COMFORT
For even air distribution, take care
not to obstruct the exterior air intake
grille located at the bottom of the wind-
screen, the vents, the air outlets under
the front seats and the air extractor lo-
cated behind the flaps in the boot.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recov-
ery of the engine power and therefore
improvement of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefit from the
full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment filter is in good condition. Have
the filter elements replaced periodical-
ly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
replace it twice as often.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING REGULATION
Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
all of the following functions: air flow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of vari-
ous sensors, so preventing the need
for you to change your reference set-
tings other than the value displayed.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor 8.
It is required for regulation of the air
conditioning.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. Therefore,
a puddle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
Advice on operation
To obtain even ventilation,
avoid closing the air diffuser
grille 9.
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, you can close the
air diffuser grille and use vents 1 and
5 only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do not
hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Air diffuser
The air diffuser grille, located at the top
of the centre console, significantly im-
proves distribution and flows and pre-
vents air currents, while maintaining an
optimum temperature inside the pas-
senger compartment.
