Heating and 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.

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.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
Depending on your vehicle, the controls are
accessible in the "Air conditioning" menu of
the touch screen or are grouped together on
control panel 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.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

To close the air vents:
F side vents; place the cursor in the central

position, then move it sideways towards the
door.

F centre vents; place the cursor in the central

position, then move it sideways towards the
centre of the dashboard.

Stop & Start

The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
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 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation

of the air conditioning system.

F Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month

to keep it in perfect working order.

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

elements replaced regularly.

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

it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.

F 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 the towing ability.

The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

Recirculation of interior air

The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
-

lower the temperature, in summer,

-

increase the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.

F Press this button to activate

the function; its indicator lamp
comes on.

F Press the "large fan" or "small

fan" button to increase or
decrease the air flow.

Switching off

The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment is set to
off.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a
few moments. Then return to the intake
of exterior air.

If you keep pressing the "small fan" until all
of the indicator lamps go off (system off), the
temperature is no longer controlled.
However, a slight flow of air can still be felt,
resulting from the forward movement of the
vehicle.

Avoid the prolonged use of air
recirculation - Risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality!

The intake of exterior air avoids misting of the
windscreen and side windows.
Recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
This function also allows the desired
temperature in the passenger compartment to
be reached in the shortest time.

F Press this button again to deactivate the

function; its indicator lamp goes off.
