► 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, enhancing the towing capacity.

backrest compromises the safety of  
passengers in the event of sudden braking or  
an accident.

is filtered and originates either from the  
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the  
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation  
mode.

We recommend using a composite passenger  
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active  
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the  
air breathed by the occupants and keep the  
passenger compartment clean (by reducing  
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and  
greasy deposits).  
To ensure correct operation of the  
air conditioning system, have it checked  
according to the recommendations in the  
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.  
When the air flow is reduced to a minimum,  
ventilation stops.
