Heating and Ventilation
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.


Contains R134A fluorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity
0.5

kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO
2 equivalent: 0.715 t).
Stop & Start
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.
For more information on Stop & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selecting this mode reduces electrical
energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air

81
Ease of use and comfort
3The active mode appears in the display screen,
as described below:
Ensures soft, quiet operation by limiting
air flow.
Offers the best compromise between a
comfortable temperature and quiet
operation.
Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only increase to its optimum level
gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold
air.
In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of
warm air to the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells only.
Manual mode
It is possible to make a different choice from
that offered by the system by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be managed
automatically.
As soon as a setting is changed, the " AUTO"
symbol disappears.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol
disappears.
This action switches off all of the functions of the
system.
Temperature is no longer controlled. A slight air
flow can still be felt, however, resulting from the
forward movement of the vehicle.
►

Press button
2 "+" to switch the system on
again.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the
temperature to suit their preferences.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
►

Push button
1 down to decrease the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is significantly 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.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
►

Push button
1 down until "LO" is
displayed or up until "HI" is displayed.

Lighting and visibility
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/sunshine
sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this
warning lamp is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or
the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps


If the vehicle is so equipped, they come on
automatically when the engine is started, when
the lighting control stalk is in position " 0" or
"AUTO".
Automatic headlamp illumination
When a low level of ambient light is detected
by 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 can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as the
automatic rain sensitive 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.

92
Lighting and visibility
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
– If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
– If the "AUTO" and "Main beam"
indicator lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
► To reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
Flashing the headlamps does not
deactivate the system.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
– If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
Cornering lighting
This system makes use of the beam from a front
foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when
the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40
km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres).


Without/With cornering lighting
Switching on / off
This system starts:

km/h).
–

when reverse gear is engaged.
Programming
With audio system or touch screen
The system's settings are adjusted via the vehicle configuration menu.
Automatic headlamp dipping
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this
system automatically switches between dipped
and main beam headlamps according to the
lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera
located at the top of the windscreen.


This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
