  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 de-
posits). 
   
 ) 
  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.  
   
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, fi rst 
ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.  
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment. 
   
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of 
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
