VENTILATION
DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen: Defrosting the rear screen and
mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
defrosting of the rear screen and
door mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness
of the demisting and defrosting. Do not
obstruct these air outlets.
The pollen filter continuously and effectively
filters dust.
Air recirculation (which can be activated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, normal use is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, first ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons as
it eliminates condensation and air humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under
the vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete
the equipment.

CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Bleeding the water contained in the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
