clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIRCONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed. However,
if the interior temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, fi rst ventilate
the passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

Air flow

The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4. Remember to adjust
this control in order to reach the

blower, place the control in position 0.


Air conditioning

The air conditioning mode can only operate
with the engine running.
The air blower must be set to at
least 1.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the LED is on. Pressing the button again
switches the function off and the LED is

Comfort value adjustment ring
The settings range between:


- increasing the interior ambient air
temperature HI (High) which goes up to
to a maximum setting of 32,

- cooling the interior ambient air
temperature LO (Low) which goes down
to a setting of 16.

Air distribution

A press illuminates the LED on the buttons
which distribute the air flow towards:
the windscreen and front side
window vents (demisting/
defrosting the windows),
the central and side vents (chest
and face),
the vents in the front and rear
areas (feet).
The combination of buttons permits
improvement of air distribution.
Air flow

Successive presses of this button
increase (+) or reduce (-) the
force of the air flow to the interior.


Intake of exterior air/
recirculation of interior air
When the LED is on, the air
recirculates inside the passenger
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior
odours and smoke. This position should be
temporary.
When the ambient air comfort level has been
reached, pressing the button switches the
LED off and reopens the exterior air intake.
Pressing the AUTO
button also restores
the intake of exterior air. Returning to this
position permits renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing the AUTO
button again restores
the FULL AUTO
function.


Rapid demisting/defrosting

Pressing this control permits
rapid clearing of the windows.
The LED is on.
The system manages the air conditioning,
the flow and intake of air, the defrosting
of the rear screen and provides optimum
distribution of the air to the windscreen and
front side windows.
If your vehicle is fitted with additional
heating, switch it off to ensure rapid and
effective demisting/defrosting.
