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

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the o

If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been

of air in the passenger compartment.
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.
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air
recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic 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.

breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of th e passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and gre asy deposits).
The air conditioning uses power from the engine w hile operating. This results
in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in h igh ambi-
ent temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves eng ine power and
so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a d ischarge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, 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.
