could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.

ents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the flow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good
condition and have all of the filter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows closed. However, if the
interior temperature remains high
after a prolonged period parked in
the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be sufficient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a flow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
