The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance rules below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, do not hesitate t o ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air flow control at a sufficient level t o provide an adequate
renewal of air in the passenger compartment.

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compa rtment fi lter. Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and gre asy deposits).

 To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning syste m, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engi ne power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

5. Air conditioning On/Off The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed. The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel. REAR SCREEN DE-ICING

 Switch off the de-icing of the
rear screen and exterior mir-
rors as soon as you consider
this necessary as lower current
consumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before
the de-icing is switched off auto-
matically, de-icing will resume next
time the engine is switched on.
Switching on
The rear screen de-icing can only operate
when the engine is running.

 Press this button to de-ice the rear
screen and the exterior mirrors. The
indicator light associated with the
button comes on.
Switching off
The de-icing switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of
current.

 It is possible to stop the de-icing
operation before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator light associated
with the button switches off.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting, in winter above 0 °C.
Switching on

 Press the "A/C" button, the asso-
ciated indicator light comes on.

The air conditioning does not operate

When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will only reach its opti-
mum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, the side windows and the
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to alter the value
displayed in order to obtain the re-
quired level of comfort. The system eliminates the temperature difference automatically and as quickly as
possible.
The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.

The driver and his front passen-
ger can each set the temperature
to suit their requirements.

 Turn dial 2 or 3 to the left to reduce
the value or to the right to increase it.
A setting around 21 enables you to obtain
an optimum level of comfort. Depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left/right setting difference of
more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or de-ice the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice...).

 In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol is dis-
played. 2. Driver’s side adjustment DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend that you use this mode:
it provides optimised automatic control of
all of the functions, passenger compart-
ment temperature, air fl ow, air distribution
and air recirculation, in accordance with
the comfort value that you have selected.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
