VENTILATION  
1. Windscreen de-icing or  
demisting vents.  
2. Front window de-icing or  
demisting vents.  
3. Side vents.  
4. Centre vents.  
5. Air outlets to front footwells.  
De-icing the rear door screen  
and/or mirrors  
With the engine running, pressing  
the control de-ices the rear screen  
and/or mirrors.  
It switches off automatically after ap-  
proximately twelve minutes.  
Pressing the control again switches  
the de-icing system on again for  
twelve minutes.  
Advice on operation  
Select the air distribution most suited  
to your requirements and the climatic  
conditions.  
Gradually adjust the temperature  
setting for your comfort.  
Position the air control in the ''Out-  
side Air'' position.  
For perfectly even air distribution,  
take care not to obstruct the exterior  
air intake grille and the vents. Check  
that the passenger compartment il-  
ter is in good condition.  
It is possible to switch off the de-icing  
by pressing the control before the  
twelve minutes have elapsed.  
When the engine is cold, to prevent  
too great a distribution of cold air, the  
ventilation will only reach its optimum  
level progressively.  
To be effective, the air conditioning  
(A/C button), should only be used  
with the windows closed.  
If, when the vehicle has been parked  
in the sun for a prolonged period, the  
interior temperature remains very  
high, do not hesitate to ventilate the  
passenger compartment for a few  
minutes.

1. Temperature adjustment  
Slide the control 1 from  
blue (cold) to red (hot) to  
adjust the temperature  
to your requirements.  
2. Air low adjustment  
Slide the control 2 from the  
minimum (left) position to  
the maximum (right) posi-  
tion to obtain an air low  
suficient to ensure your  
comfort.  
HEATING  
3. Air intake  
"Recirculated inside air"  
position.  
Recirculation of the inside air  
permits isolation of the pas-  
senger compartment from  
external odours and smoke.  
Used simultaneously with the air con-  
ditioning, the recirculation permits  
improvement of the air conditioning  
performance at cold settings.  
When used in a humid climate, the  
recirculation presents risks of misting  
of the windows.

"Exterior air intake" position.  
Important precaution  
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-  
screen and side windows:  
- set the temperature 1 and air low 2  
controls to maximum,  
- close the centre vents,  
- place the exterior air intake control  
3 in the "Exterior air intake" posi-  
tion,  
Operate the air conditioning system  
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a  
month, to keep it in perfect working  
order.  
If the system does not produce  
cold air, do not use it and contact a  
PEUGEOT dealer.  
As soon as possible, place the con-  
trol 3 in this position to avoid the risks  
of misting of the windows and dete-  
rioration of the air quality.  
- switch on the air conditioning by  
pressing button 5.  
Note: to optimise the operation of  
the air conditioning, leave the vents  
open.  
Additional heating  
4. Air distribution adjustment  
5. Air conditioning control  
Vehicles itted with an HDI engine  
may be itted with automatic addition-  
al heating to improve your comfort.  
When the engine is idling or the  
vehicle is stationary, it is quite normal  
to notice a high-pitched whistling  
noise and a slight emission of smoke  
and odours.  
The air conditioning is designed to op-  
erate in all seasons. In summer, it en-  
ables the temperature to be lowered  
and in winter, above 0 °C, it increases  
the effectiveness of the demisting.  
Slide the control 4 to direct the air  
low towards:  
the centre and side vents,  
the footwells,  
Press the switch 5, the indi-  
cator light comes on.  
The air conditioning does not  
operate while the air low adjust-  
ment control 2 is in the minimum  
position.  
Note: when stationary, it is quite  
normal to notice an accumulation  
of water under the vehicle as the air  
conditioning system discharges its  
condensation drop by drop.
