Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It
permits optimised automatic control of
all of the following functions: air flow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, using various sen-
sors (exterior temperature and sun-
shine), so there is no need to change
your reference settings other than the
value displayed.
Recommendations for
use and notes
If the interior temperature
remains very high following a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
To obtain uniform 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 in the boot.
In cold weather, in order to obtain
uniform comfort, more rapid demist-
ing or if the flow of air on your face
feels uncomfortable, it is advisable
to close vents 3 and 4.
When washing the vehicle using high
pressure equipment, do not direct
the jet towards the exterior air intake
grille.
To obtain optimum demisting, we rec-
ommend that the windows are kept
clean on the inside of the vehicle.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient when the temperature
is high), cutting off the air conditioning
permits the recovery of engine power
and, therefore, an increase in the tow-
ing capacity. For the air conditioning to be fully effec-
tive, the windows must be closed.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment filter is in good condition. Have
the filter elements replaced regularly.
If you drive in a dusty environment,
replace them twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
The water resulting from the conden-
sation of the air conditioning system
is discharged via an opening 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.
Flashing of the points separating the
setting value digits indicates a mal-
function of the air conditioning. Contact
your PEUGEOT dealer.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (DUAL ZONE)
 Press the "AUTO"
button(s). Note:
when the visibility programme
9 or the air intake/recirculation 10 is
selected, the passenger's "AUTO"
button is deactivated; the indica-
tor light of the corresponding button
flashes temporarily.
3 - Adjustment of the driver's temperature
4 - Adjustment of the passenger temperature
 Press the up or down arrow
to change the temperature
on the driver's side 3 or
passenger side 4.
The value indicated on the
display corresponds to a
level of comfort and not to a tempera-
ture in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit,
depending on the choice of configura-
tion 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.
The system is automatically set to the
value required.
Depending on the level of comfort
selected, the system controls the air
distribution, flow, temperature and
intake of air in order to guarantee com-
fort and an adequate circulation of air
in the passenger compartment. You do
not have to make any adjustments.
The
"AUTO" symbol is displayed.
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.
1 - Driver's automatic comfort programme
2 - Passenger automatic comfort programme
This is the usual air conditioning sys-
tem operating mode.
When the engine is cold, to
prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level
progressively.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
conditioning will use its maximum per-
formance settings to correct the tem-
perature difference as quickly as pos-
sible.

ing manoeuvres in reverse gear.
Initial setting of the function
 Engage reverse gear.
 Select and adjust the left and right
mirrors in succession.
These settings will be stored when the
vehicle is locked. The end of the driver and
passenger mirrors is convex
in order to reduce the "blind
spot" (area at edge defined by
a dotted line).
As a result, objects observed in
the driver and passenger mirrors are,
in reality, closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to
judge correctly the distance of vehi-
cles approaching from behind.
Tilting the mirror to the parking
position

Turn control A to the right or to the
left.
 Engage reverse gear.
The exterior mirror corresponding to the side on which you are park-
