Ease of use and comfort
3If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, 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.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selection of this mode optimises fuel
consumption, but limits the performance
of the heating and air conditioning, without
however deactivating them.
Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
This system automatically controls the activation
of the air conditioning system, regulating the
temperature, air flow and air distribution inside
the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system operates with
the engine running, but the ventilation and its
controls can be accessed with the ignition on.
Press the Climate menu button to display
the system controls page.

Ease of use and comfort
You can define multiple programmings.Each one is saved in the system.
To optimise battery life, we recommend
programming with the vehicle plugged in.
This feature can be programmed using a smartphone, via the
MyPeugeot application.
With PEUGEOT Connect Radio, the
programming can only be carried out using a
smartphone, via the application.
For more information on Remotely operable
features , refer to the corresponding section.
Operating conditions
– The function is only activated when the
ignition is off and the vehicle locked .
– The function is not activated if the battery
charge level is below 50%.
– If recurrent programming is activated (e.g.
from Monday to Friday) and two pre-conditioning
sequences are performed without the vehicle
being used, the programming will be deactivated.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is
discharged.


► Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace
the battery .
Do not throw remote control batteries
away, as they contain metals that are
harmful to the environment. Take them to an
approved disposal point.
The maximum heating period is about 45 minutes depending on the climatic
conditions.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
–

the battery charge and the fuel level are
sufficient,
–


the engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle,
–


60
minutes have elapsed between two
heating requests.


The programmable heating is supplied by the vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make
sure that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel
tank is on reserve, you are strongly
recommended not to program the heating.
The additional heating must always be
switched off while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
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
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)
- Risk of fire!
Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
Thermal pre-conditioning (Hybrid)
This function allows you to programme the
vehicle to adjust the passenger compartment
temperature to a pre-defined, non-modifiable
temperature (approx. 21°C) before you enter the
vehicle, on the days and times of your choice.
Programming
(With PEUGEOT Connect Nav)
In the Climate > OPTIONS menu:
Select Temperature conditioning .
►

Press
+ to programme.
►

Select the time of entry into the vehicle and
the desired days. Press

OK.
►

Press
ON to activate this programming.
Pre-conditioning begins approximately 45
minutes before the programmed time, and is
maintained for 10 minutes afterwards.




This indicator lamp remains lit throughout the
pre-conditioning phase.

Lighting and visibility
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front

► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreversible distortion.
Do not release them while they are moving -
risk of damaging the windscreen!
► Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products.
The front screenwash jets are integrated in the tips of each arm.
Additional jets are installed below the
midpoint of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and decreases screenwash fluid
consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to avoid
odours inside the passenger compartment.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper (SW)

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.
Off
Intermittent wipe
Wash-wipe
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
This function is set via the Driving /
V ehicle touch screen menu.
In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing system, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper via the touch screen’s Driving/
Vehicle menu.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

► Operating the wiper control stalk within one
minute after switching off the ignition will place
the wiper blades in a vertical position.
►

Proceed with the desired operation or replace
the wiper blades.
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position, switch on the ignition and operate the
wiper control stalk.
