Heated seats
F With the engine running, use the control wheel to switch on and select the level of
heating required:
0: Of f.
1: Low.
2: Medium.
3: High.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can stop the function;
reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption. Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a
risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
- i f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.

Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
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

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.

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.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F

E
nsure that the cabinfilter is in good
condition and have the filter elements
replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a
combined
cabin 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 regularly
as recommended in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a

When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too much cold air being
distributed.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution
of warm air to the windscreen, the side
windows and the footwells only.
