Get Comfort Guide for Peugeot 5008 SUV First Generation (2009-2016)

Comfort

Heating and Ventilation

System which creates and maintains good

conditions of comfort and visibility in the

vehicle's passenger compartment.

3

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 and rear passengers,

according to 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.

Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.

2. Front side window demisting/defrosting

vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Adjustable air vents for the rear

passengers.

The air flow control enables you to increase or

reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.

These controls are grouped together on

control panel A on the centre console.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.

7. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

63

Comfort

The air conditioning system does not

contain chlorine and does not present

any danger to the ozone layer.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance

guidelines below:

F

If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun

for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.

Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the

passenger compartment.

Rear ventilation

adjustment

F

To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles

located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well

as the air extractor located in the boot.

F

Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may

cause misting of the windows and side windows.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation

of the automatic air conditioning system.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it

in good working order.

Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter

elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its

second special active filter, 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

The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an

increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.

When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures,

switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.

Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the

vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have

it checked regularly.

After pressing the "REAR" button, turn the

adjustment dial of the rear side vents to

decrease or increase the flow of air.

Take care not to obstruct the side vents and the

air outlets on the floor.

F

If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

To shut off the flow of air, close the vents and

set the dial to 0.

64

Comfort

Manual air conditioning

4. Air intake / Air recirculation

The intake of exterior air limits misting of the

windscreen and side windows.

The recirculation of interior air insulates the

passenger compartment from exterior odours

and smoke.

Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible

to prevent deterioration of the air quality and

demisting performance.

F

If you place the air flow control

in position 0 (deactivation of the

system), the temperature is no

longer maintained at a comfortable

level. However, a slight flow of air,

due to the movement of the vehicle,

can still be felt.

value.

We recommend the use of this mode: it permits

automatic and optimised adjustment of all

of the functions, passenger compartment

temperature, air flow, air distribution and air

recirculation, in accordance with the comfort

value that you have chosen.

The system automatically controls the air

conditioning, the air flow and the air intake and

provides optimum distribution of the ventilation

to the windscreen and side windows.

A setting around the value 21 provides

optimum comfort. However, depending on your

requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is

normal.

You are advised to avoid a left / right setting

difference of more than 3.
