Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu or
are grouped together in the control panel on the
centre console.

Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order
.
►

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, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air 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.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual air conditioning
The manual air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.

►

Press one of the buttons
1 to increase or
decrease the air flow.
The value displayed corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference
between the left and right setting of more than 3.
Automatic comfort programme
► Press the button 5 to activate/deactivate the
automatic mode of the air conditioning system.
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 depending on
the comfort level you have selected.
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.
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.
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.
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 automatically corrects the
temperature difference.
Manual control
You can manually adjust one or more settings,
while retaining automatic control of the other
functions:
–

air flow
,
–

air distribution.

Foglamps
In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the rear
foglamps are prohibited. In these situations,
the power of their beams may dazzle other
drivers. They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps and
dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect sufficient light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Rear foglamp
It only works if the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.


► Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn
it on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("
AUTO" position), the foglamp is switched off.
Front foglamps/Rear
foglamps
They operate with the sidelamps, dipped or main beam headlamps on.


► Rotate the ring forwards:
• once to switch on the front foglamps,
•

a second time to switch on the rear
foglamps.
►


Rotate
the ring backwards:
•

once to switch off the rear foglamps,
•


a second time to switch off the front
foglamps.
If the lighting is switched off automatically (with
AUT

O model) or the dipped beam headlamps
are switched off manually, the foglamps and
sidelamps remain on.
►

Rotate the ring backwards to switch the
foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the glass
of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
Travelling abroad
Halogen headlamps
If using your vehicle in a country that drives
on the other side of the road to the one in
which your vehicle was sold, the headlamps
must be adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
LED lamps
The design of the front LED headlamps
allows driving without modification in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road to the country in which your vehicle was
sold.
Switching off the lights when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lights
turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam if automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.

Lighting and visibility
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Automatic headlamp dipping
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position and the
function is activated on the touch screen, this
system automatically switches between dipped
and main beam headlamps depending on light
and traffic conditions, using a camera located at
the top of the windscreen.


This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps come on on the instrument
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►

A
"headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•

if the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam,
•

if the "AUT
O" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
– under conditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
– vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
