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
.
