Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions.

Head-up display

This system projects speed and cruise control/
speed limiter information onto a smoked strip
in the driver's field of vision, so that they do not
need to take their eyes off the road.

Digital air conditioning

After setting the desired level of comfor t, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the exterior climatic conditions.

Advice on interior settings

i
Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun
for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the
passenger compartment.

)
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.

)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.

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

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

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special
active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an
increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.

When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

Comfort
Manual air conditioning











The air conditioning system operates with the engine running.


1. Temperature adjustment



)
Turn the dial from left (cold)
to right (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.



2. Air fl ow adjustment



)
Press the "full fan"
button to
increase the air flow.

)
Press the "empty fan"
button to
reduce the air flow.



3. Air distribution adjustment



)
press the corresponding button for:
Windscreen and side windows.
Central and side vents.
Footwells.
Depending on your requirements, you
can combine two distribution buttons
or select the three distribution modes
simultaneously. According to the value selected, the associated
line of LEDs fills progressively.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation



)
Press this button to recirculate
the interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.

)
Press the button again to
permit the intake of exterior air.
The indicator lamp goes off to
confirm this.
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compar tment from exterior 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.

6. Automatic visibility
programme






5. Air conditioning On/Off

The air conditioning is designed 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 on



)
Press the "A /C "
button, the associated
green indicator lamp comes on.

The air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow adjustment is

set to

off.




Switching off



)
Press the "A /C "
button again,
the associated green indicator lamp
switches off.
Switching off may result in some discomfor t
(humidity, misting).
See "Front demisting - Defrosting".

Comfort





Dual-zone digital air conditioning
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running.


Automatic operation


1. Automatic comfort programme



)
Press this "AU TO "
button. The
indicator lamp comes on.
We recommend that you use this mode. It
automatically adjusts all settings to provide
optimum operation for the comfor t level chosen:
passenger compar tment temperature, air flow,
air distribution and air recirculation.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
air flow will reach its optimum level
gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells
only.


2 - 3. Driver-passenger side
adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left
(blue) or to the right (red)
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.
It is recommended that the difference between
left and right should not be greater 3.
