the buttons on the side of the driver's seat.
Memorising a position using buttons
M/1/2
► Switch on the ignition.
► Adjust your seat.
►

Press button
M, then press button 1 or 2
within four seconds.
An audible signal indicates that the position has
been stored.
Memorising a new position cancels the previous
position.
Recalling a stored position
► With the ignition on or the engine running,
press button 1 or 2 to return to the corresponding
position.
An audible signal confirms that adjustment is
complete.
You can interrupt the current movement by
pressing button M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the
seat controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while
driving.

seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats



With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately.
►
Use the adjustment wheel to switch on and
select the level of heating required:
0:Off.
1:Low

.
2:Medium.
3:High.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–


Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–


Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–


Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.

3Air distribution

1.Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that 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.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order
.
►

If 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, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If 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.
Manual air conditioning
The manual air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.

Ease of use and comfort

Press the "Air conditioning" menu
button to display the system controls
page.
Temperature adjustment
► Press one of the buttons 1 to decrease or
increase the value.
Air flow adjustment
► Press one of the buttons 2 to increase or
decrease the speed of the air booster fan.
The symbol for air flow (a fan) fills progressively
according to the air flow setting made.
By reducing the air flow to a minimum, you are
stopping ventilation.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).
Air distribution adjustment
These buttons are used to arrange the
distribution of air in the passenger compartment
by combining several air outlets.
Windscreen.
Central and side air vents.
Footwells.
The air distribution can be adapted by using
several buttons: illumination of the indicator
lamp confirms the presence of fan boosted air
in the direction indicated, the indicator lamp off
indicates the absence of fan boosted air in the
direction indicated.
For a uniform distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, the three buttons can be activated
simultaneously.
Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
–

lower the temperature, in summer
,
–

increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter

, above 3°C.
►

Press button
4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the indicator lamp is on, the function is
activated.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is
inhibited.
To obtain cool air sooner, you can use
recirculation of the interior air for a few moments.
Then return to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity, condensation).
Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls can
be used with only the ignition on.
The activation of the air conditioning, the
temperature at the air vent outlets, and the
air flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment are regulated automatically
according to the temperature in the passenger
compartment and the temperature setting.
