Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
the air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer. 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 o
btain 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
I
n normal conditions, use 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
n
sure 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. t
h
anks 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
h
e air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. t
h
is 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 e
nsure 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 P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
