CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

WITH MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,
they are located on the fascia panel on the
centre console control panel. Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the blue zone triggers cool air, Air flow
The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4. Remember to adjust
this control in order to reach the
ambient air comfort level. To switch off the
blower, place the control in position 0.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode can only operate
with the engine running. The air blower must be set to at
least 1.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the diode is lit. Pressing the
button again switches the function off and
the diode is switched off. Air distribution

Comfort value adjustment ring
The graduation ranges between:
- increasing of the interior ambient air
temperature HI (High) which heats to a
maximum graduation of 32,
- cooling of the interior ambient air temperature LO (Low) which cools to a
graduation of 16. increase (+) or reduce (-) the force of the
interior air flow.
Air distribution
Pressing lights the diode on the buttons
which distribute the air flow towards: the windscreen and front side
window vents (demisting/de-icing
of the windows),
the central and side vents (chest
and face),
the vents in the front and rear
areas (feet).
The combination of buttons permits
improvement of air distribution. Air flow
Successive presses of this button Intake of exterior air/
recirculation of interior air
When the diode is lit, the air
recirculates inside the passenger
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior
odours and smoke. This position should be
temporary.
When the ambient air comfort level has been
reached, pressing the button switches the
diode off and reopens the exterior air intake.
Pressing the AUTO button also restores
the intake of exterior air. Returning to this
position permits renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing the AUTO button again restores
the FULL AUTO function.
Rapid demisting/de-icing
Pressing this control permits
rapid clearing of the windows.
The diode is lit.
The system manages the air conditioning,
the flow and intake of air, the de-icing of
the rear screen and provides optimum
distribution of the air to the windscreen and
front side windows.
If your vehicle is fitted with additional
heating, please switch it off to guarantee
rapid and effective demisting/de-icing.

MIRRORS
Exterior mirrors
These are divided into two zones:
A - Upper mirror
B - Lower mirror
The mirror glass is spherical in order to
widen the lateral field of vision. Objects
seen in the mirror are in reality closer than
they appear. Therefore, this must be taken
into account in order to assess the distance
correctly.
The shell incorporates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to
the equipment available on board (GPS,
GSM, Radio, ...). Electrical controls
Turn the control to select the mirror zone.
