COMFORT
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation
and maintenance below:
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 dashboard ; this 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.

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

systems improves comfort.
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. If the interior temperature remains
very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable
t i m e , 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

renewal of air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must
be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reductio n in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; when the ambient
temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed w eight.
* The weight of the braked trailer can be incr
eased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount; warning: towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
