EASE OF USE and COMFORT
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance 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 air conditioning system.
)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good
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
deposits).
)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,
you are also advised to refer to the servicing and warranty
booklet for information on when it should be checked.
)
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 towing performance.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL
AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
1. Automatic comfort programme
)
Press the "AUTO"
button. The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits automatic and
optimised adjustment of all of the functions, passenger compartment
temperature, air fl ow, air distribution and air recirculation, in accordance
with the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
2. Driver's side adjustment
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air fl ow will reach its optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells only.
3. Passenger's 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 comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to the right 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.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting difference of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

SWITCHING THE SYSTEM OFF
)
Turn the air fl ow control to the left until all of the indicator lamps
go off.
This action switches off the air conditioning and the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no longer guaranteed but a slight fl ow
of air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
)
Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or press the "AUTO"
button
to reactivate the system with the values set before it was
switched off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or
driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation
and deterioration of the air quality).
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
)
Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated
from exterior odours and smoke.
)
As soon as possible, press this button again to permit the intake
of outside air and prevent the formation of condensation. The
indicator lamp on the button switches off.
9. Mono-zone / Dual-zone
)
Press this button to equalise the comfort value on the
passenger's side with that on the driver's side (mono
zone). The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
DEFROST
SWITCHING ON
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine
is running.
)
Press this button to demist/defrost the rear screen and (depending
on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with
the button comes on.
SWITCHING OFF
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an
excessive consumption of current.
)
It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it
is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The
indicator lamp associated with the button switches off.
If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.
)
Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door
mirrors as soon as appropriate as lower current consumption
results in reduced fuel consumption.
The control button is located on the heating or air conditioning
system control panel.
