Heating and Ventilation

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.
These controls are grouped together on control
panel A 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.

5. Air

outlets to the front footwells.

6. Adjustable air vents for the rear

passengers.

7. Air

outlets to the rear footwells.

Air distribution

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

87

Comfort

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
)

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 minutes.

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

)

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.

)

Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may

cause misting of the windows and side windows.

)

Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation

of the automatic air conditioning system.

)

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it

in good working order.

)

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

elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
second special active filter, 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).

)

The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an

increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.

When

towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient

temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves
towing capacity.

Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

)

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

it checked regularly.

)

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 air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

Comfort

Manual air conditioning

The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.

1. Temperature adjustment

)

Turn the dial from left

(cold) to right (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.

2. Air fl ow adjustment

)

Press the "full fan" button to
increase the air flow.

According to the value selected,

the associated line of LEDs fills
progressively.

)

Press the "empty fan" button to

reduce the air flow.

3. Air distribution adjustment

)

press the corresponding button for:

Windscreen and side windows.

Central and side vents.

Footwells.

Depending on your requirements, you
can combine two distribution buttons
or select the three distribution modes
simultaneously.

4. Air intake / Air recirculation

)

Press this button to recirculate

the interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.

)

Press the button again to

permit the intake of exterior air.
The indicator lamp goes off to
confirm this.

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air quality
and the formation of mist.

5. Air conditioning On / Off

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.

Switching on

)

Press the "A/C" button, the associated

green indicator lamp comes on.

The air conditioning does not operate when

Automatic operation

1. Automatic comfort programme

)

Press this "AUTO" button. The

indicator lamp comes on.

We recommend that you use this mode. It
automatically adjusts all settings to provide
optimum operation for the comfort level chosen:
passenger compartment temperature, air flow,
air distribution and air recirculation.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.

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.

2 - 3. Driver-passenger side

adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

)

Turn control 2 or 3 to the left

(blue) or to the right (red)
respectively to decrease or
increase this value.

A setting around the value 21 provides optimum
comfort. However, depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18 and 24 is normal.
It is recommended that the difference between
left and right should not be greater 3.

The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.

odours and smoke. It is activated automatically
when operating the screenwash.

Avoid driving for long periods with the
system off (risk of condensation and
deterioration of the air quality).
Pressing the "full fan" button
reactivates the system with the values
in use at the time it was switched off.

The air flow symbol, the fan, fills progressively
according to the value requested.

This action switches off all of the functions of
the air conditioning system.
Temperature related comfort is no longer
guaranteed but a slight flow of air, due to the
forward movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
