VENTILATION Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning). The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to increase
or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel

The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines 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 at least 5 to 10 mi nutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in good working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

 We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter .
Thanks to its special active treatment, it contributes to the p urifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the p assenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked as recommended in the Warranty and Main te-
nance Record.

 If the system does not produce cold air, deactivate it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, the performance of the air conditioning system
may be reduced. However, installing the windstop improves comfo rt.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available e ngine power and so
improves towing performance.
If after a prolonged stop in sunshine the interior temperat ure is high, fi rst ven-
tilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.
Set the air blower control fast enough to quickly change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

5. Air conditioning On/Off The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed. The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel. REAR SCREEN DEMIST/
DEFROST
 Switch off the demist/defrost of
the rear screen and door mir-
rors as soon as it is no longer
needed as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before the
demist/defrost is switched off auto-
matically, demist/defrost will resume
next time the engine is switched on.
The demist/defrost is deactivated
when the retractable roof is stored in
the boot.
Switching on
The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.

 Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the exterior mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.
Switching off
The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.

 It is possible to stop the demist/de-
frost operation before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button switches off.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting, in winter above 0 °C.
Switching on

 Press the "A/C" button, the associ-
ated indicator lamp comes on.

The air conditioning does not operate
when the air fl ow adjustment dial 2 is
in position "0".
Switching off

 Press the "A/C" button again, the as-
sociated indicator lamp switches off.
