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.  
AIR FLOW PATHS  
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the control  
positions selected by the driver:  
-
-
-
direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),  
passage through a heating circuit (heating),  
passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).  
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 diffuse the air in the  
passenger compartment combining several air vents.  
The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the  
ventilation blower.  
CONTROL PANEL  
AIR dIFFUSION  
The controls for this system are grouped together on control panel A on  
the centre console. The functions offered are:

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING  
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation  
and maintenance guidelines below:  
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is  
very high, first ventilate the cabin for a few moments.  
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.  
Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change  
the air in the cabin.  
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does  
not present any danger to the ozone layer.  
F
F
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard;  
this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.  
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to  
10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working  
order.  
F
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good  
condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly  
(refer to the "Checks" section).  
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a  
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.  
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
F
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,  
you are also advised to refer to the warranty and maintenance  
record for information on when it should be checked.  
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 towing performance.  
60  
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR  
CONDITIONING  
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold  
air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually.  
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the  
windscreen, side windows and footwells only.  
The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.  
2. driver's side adjustment  
3. Passenger's side adjustment  
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the  
temperature to their requirements.  
AUTO  
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level  
of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or  
Fahrenheit.  
F
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right respectively to decrease  
or increase this value.  
AUTOMATIC OPERATION  
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However,  
depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is  
normal.  
1. Automatic comfort programme  
F
Press the "AUTO" button. The indicator lamp in the

button comes on.  
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.  
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder  
or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change  
the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The  
system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and  
as quickly as possible.  
This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the  
windows closed.

Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door  
mirrors as soon as appropriate as lower current consumption  
results in reduced fuel consumption.  
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or  
driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation  
and deterioration of the air quality).
