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 back 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 condensation or deteriorating
air quality inside the passenger
compartment, you should not deactivate
the system for too long or avoid extended
operation of the air recirculation system
when driving.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
If after an extended period parked in the sun, 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.
Contains fluorinated greenhouse gas
R13 4A
Depending on version and country
of sale, the air conditioning system
contains fluorinated greenhouse gas
R13 4A .
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 according
to the warranty and maintenance record
recommendations.
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.
The condensation created by the air conditioning
results in a discharge of water under the vehicle
when stationary 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.
