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.

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.

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

The maximum heating period is about
45
minutes depending on the climatic
conditions. The additional heating system is powered
by the fuel in the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank level is on reser ve, the system
cannot be used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-
t he battery is sufficiently charged,
-

t
he fuel level is adequate,
-

t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – risk of fire!
Do not throw remote control batteries
away as they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment. Take them
to an approved collection point.
Always switch off the additional heating
while refuelling – risk of fire or explosion! Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these sur faces;
never touch these sur faces – risk of burns!

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 at 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
o r d e r.
F

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

E
nsure that the cabin filter 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 according to
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. If after an extended period parked
in the sun, 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 air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
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.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle when stationary
which is per fectly normal.

F Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a
message.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lamps come on
and this warning lamp lights up in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
w orkshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located
on the dashboard or at the top of the
windscreen behind the rear view mirror
(depending on equipment); the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.
Daytime running lamps/
sidelamps
The front lamps light up automatically when the
engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
-

D
aytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at " AUTO" position with adequate light
level).
-

S
idelamps (lighting control stalk at " AUTO"
position with low light level or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected
b y a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They may also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to
a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

epending on version, within one minute
of switching off the ignition, operate the
lighting control stalk up or down, depending
on the traffic side (for example, when
parking on the right, push the lighting
control stalk downwards; the left-hand
sidelamps come on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
