Intake of exterior air Recommended settings
For optimum operation of the manual system, the se ttings below are recommended:
The diode on the button is off.
This is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air The diode on the button is lit.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and setting of the force of blown air (from 1
to 4), recirculation enables you to obtain
the required ambient air comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operating mode is preferable.

Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Avoid prolonged operation
in interior air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Air distribution
Pressing this button several times
in succession directs the air flow

Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:
- when the button is pressed,
- when the engine is switched off,
- automatically to prevent excessive energy consumption. Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickly demist or de-ice the
windows (humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibility programme indicator light
comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air flow,
the de-icing of the rear screen and provides
optimum distribution of the ventilation to the

CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
Passenger compartment filter,
carbon filter
Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6. Air conditioning
In all seasons, if fitted on your vehicle, 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.
If your vehicle is fitted with automatic
air conditioning, use the AUTO
mode as much as possible as it permits
optimised control of all of the functions:
air flow, passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air intake
mode or air recirculation in the passenger
compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
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 consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
