Entry of outside air This is the normal operating position. Recirculation of interior air This position prevents the
entry of outside air. Used at the same time as the
air conditioning, this will improve air conditioning performance. Used on its own, it prevents the entry of outside air (dust, unpleasantodours) but there is a risk of misting ofthe windows.
Avoid continuous operation in interior air recirculation mode. Important precautions: Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice amonth to keep it in good working
order. It is advisable to change the air condi- tioning system fluid every two years.
If the system is not producing cold air, stop using it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

543 - Adjusting the air distribution
To direct the hot or cold air, turn the knob 3to the desired position.
This provides optimum comfort as well as dehumidifying the air inside the vehicle.
In particular, it allows the temperature to be lowered in summer and the effective-
ness of the demisting to be increased in winter. 1 - Switching onPress the switch 1, the operating light will come on.
2 - Adjusting the temperature:
Turn the knob 2to the blue zone (cold) or to the red zone (hot).
On positioning the knob in the white zone the system automatically controls the ope-
ration of the air conditioning. This ensures a comfortable temperature whatever the climatic conditions may be.

4 - Adjusting the air flow
In the AUTO position the flow is controlled automatically in accordancewith the temperature selected.
You can, however, adjust the flow manually by turning the knob 4accor-
ding to the desired flow.
In AUTO mode, this automatically adjusts the temperature inside thevehicle according to your wishes (pre-
set temperature). To do this, the elec-tronic control unit adjusts the tempe-rature and the flow of air at the ventsand operates the air conditioning
system if necessary. 5 - Recirculation of interior air Press the switch 5, the indicator light
comes on.The air conditioning comes into ope-
ration automatically. This position must only be used in exceptional circumstances to:
- improve the performance of the air conditioning,
- prevent the entry of external air (dust, unpleasant odours),
- speed up heating inside the vehicle with a risk of misting of the windows. Special features If the air distribution control is in the windscreen de-icing position, the airconditioning system will start opera-ting automatically when the engine isswitched on.
If the air flow control is in the AUTO position, and air recirculation is selec-ted, air conditioning will start automa-tically in order to prevent condensa-tion on the windows. When you switch on the ignition, the air conditioning will automaticallyreturn to the operating mode it was inwhen it was last used. If the inside
temperature is greatly different fromthe required temperature displayedand the outside temperature is above5 ¡C the air conditioning will switch onautomatically regardless of the posi-tion of the air flow control. When the ignition is switched on, if the system had been in air recirculationmode, the system will automaticallyallow entry of outside air unless thetemperature inside the vehicle is over30 ¡C.
Important precautions Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice amonth to keep it in good working
order. It is advisable to change the air condi- tioning system fluid every 2 years.
If the system is not producing cold air, stop using it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
