Heating and Ventilation
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Controls
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver, the front passenger and rear passengers, according to the level of equipment. The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you to select the air vents used in the passenger compar tment by the combined use of the
associated buttons. The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation fan. These controls are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follo w the operation and maintenance guidelines below:
 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passeng er compartment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compar tment.  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, 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 prol onged use of the air recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the d ashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minut es, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.  Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" secti on). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compa rtment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanli ness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).  The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly 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 or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditionin g
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

Checks
Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, par ticularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the replacement inter vals for these components. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y (refer to the "Engines" section). A dir ty passenger compar tment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the replacement inter val for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in par ticular with the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting the battery. Failure to obser ve this recommendation may shor ten the life of the battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Display of this warning lamp or a specific message, together with the ser vice warning lamp, indicates the start of saturation of the particle filter or low level in the Diesel additive reser voir.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the ser vice warning lamp goes off. If the ser vice warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level. Have the additive reser voir topped up and the par ticle emission filter ser viced by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
