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.

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

vents.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.

Ease of use and comfort

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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

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.

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

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.

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.
