6. Demisting the rear screen and the mirrors
Pressing the button once
demists the rear screen
and the exterior mirrors.
This switches off automati-
cally to prevent an exces-
sive consumption of current.
Pressing again reactivates demisting.
It is possible to stop demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again. In certain cases of particu-
larly arduous use (towing the
maximum load on a steep
gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
In order for the air conditioning to be
fully effective, the windows must be
closed.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger 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 produced by the air con-
ditioning condensation is discharged
through an opening provided for this
purpose. Therefore, a puddle of wa-
ter may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In order to ensure that the air condi-
tioning system operates correctly, reg-
ular checks are also recommended.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
5. Air intake/Air recirculation
Pressing button 5 permits
recirculation of the interior
air. This is indicated by il-
lumination of the indicator
light.
As soon as possible, press button

5 again to permit the intake of out-
side air, to prevent deterioration of
the air quality and to avoid misting of
the windows. This is indicated by the
switching off of the indicator light.
The interior air recirculation enables
you to isolate the passenger com-
partment from exterior odours and
smoke.
The outside air intake enables you to
prevent and eliminate misting of the
windscreen and side windows.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, air recirculation enables
performance to be improved.
Used in a humid climate, air recir-
culation may result in misting of the
windows.
Rapid demisting of the wind-
screen
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- place the air distribution control in the "windscreen and side win-
dows" position,
- place the temperature 2 and air
l ow 3 controls at maximum, as
indicated by the "Windscreen
and side windows" symbol on the
control panel,
- close the centre vents,
- switch air intake button 5 to the
"Outside Air Intake" position (but-
ton 5 indicator light off),
- start the air conditioning by press- ing button 1 .

quired.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation 9. Demisting the rear screen and
the mirrors
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
The air recirculation symbol

8 is displayed.
Air recirculation enables the
passenger compartment to be isolat-
ed from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of inte-
rior air (risk of condensation and de-
terioration of the air quality).
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent condensation.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
Press this button to demist
the rear screen and the ex-
terior mirrors. The button
9
indicator light comes on.
Demisting switches off au-
tomatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current. It is possible
to stop operation of the demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again.

10. Switching the system off
Press the "small fan" button of the
air l ow 7 until the fan symbol disap-
pears.
This action switches off all of the
functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem, with the exception of the demist-
ing of the rear screen 9 .
Temperature related comfort is no
longer guaranteed but a slight l ow of
air, due to the movement of the ve-
hicle, can still be felt.
Pressing the "large fan" button of
the air l ow 7 again or the AUTO but-
ton reactivates the system with the
values set before it was switched off.
