Recommendations for ventilation and air
conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
in the boot free from obstructions.
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
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
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). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle 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
as recommended in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
F
I
f 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 the towing
ability.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t,
refer to the corresponding section.
