Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.F

P
ush the button down
to reduce the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21
provides optimum
comfort. Depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18
and 24 is normal.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left /right setting difference of more
than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there is no
need to alter the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14
or the
maximum value 28.

designed to operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.

demisting/defrosting in winter, above 3°C.
Switching on
F Press this button, its indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment is set to off. To cool the air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for
a few moments. Then return to the
intake of exterior air.

Recirculation of the
interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of condensation on the windscreen and side
windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours and
smoke.
This allows hot or cold air to be delivered
quickly when required.

Advice
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
located in the rear free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located
at the top of the windscreen; this is used
for regulation of the 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

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating air
quality inside the passenger compartment,
you should not deactivate the system for
too long and avoid extended operation of
the air recycling system when driving.
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).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked in accordance with the
recommendations 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. Vents
To close the vent, move the control outwards.
You may feel slight resistance.

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 air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
ContainsR134A fluorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on the version and country
of sale, the air conditioning system
contains R134A fluorinated greenhouse
gases. Gas load 0.5 kg (+/- 0.025 kg),
GWP index 1,430
t (equivalent in CO
2:
0.715
t).
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 can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Rear Heating – Air
