Heating and Ventilation

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger

compartment is filtered and originates either

from the outside via the grille located at the

base of the windscreen or from the inside in air

recirculation mode.

Controls

The incoming air follows various routes

depending on the controls selected by the

driver, the front passenger or rear passengers,

depending on the level of equipment.

The temperature control enables you to obtain

the level of comfort required by mixing the air of

the various circuits.

The air distribution control enables you to

select the air vents used in the passenger

compartment by the combined use of the

associated buttons.

F Fold down the rear seats.

F Remove the covers, on each side, in the

upper section in the roof.

F Position the net's upper hooks in the roof.

F Attach the bottom of the net to the hooks

located at the seat belt mountings.

F Pull on the straps to stretch the net.

Once fitted, the net does not prevent folding of

the rear seat backrests.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the

interior temperature is very high, first air

vents.

3. Adjustable and closable side air vents.

4. Adjustable and closable central air vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

F To 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 in the boot free

from obstructions.

F Do not cover the sunshine sensor,

located on the dashboard; this is used

for regulation of the automatic air

conditioning system.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

3

The condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of water

under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

F Operate the air conditioning system for

at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice

a month to keep it in perfect working

order.

F 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 and so

improves the towing ability.

Servicing the ventilation and air

conditioning system

F Ensure that the passenger compartment

filter is in good condition and have the

filter elements replaced regularly.

We recommend the use of a combined

passenger compartment 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 To ensure correct operation of the

air conditioning system, you are also

advised to have it checked regularly

as recommended in the Warranty and

Maintenance Record.

Ease of use and comfort

When the indicator lamp is on, the function is

Stop & Start

F If you place thumbwheel 2 at position

0 (off), thermal comfort will no longer

be controlled. A slight flow of air can

still be felt, resulting from the forward

movement of the vehicle.

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.

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.
