2019 Peugeot 508 air condition

67
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 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 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 comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.

Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in
the passenger compartment are automatic.
Temperature adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each
choose their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
F
P
ress one of the buttons 1 to increase or
decrease the value.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Automatic comfort
programme
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level you have selected.
It is possible to modulate the intensity of the
automatic comfort programme by choosing one
of the settings offered in the secondary page,
accessible from the " OPTIONS" button. To change the current setting, shown by
illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp, press button 9 repeatedly until the
desired setting is displayed:
"Normal ": offers the best
compromise between a
comfortable temperature and
quiet operation (default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and
effective air flow.
Use the " Normal" or "Fast" setting to assure
the comfort of passengers in the rear seats.
This setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of AUTO
mode, the indicator for the last setting selected
remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated. In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach the required level
of comfort more quickly. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once it detects a certain level of
polluting substances in the exterior air.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
"
Soft ": provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow.

progressively as the speed of the fan is
increased. This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when
the front screenwash is used or when reverse
gear is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5°C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows. By reducing the air flow to minimum, you are
stopping ventilation.
"
OFF " is displayed alongside the fan.
Avoid driving for too long without
ventilation – risk of condensation and
deterioration of air quality!
Air distribution adjustment
You can vary the air distribution in the passenger
compartment using the three buttons 3 .
Each press on a button activates or deactivates
the function. The indicator lamp is on when the
button is activated. For a uniform distribution

flow can still be felt however, resulting from the
for ward movement of the vehicle. Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation
off or the system deactivated – risk of
misting and deterioration of the air quality!
Pressing any button reactivates the system
with the settings that were previously in use.
Recirculation of the
interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and the side windows.
The recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
This function also allows the desired
temperature in the passenger compartment to
be reached in the shortest time.
F

P
ress this button to activate/
deactivate the function.
Recirculation is automatically activated
when the front screenwash is used or
when reverse gear is engaged.

of the equipment associated with the
camera.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.

Animals less than 0.50 m tall are not detected.
T he instrument panel must be in "Night Vision"
display mode for the infrared camera image to
be displayed constantly.
The constant display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
Operation
Activation/deactivation of the function
is done in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen.
If all the operating conditions are
met, this indicator lamp comes on in
green: the display in the instrument
panel (with "Night Vision" mode
selected) and triggering of alerts are
available.

or temperature) are not met, the
indicator lamp comes on in orange:
only the display in the instrument
panel is available (in "Night Vision"

Once pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
Once the system detects a risk
of collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: one of
these symbols is displayed in the
instrument panel. The respective
silhouette is framed in red. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window.
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by
