT
dealer.
1. Centre panel vents.

2. Adjustment of the glove box air
fl ow (see section "Interior layout").

3. Air outlet to passenger footwells.

4. Two ventilation vents at the rear at
the base of the centre console be-
tween the passengers.

5. Side vents.

6. Front windows de-icing or demist-
ing vents.

7. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.

8. Sunshine sensor.

9. Air diffuser grille. AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
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 wind-
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.
