2The rear electric windows can still be controlled
using the driver's controls.
In the event of a serious impact, use of
the rear electric window controls is
re-enabled, if they had been deactivated.
Reinitialising the electric
windows
Following reconnection of the battery, or if
the windows move abnormally, the anti-pinch
function must be reinitialised.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active
during these operations.
For each of the windows:
►

Lower the window fully
, then raise it; it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the
window is fully closed.
►

Continue to pull the switch for at least
one second after reaching the window closed
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this, press
the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers’
electric window switches, it is important to
ensure that nothing can prevent the window
from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing the windows using
the electronic key or the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system.
Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
►

enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45
seconds after
turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof when driving - risk of serious
injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars does not
interfere with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a shower
or washing the vehicle, wait until it is
completely dry before opening.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Check the condition of the sunroof seals
regularly (presence of dust or deposits,
dead leaves, etc.).
If using a car wash, check that the roof is
correctly closed in advance and keep the
tip of the high-pressure lance at least 30
centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.

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 " Air conditioning" touch
screen menu or are grouped together in the
control panel on the centre console.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5.Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable air vents
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!

49
Ease of use and comfort
3If 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.
