Heating and Ventilation


Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compar tment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen
or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Controls

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the front passenger and rear
passengers, according to the level of
equipment.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compar tment by the combined use of the
associated buttons.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are grouped together on control
panel A
on the centre console.

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.

Checks





























Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Maintenance and Warranty Guide and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


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 details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.

Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details 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 compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.

Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.


Oil filter






The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is required when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Display of this warning lamp or a specific
message, together with the ser vice warning lamp,
indicates the star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter or low level in the Diesel additive reser voir.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the ser vice warning lamp goes off.
If the ser vice warning lamp stays on,
this indicates a low additive level. Have
the additive reser voir topped up and
the par ticle emission filter ser viced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
the environment.
