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.

This indicator lamp is lit when the
system is programmed to come on
for heating.
This indicator lamp flashes while the
heating is operating.
Ventilation
This system allows ventilation of the passenger
compartment with exterior air to improve the
temperature experienced on entering the
vehicle in summer.

- Turn the thumbwheel from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust the
temperature to your liking.
This control simultaneously adjusts the
temperature and the location of the air
delivery:
-

b

lue: the air is delivered mainly at roof
level,
-

r

ed: the air is delivered mainly by the
vent located in row 3
on the right.
