warnings) and the service information.
 With the engine running, to start a manual check, briefl y press
the "CHECK/000" button on the
instrument panel. If no faults have been detected,
"CHECK

COMFORT
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on opera-
tion and maintenance below:
 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterio\
r air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the v\
ents
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 minutes, once or twic\
e a month to keep it in perfect working order.
 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
 We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger \
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).
 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 qualifi ed workshop.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, installing the windstop and using the
"AIRWAVE" systems improves comfort.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engine power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity. If the interior temperature remains
very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable
time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suf-
fi cient level to provide an adequate
renewal of air in the passenger com-
partment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is ru\
n-
ning. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,
you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the corresp\
ond-
ing section).

COMFORT
The control button is located
on the heating or air condition-
ing system control panel.
REAR SCREEN DEMIST - DEFROST
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.
 Press this button to demist/defrost the rear screen and (depending on
version) the door mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp associated with the but-
ton comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.
 It is possible to stop the demisting/de-frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button switches off.
If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off au-
tomatically, demisting/defrosting will re-
sume next time the engine is switched on.
 Switch off the demisting/de-frosting of the rear screen and
door mirrors as soon as ap-
propriate as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
The demist/defrost is deactivated
when the retractable roof is stored
in the boot.
