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 main-
tenance 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.
P l a c e t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l a t a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l t o p r o v i d e a n a d e q u a t e r e -
newal of air in the passenger compartment.
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grille located on the bonnet, the vents and the a ir passages under
the front seats.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of th e passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
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.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning system can only operate when the engine is running.
1. Temperature adjustment
Turn the dial from blue (cold) to red
(hot) to adjust the temperature to
suit your requirements.
2 . A i r fl o w a d j u s t m e n t 3. Air distribution adjustment 4. Air intake/Air recirculation
Windscreen and side windows.
Windscreen, side windows and
footwells.
Footwells.
These settings are recommended for
cold climates. Central and side vents.
This setting is recommended for hot
climates.
Move the manual control to
t h e l e f t t o r e t u r n t o t h e " E x -
t e r i o r a i r i n t a k e " p o s i t i o n .
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of condensation on the wind-
screen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air prevents
exterior odours and smoke from enter-
ing the passenger compartment.
Used simultaneously with the air condi-
tioning, the air recirculation improves its
performance.
Used in a damp climate, the air recircu-
lation may cause condensation to form
on the windows.
Return to exterior air intake mode as
soon as possible to avoid deterioration
of the air quality and prevent condensa-
tion.
Move the manual control to
t h e r i g h t t o t h e " I n t e r i o r a i r

eration before it is switched off au-
tomatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator light associated
with the button switches off.
If the engine is switched off before the
de-icing is switched off automatically,
de-icing will resume next time the en-

Switch off the de-icing of the rear
screen as soon as you consider this
necessary as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced fuel
consumption. The control button is located on
the air conditioning system con-
trol panel.
The air conditioning is designed
to operate effectively in all sea-
sons, with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the de- misting, in winter above 0 °C.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
1. Automatic comfort programme
Automatic operation
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
3. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort programme may
n o t b e s u f fi c i e n t t o q u i c k l y d e m i s t o r d e -
ice the windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice...).
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
a i r fl o w w i l l o n l y r e a c h i t s o p t i m u m l e v e l
gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribu-
tion of warm air to the windscreen, the
side windows and the footwells only.
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine ru
nning.
Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol is dis-
played.
Press the arrows 1 (up and
down) to change this value.
A setting around 21 enables
you to obtain an optimum level
of comfort. Depending on your require-
ments, a setting between 18 and 24 is
usual.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no need
to alter the value displayed in order to
obtain the required level of comfort. The
system eliminates the temperature dif-
ference automatically and as quickly as
possible.
In this case, select the auto-
matic visibility programme.
The system automatically con-
trols the air conditioning, the
a i r fl o w a n d t h e a i r i n t a k e a n d p r o v i d e s
