ADDITIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS

Supplementar
y heating

On the 2-3 seats version, this is located
under the seat on the driver's side with air
diffusion directed forwards.
REAR HEATING AND/OR AIR
CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with an
additional air conditioning unit,
located in the rear of the vehicle:
the distribution rail located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the fl oor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at the
feet of the rear passengers of rows 2 and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is passenger compartment heating,
additional to the standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Additional heater or programmableadditional heating

This is an additional, programmable and
separate system which heats the Diesel
engine hot coolant loop to make starting
easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted to the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.

Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The LED is
on if the heating is activated. When
rapid demisting and defrosting is
required, switch off the control.

Activation/Deactivation

This control, located on the
control panel at the left-hand end
of the dashboard, enables you to
activate/deactivate the operation
of the rear controls from the driver's seat.
The first press activates (LED on).
A second press deactivates (LED off). To deactivate the fan, place the control in
position 0. However, a safety device will ventilate the
rear circuit automatically, even if the control
is in position 0, to prevent the formation of
condensation.


Air flow

The force of the fan blown air,
via the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4.

To obtain a comfortable level of
ambient air, remember to adjust
this control.
Comfort value adjustment


- on the blue, delivers cool air,

the heating.
Immediate switching on of
the heating
Before switching on the heating, check that:


- the temperature setting control is in the
"Hot air" position (red).

- the air fl ow setting control is in position 2.
This symbol or the previous stored time
and the number (e.g. 1) corresponding to
the recalled pre-selection are displayed for
ten seconds.

Note: if you wish to recall the other pre-
selected times, press the SET button several
times before the ten seconds have elapsed. Press this button.
The screen and the associated
indicator come on.
Within ten seconds, press these two setting
buttons until the correct time is displayed.
Press ">" to increase the hours or

seconds. Press this button.
The screen and the heating cycle
indicator come on and remain
on throughout the duration of
operation.
Switching on the deferred heating

Switching on can be programmed between
one minute and twenty-four hours in
advance.
You can store up to three different start
times, but programme one deferred start
only.

Note: if you wish to start the heating at a
fixed time each day, simply reprogramme
the stored time each day.
Press this button, the screen
becomes brighter. Within the ten seconds, press
these two setting buttons to
select the required start time.
Setting of the stored time is

Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the fuel
gauge indicator lamp is not at reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating system is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant. Top up the coolant,
then press the programme selection control
before switching the heating on again. Have the additional heating system
checked at least once a year at the
beginning of winter. Maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
Recalling one of the pre-selected
start times
Press this button as many times
as necessary until the number
corresponding to the required pre-
selected start time (e.g. 2) appears.
After ten seconds, the time is cleared but
remains stored for as long as the number
(e.g. 2) and the screen remain lit.
Switching off the heating

Press this button.
The heating cycle indicator and
the screen are switched off.
Two different types of equipment

The additional heating is separate and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of
the engine to make starting easier. This also
facilitates passenger compartment heating,
demisting and defrosting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine. Switching on of
the heating may be programmable.
