armrest, to lock it in the desired position.
Heated seat

Use this control to switch the heating of the seat
on or off.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–


Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–


Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–


Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.

Mirrors
Door mirrors

They are divided into two zones:
A - Upper mirror
B - Lower mirror
The mirrors are spherical in shape to widen the
lateral field of vision. The objects that you see in
the mirrors are in fact closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to correctly
assess the distance.
The shell integrates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to the
equipment available on board (GPS, GSM,
Radio, etc.).
Electric adjustments
The ignition key must be in MAR position.

► Turn the control to select the mirror zone.
Left-hand door mirror:
A1 -Upper mirror
B1 - Lower mirror
Right-hand door mirror:
A2 - Upper mirror
B2 - Lower mirror

Heating and Ventilation
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.
Contains the fluorinated greenhouse
gas R134A
Depending on version and country of sale,
the air conditioning system may contain
fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A.
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.

Ease of use and comfort
Electric vehicles
To heat the passenger compartment, you
must use the control panel located next to the
steering wheel.
For more information, refer to the Heating
(Electric) section.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode is only operational
when the engine is running.
The air blower must be set to at least 1.
►

Press button
1 to activate/deactivate the
air conditioning system (confirmed by the LED
coming on/going out).
Temperature
► Turn knob 2 to select a position between blue
(cold) and red (warm).
Air flow
► Set control 3 to the desired position to obtain
the necessary air flow for your comfort.
If the air flow control is in
position 0 (system deactivated), thermal
comfort is no longer managed. A slight flow of
air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
Air distribution
The distribution of incoming air is directed by
turning the control towards:
the side vents and central vents,
the side vents, central vents and
footwells,
the footwells,
the windscreen, footwells and side
windows,
the windscreen and side windows.
Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
Used simultaneously with the air conditioning
switched on and the setting for the blown air
strength (from 1 to 4), recirculation makes it
possible to achieve the desired ambient air
comfort for both hot and cold settings.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.
► Put the control in this position to
activate interior air recirculation.
► Put the control in this position to
restore exterior air intake.

AUTO mode
Switching on FULL AUTO:
► Press control 1. This turns on the system
functions, confirmed by the FULL AUTO display.

37
Ease of use and comfort
3This is the normal operating mode for the
automatic air conditioning system.
–
Using the moving ring surrounding the
AUTO
control, adjust the comfort temperature to be
reached according to a scale between: •

HI (High up to ≈32) and
•


LO (Low until ≈16).
The system manages the air distribution, flow
and intake to ensure the comfort equivalent
to the graduation displayed and sufficient air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Customisable AUTO mode
In AUTO mode, some settings can be changed:
distribution, air flow, air conditioning and air
intake/recirculation.
The display changes from FULL AUTO to
AUTO.
►

T
o return to fully automatic operation, press
button 1 again. The control panel display
changes from AUTO to
FULL AUTO.
If after manual adjustments, the system cannot
maintain the selected graduation, this will flash
and AUTO will then go out. Press control 1 to
return to the automatic settings.
Air conditioning off
► Press button 2 to switch off the air
conditioning functions. The snowflake goes out
on the display.
Complete switch-off
► Press button 3 to switch off the system. The
LED and the display go out.
Temperature
The scale is between:
– a rise in interior air temperature HI (High),
which heats up to a maximum graduation of 32,
–

a cooling of interior air temperature LO (Low),
which decreases to a graduation

of 16.
Air distribution
► Press one of the buttons 4 to direct the air
flow towards:
the windscreen and front side window
vents (demisting - defrosting windows),
the central and side vents (chest and
face),
the diffusers of the front and rear zones
(footwells).
Combining buttons makes it possible to refine
the air distribution.
Air flow
► Press one of the buttons 5 to increase or
decrease the air flow.
Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
This function allows hot or cold air to be delivered selectively and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.
►

Press button
6 to activate interior air
recirculation. The indicator lamp comes on.
Pressing this button again restores exterior air
intake. The indicator lamp goes off.
Pressing button 1 also restores exterior
air intake. Returning to this position
allows the air in the passenger compartment
to be renewed and demisting. Pressing button
1
again restores the FULL AUTO function.
Heating (Electric)
A thermostatic control panel is used to heat
the passenger compartment, in addition to the
standard controls located on the central console.
The control panel is located next to the steering
wheel, below the MODE control panel.
