Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature
remains very high after
a prolonged period parked in the
s u n , fi r s t v e n t i l a t e t h e p a s s e n g e r
compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the outside
air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger
c o m p a r t m e n t fi l t e r , l o c a t e d b e l o w
the windscreen, in the engine
compartment, is in good condition.
H a v e t h e fi l t e r e l e m e n t s r e p l a c e d
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
In order to ensure that your air
conditioning system continues to
operate correctly, you are advised to
have it checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
c o n d i t i o n i n g r e s u l t s i n a fl o w o f w a t e r
under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact
a P E U G E O T d e a l e r o r a q u a l i fi e d
workshop.

5. Air outlets to the footwells.

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

The recirculation of interior
air (control 4 to the left)
enables you to isolate the
passenger compartment
from exterior odours and
smoke. 5. Air distribution adjustment

The air distribution can be
adjusted by placing the

Diffusion grille and side
vents. 6. Rear screen demisting
As soon as possible, move control 4
to the right to the "Intake of exterior
air" position to avoid the risks of
deterioration of the air quality and
misting of the windscreen and side
windows. The intake of exterior air
(control
4 to the right) enables
you to prevent and eliminate
misting of the windscreen and
side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indicator
lamp comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing button 6
again.
In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider
this necessary as a lower
consumption of current
reduces fuel consumption.
Demisting and defrosting
To quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows:
- set the air distribution to "Windscreen and side windows",
- place the temperature control 2
a n d t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l 3 at
maximum,
- close the side vents,
- place the air intake control 4 in
the "Air intake" position,
- switch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1 .

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
FRONT AIRBAGS
Front airbag fault Flashing indicates an airbag
fault, contact a PEUGEOT
d e a l e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p
to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact
Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the
a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle. The airbags are
not deployed in the case of minor
impacts, rear impacts or in certain
roll-over conditions. The seat belt
i s s u f fi c i e n t t o e n s u r e m a x i m u m
protection in these situations. The
seriousness of a collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on. When they
are deployed, a noise is heard
d u r i n g i n fl a t i o n .
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
w o r k i n c o n j u n c t i o n w i t h t h e f o r c e -
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle
in the impact detection zones (see

dashboard for the front passenger. They
are deployed simultaneously, except in
cases where the passenger's airbag is

the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and
