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
o r d e r.
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 air 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.
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 may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
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.

temperature in the passenger compartment to
be reached in the shortest time.F
