Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for
a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
P
lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the
passenger compartment.
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
U
se in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the automatic air conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F
E
nsure 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
second special active filter, 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
he air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an
increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
W
hen towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves
towing capacity.
C
ondensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
