In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o 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.
F

Do not cover the sunshine sensor
, located on the dashboard;
this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F

Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to
10

minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working
order.
F Ensure
that the passenger compartment filter is in good
condition

and have the filter elements replaced regularly

(refer to the "Checks" section).
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment
filter.
Thanks
to its special active additive,
it

contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F


T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,
you are also advised to refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for information on when it should be checked.
F

If the system does not produce cold air
, switch it off and
contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified 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, first ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put
the air flow 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

Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.

by pressing the button
briefly,
F

once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold
the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order

, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING F AULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen.

As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
F

stop where it is safe to do so,
F


switch of
f the ignition,
F

switch the ignition on again.
If

the indicator lamp no longer flashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation.

To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If
the indicator lamp flashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty

.
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler)\
, the
indicator
lamp in the control button flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have

it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing. Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.

F press

the

button

briefly:

the

indicator
