The air conditioning only operates
when the engine is running. When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
air l ow will reach its optimum level
gradually.
The driver and his front
passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their re-
quirements.
The value indicated on the
display corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal. For optimum comfort, you are ad-
vised to avoid a left/right setting dif-
ference of more than 3.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to go below the value 15 by turning un-
til
"LO" is displayed or above the value
27 by turning until "HI" is displayed.
4. Automatic visibility programme The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suf-
i cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windscreen and
side windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic vis-
ibility programme.
The system automatically controls
the air conditioning, the air l ow and
the air intake and provides optimum
distribution of the ventilation to the
windscreen and side windows.
To switch it off, press button 4 again
or press the "AUTO" button, the
button"s indicator light switches off
and "AUTO" is displayed.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol is dis-
played.
We recommend the use of
this mode: it permits auto-
matic and optimised adjustment of
all of the functions, passenger com-
partment temperature, air l ow, air
distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen. This system is
designed to operate effectively in all
seasons, with the windows closed.
2. Driver's side adjustment
3. Passenger side adjustment On entering the vehicle, if
the interior temperature is
much colder or warmer than
the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed
in order to obtain the comfort re-
quired. The system corrects the dif-
ference in temperature automatically
and as quickly as possible.

COMFORT
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the sys-
tem by changing a setting. The other
functions will still be controlled auto-
matically. Pressing the "AUTO" but-
ton returns the system to completely
automatic operation.
Press this button to stop air
cooling.
Avoid prolonged use of this
mode (risk of condensation,
odour, humidity).
Press this button again as soon as
possible to return to automatic op-
eration of the air conditioning. The
symbol "A/C" is displayed.
6. Air distribution adjustment Pressing this button sev-
eral times in succession
enables the air l ow to be
directed in turn towards:
- the windscreen and side windows (de-icing or demisting),
- the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells,
- the footwells,
- the centre vents, the side vents and the footwells,
- the centre and side vents. 7. Air l ow adjustment
Press the
"small fan" or "large fan"
button respectively to decrease or in-
crease the l ow of air.
The air l ow symbol, the fan, i lls pro-
gressively in relation to the value re-
quired.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation 9. Demisting the rear screen and
the mirrors
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
The air recirculation symbol

8 is displayed.
Air recirculation enables the
passenger compartment to be isolat-
ed from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of inte-
rior air (risk of condensation and de-
terioration of the air quality).
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent condensation.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
Press this button to demist
the rear screen and the ex-
terior mirrors. The button
9
indicator light comes on.
Demisting switches off au-
tomatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current. It is possible
to stop operation of the demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again.

10. Switching the system off
Press the "small fan" button of the
air l ow 7 until the fan symbol disap-
pears.
This action switches off all of the
functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem, with the exception of the demist-
ing of the rear screen 9 .
Temperature related comfort is no
longer guaranteed but a slight l ow of
air, due to the movement of the ve-
hicle, can still be felt.
Pressing the "large fan" button of
the air l ow 7 again or the AUTO but-
ton reactivates the system with the
values set before it was switched off.

In certain cases of particu-
larly arduous use (towing the
maximum load on a steep
gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
In order for the air conditioning to be
fully effective, the windows must be
closed.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to
keep it in good working order.
The water produced by the air con-
ditioning condensation is discharged
through an opening provided for this
purpose. Therefore, a puddle of wa-
ter may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In order to ensure that the air condi-
tioning system operates correctly, reg-
ular checks are also recommended.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

MIRRORS
Move the lever in all four directions
to adjust.
When the vehicle is parked, the ex-
terior mirrors can be folded back
manually.
The exterior mirror on the
driver"s side is convex (out-
er edge dei ned by a dotted
line) in order to eliminate the
"blind spot".
As a result, objects observed in the
driver"s and passenger"s mirrors are
in reality closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to
correctly judge the distance of vehi-
cles approaching from behind.

This automatically and gradually
changes between the day and night
positions. To prevent dazzling, the
glass of the mirror darkens auto-
