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 fromoutside and increases the speed ofheating. Used simultaneously with the air conditioning, recirculation improvesthe performance of the system whenset to hot as well as to cold. Used in humid conditions, recircula- tion risks misting up the windows. As soon as possible, place the control in the outside air position. 6 - Demisting the rear
screen
With the engine running, pressingthe switch demists the rear screenand 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.
