230 V / 50 Hz power socket
A 230 V / 50 Hz socket (maximum power: 120 W) is fitted in the rear storage box. This socket works with the engine running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.  Open the central storage box,  Check that the warning lamp is on green,  Connect your multimedia or other electrical device (telephone charger, laptop computer, CD-DVD player, baby food warmer...).
In the event of a fault with the socket, the green warning lamp flashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Connect only one device at a time to the socket (no extension or multi-way connector). Connect only devices with class II insulation (shown on the device). Do not use a device with a metal case. As a safety measure, when electrical consumption is high and when required
by the vehicle's electrical system (particular weather conditions, electrical overload...), the current supply to the socket will be cut off; the green warning lamp goes off.
The different "ports and sockets" can be either not available, an option or standard, depending on the trim level of the vehicle.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:  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.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.  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.  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).  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.  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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 per fectly normal.
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.
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).

 Press one of these buttons to increase the value.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit (depending on the units chosen).

In addition, it is recommended that you avoid a difference between the left and right setting of
more than 3.

In cold conditions and when the engine is cold, to limit distribution of cold air in the passenger compartment, the air flow will change gradually until the comfort setting is reached. On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value setting, there is no need to alter the value displayed in order to reach more quickly the required level of comfort. The system compensates automatically and corrects the temperature difference as quickly as possible.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode, the indicator for the last setting remains on. Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO mode if deactivated. When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the air conditioning system operates automatically: the system manages the temperature, air flow and air distribution in the passenger compartment in an optimum way according to the comfort level you have selected.
 Press the "AUTO" button to activate or deactivate the automatic mode of the air conditioning system.
Automatic comfort
programme
To change the current setting, shown by the green indicator lamp, press the button for the desired mode:
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by limiting air flow.
"Normal": offers the best compromise between a comfortable temperature and quiet operation (default setting).
"Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
It is possible to modulate the intensity of the automatic comfort programme by choosing one of three mode settings offered in a secondary page of the " Air conditioning " menu.
