- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

MIRRORS
Exterior mirrors
These are divided into two zones:
A - Upper mirror
B - Lower mirror
The mirror glass is spherical in order to
widen the lateral field of vision. Objects
seen in the mirror are in reality closer than
they appear. Therefore, this must be taken
into account in order to assess the distance
correctly.
The shell incorporates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to
the equipment available on board (GPS,
GSM, Radio, ...). Electrical controls

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child’s body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent. Disarm the passenger air bag when a "rear
facing" child seat is installed on the front
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child’s shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock". Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows. 115
