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.
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.

Air flow
► Turn the thumbwheel 2 to obtain a
comfortable air flow.
If you set the air flow control to the
minimum position (off), the temperature
in the vehicle will no longer be controlled. A
slight air flow can still be felt however,
resulting from the forward movement of the
vehicle.

► Turn the thumbwheel 1 from "LO" (cold)
to "HI" (hot) to adjust the temperature to your
requirements.
Air distribution
Windscreen and side windows.
Central and side air vents.
Footwells.
The air distribution can be adapted by combining
the corresponding buttons.
Air conditioning
With the engine running, the air conditioning is
designed to operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
–

lower the temperature in summer
,
–

enhance the effectiveness of the demisting
function in winter

, above 3°C.
On/Off
► Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the air conditioning is in operation, to
cool the air more quickly, you can use interior
air recirculation for a few moments by pressing
button 4. Then restore the intake of exterior air.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, misting).

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
If you wish, you can make a different choice from
that suggested by the system, by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be controlled
automatically.
The "AUTO" symbol disappears if you change
a setting.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol
disappears.
This disables all functions of the dual-zone
automatic air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight

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.

Lighting and visibility
Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps


The front lamps light up automatically when the
engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
– Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in
the "AUTO" position with adequate light level).
– Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in the " AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.

Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, use of the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps and
dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect sufficient light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury.

► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
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.


► Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. When
the function is activated, a message is also
displayed.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
