Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an accident.
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.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forwards - risk of serious injury!
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
Heating and Ventilation
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
► To 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.
Air intake The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the exterior, via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen, or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
Controls
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
3 on the dashboard; this sensor is used
to regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
Depending on version, certain
► Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
controls are accessible in the Climate
touch screen application and/via the
control panel on the centre console.
► Operate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
Air distribution
► If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
► To ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Stop & Start / e-Auto mode
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the corresponding
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
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!
