COMFORT

If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few mo-
ments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting
high enough to quickly change the
air in the passenger compartment.
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 operation and main-
tenance guidelines below:


)
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.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the digital air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition 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 additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability.
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.



Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see "Driving").

longer maintained at a comfort-
able level. However, a slight
fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen and
side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon
as possible to prevent deterioration of
the the air quality and the formation of
mist.


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on to
confi rm this.

)
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp switches off to confi rm this.



5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).

Switching on

REAR SCREEN DEMIST -
DEFROST


)
Switch off the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off be-
fore the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, demist-
ing/defrosting will resume next time
the engine is switched on.

Switching on

The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending
on version) the door mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.



Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demist-
ing/defrosting operation before it is
switched off automatically by press-
ing the button again. The indicator
lamp associated with the button
switches off.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells
only. On entering the vehicle, if the inte-
rior temperature is much colder or
warmer than the comfort value, there
is no need to change the value dis-
played in order to obtain the comfort
required. The system corrects the
difference in temperature automati-
cally and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running.
The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).

Automatic operation



)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
2. Driver's side adjustment






DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

To switch it off, press the "visibility"

button again or press the "AUTO"

button, the indicator lamp on the button
switches off and the indicator lamp on
the "AUTO"
button comes on.

CHECKS





























CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record
and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

Battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for de-
tails of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.


Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails 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 necessary
(refer
to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details
of the replacement interval for
this component.






The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and speci-
fi cation, for which the involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop is required when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may shorten the life of the battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the
particle emissions fi lter is in-
dicated by the temporary illu-
mination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the risk of
blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit,
regenerate the fi lter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"Additive level" section.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle
fi lter regeneration operations may
be accompanied by a "burning"
smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
