the weather conditions.
Change the temperature setting pro-
gressively for greater comfort.
Place the air intake control in the
"Exterior air" position, this facilitates
demisting.
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a long period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
To obtain a perfectly uniform distribu-
tion of air, do not cover the exterior
air intake grille, the vents, the air pas-
sages and the air outlets in the foot-
wells. In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in a high temper-
ature), cutting off the air conditioning
permits recovery of the engine power
and, therefore improvement of the
towing capacity.
Ensure that the passenger com-

replaced regularly. If you drive in a
dusty environment, change them
twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water formed by the condensa-
tion of the air conditioning system is
discharged via an opening provided
for this purpose. Therefore, a pud-
dle may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
De-icing the rear screen and
mirrors
When the engine is running,
pressing this button de-ices
the rear screen and exterior
mirrors.
It switches off automatically, after approximately twelve minutes,
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current. Pressing the button again
restarts operation for twelve minutes.
It is possible to stop the operation of
the de-icing before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again.
Switch off the de-icing as soon as
you consider this necessary as low
current consumption reduces fuel
consumption. Manual demisting
