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.

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, deactivate it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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.

COMFORT

the heating or air conditioning
system control panel.
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 before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off auto-
matically, demisting/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 demisting/
defrosting operation before it
is switched off automatically by
pressing 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 in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required. The system cor-
rects the difference in temperature
automatically 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.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIRCONDITIONING

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 win-
dows 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.
