Electrochrome interior rear
view mirror
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which
darkens the mirror glass and reduces the
nuisance to the driver caused by the sun,
headlamps of other vehicles, etc.




The electrochrome system uses a sensor that
detects the level of exterior brightness and that
coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to
automatically and gradually switch between day
and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while manoeuvring, the mirror automatically
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the
boot exceeds the height of the load space

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Intensive use of the air conditioning
reduces the vehicle range in Electric mode.
Ventilation with the ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, the ventilation
system and the air flow 2 and air distribution
3 settings in the passenger compartment are
activated, for a period which depends on the
battery charge.
This function does not include the air
conditioning system.
Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
This system automatically controls the activation
of the air conditioning system, regulating the
temperature, air flow and air distribution inside
the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system operates with
the engine running, but the ventilation and its
controls can be accessed with the ignition on.
Press the Climate menu button to display
the system controls page.

Air distribution

1.Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
2. Front side window demisting/de-icing 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 and closable 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 good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large 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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
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
system, refer to the corresponding
section.
Eco driving mode
Selection of this mode optimises fuel
consumption, but limits the performance
of the heating and air conditioning, without
however deactivating them.

It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.

Ease of use and comfort
When the system is activated, the indicator lamp
in the button comes on.
Air conditioning does not operate when the air flow is deactivated.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates
interior air recirculation.
► Press button 6 to activate/deactivate the
function (the indicator lamp will come on/switch
off).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
Mono-zone/Dual-zone
The passenger temperature setting can be linked
to the driver's setting (mono-zone function).
It is available in the secondary page which can
be accessed via the " OPTIONS" button.
► Press button 8 to activate the "MONO"
function; its status is displayed as " ON".
"OPTIONS" button to select one of the available
settings:
–
"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.
To change the current setting (shown by the
corresponding indicator lamp), press button

9

repeatedly until the desired setting is displayed.
To ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour "Normal" and "Fast" settings.
This setting is associated with automatic mode
only. However, on deactivation of
AUTO mode,
the indicator lamp for the most recently selected
setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if it was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5
°C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using the " OPTIONS" button,
then press button 10.
Manual control
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
of these functions, while the system retains
automatic control of the other functions:

To avoid the risk of poisoning or asphyxia, the programmable heating
must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)
- Risk of fire!
Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
Temperature pre-conditioning
(Rechargeable hybrid)
This function allows you to programme the
temperature in the passenger compartment to
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature
(approx. 21°C) before you enter the vehicle, on
the days and at the times of your choice.
This function is available when the vehicle is
connected or not connected.

programmed time when the vehicle is connected
(20 minutes when it is not connected) and is
maintained for 10 minutes after.




This indicator lamp comes on fixed when
a temperature pre-conditioning cycle is
programmed. It flashes when temperature pre-
conditioning is in progress.
You can set multiple programmes. Each one is saved in the system.
To optimise the driving range, we recommend
starting a programme while the vehicle is
connected.
Programming can also be carried out
from a smartphone using the
MYPEUGEOT APP application.
With PEUGEOT Connect Radio, programming
can only be carried out from a smartphone using
the application.
