Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion 
of hot or cool air in the passenger 
compartment, there are adjustable 
central and side vents which can 
be directed sideways (right or left) 
or vertically (up or down). For your 
comfort while driving, do not close 
them and direct the flow of air towards 
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed 
towards the windscreen complete the 
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the 
windscreen or the air extractor located 
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter  
(activated carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits 
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good 
condition and have all of the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of 
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, 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, do 
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger 
compartment for a few minutes.

O mode as much as 
possible as it permits optimised 
control of all of the functions: air flow
, 
passenger compartment comfort 
temperature, air distribution, air 
intake mode or air recirculation in the 
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, 
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air, 
do not use it and contact a P
euge O t
 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

In this case, select the visibility

indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air 
flow and provides optimum distribution 
of the ventilation to the windscreen and 
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. 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.
