Energy load
Load reduction mode
Principle
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Economy mode
Principle
System which manages the period of use of
certain functions to maintain an adequate state
of charge of the battery.
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum cumulative period of around
30 minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematic system, the
wipers, dipped beam, courtesy lamps, ...
Entry into the mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message
advising the entry into energy economy mode
appears in the screen and the active functions
on put on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at this time,
the connection via the audio system's hands-
free function will be maintained for around
10 minutes.
Coming out of the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and allow it run
for at least five minutes.
The engine will not start if the battery is
discharged.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air intake flow
The incoming air follows various paths
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on the control panel on the centre
console.
General points
Air distribution
The incoming air is distributed via various
outlets:
- windscreen demisting-defrosting vents,
- front side window demisting-defrosting
vents,
- side adjustable air vents,
- central adjustable air vents,
- air outlets to the front footwells,
- air outlets to the rear footwells.

In order for the ventilation and air conditioning to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F The air conditioning system only works with the engine running.
F Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Advice
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it
twice as often if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule.
