operate in all seasons. In summer it
allows the temperature to be reduced
and in winter, above 0°C, it increases
the effectiveness of the demisting.
2 Temperature adjustment
To be adjusted according to your
requirements: from blue (cold when
the air conditioning is on) to red
(hot).

3 Setting the air
distribution
Windscreen and side windows
(deicing/demisting).

– press the A/C button.
Windscreen and side win
dows, central and side vents
and footwells.
Central and side vents and
footwells.
These settings are recommended for
cold climates.
Central and side vents.
This setting is recommended for hot
climates. 4 Air flow adjustment
Turn the knob to obtain sufficient
flow.
5 Air intake control
Recirculation of the interior air (indi
cator light on).
This position prevents the entry of
unpleasant odours or fumes from
outside and increases the speed of
heating.
Used simultaneously with the air
conditioning, recirculation improves
the performance of the system when
set to hot as well as to cold.
Used in humid conditions, recircula
tion risks misting up the windows.
As soon as possible, place the con
trol in the outside air position. 6 Demisting the rear
screen
With the engine running, pressing
the switch demists the rear screen
and the mirrors.
It switches off automatically after
approximately fifteen minutes.
Press again to resume demisting.
It is possible to stop the demisting
operation before it goes off automat
ically, by pressing the switch again.
Important precaution
Operate the air conditioning for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold
air, do not use it and contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.
Note: The condensation created by
the air conditioning causes a normal
flow of water under the vehicle when
stationary.
