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").
