Rear seats

Rear head restraints

These have a high position (comfort and best
safety) and a low position (best rear vision for
the driver).

possible.
Once the seat and passenger compartment
are at a comfortable temperature, you can
switch off the function; reducing electric
current consumption also reduces fuel
consumption.

Prolonged use at the highest setting is not
recommended for those with sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that do
not have normal perception of heat (illness,
taking medicines, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

if wearing damp clothing,

-

if child seats are fitted.

the seat:
-

do not place heavy objects on the seat,

-

do not kneel or stand on the seat,

-

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.

System which creates and maintains good
conditions of comfort and visibility in the
vehicle's passenger compartment.

Controls

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected.
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.
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.

Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting

vents.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

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
moments by opening the windows.

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

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

vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

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 Favour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause

misting of the windscreen and the side windows.

F Operate the air conditioning system for 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.

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

it checked regularly.

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

a qualified workshop.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating or
air conditioning as soon as they are no
longer needed.

During normal charging of the
vehicle, the ventilation, heating and
air conditioning can be activated from
the ACC position of the switch.
During fast charging of the vehicle, the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
cannot be activated.
