Demisting the rear screen and/or mirrors
Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
defrosting of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:
- when the button is pressed,
- when the engine is switched off,
- automatically to prevent excessive energy consumption. Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickly demist or defrost the
windows (humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibility programme indicator lamp
comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow, the defrosting of the rear screen
and provides optimum distribution of the
ventilation to the windscreen and side
windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater 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.
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 heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING
Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate system
which heats the Diesel engine cooling
system to make starting easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance.
Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.

Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.

IMPROVED COMFORT
Protection of the driving position
The Expert is fitted with a ladder type
separation with load retainer at the base, so
protecting the front occupants against the
risks of load movement.
As an option, panel or glazed separation
partitions permit separation of the load
space from the cab for increased protection
and improved acoustic and temperature-
related comfort.
Treatment of the bodywork leading
to acoustic comfort
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack. The Expert is treated by
cataphoresis, ensuring perfect protection
against corrosion. The anticorrosion
warranty has a duration of 6 years.
