Get Comfort Guide for Peugeot 3008 SUV First Generation (2008-2015)

Comfort

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.

3

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.

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. Adjustable air vents for the rear

passengers.

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.

7. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

Comfort

The air conditioning system does not

contain chlorine and does not present

any danger to the ozone layer.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

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 minutes.

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

passenger compartment.

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

In normal conditions, use 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).

F

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.

F

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.

60

Comfort

Manual air conditioning

F

If you place the air flow control

in position 0 (deactivation of the

system), the temperature is no

longer maintained at a comfortable

level. However, a slight flow of air,

due to the movement of the vehicle,

can still be felt.

4. Air intake / Air recirculation

The intake of exterior air limits misting of the

windscreen and side windows.

The recirculation of interior air insulates the

passenger compartment from exterior odours

and smoke.

Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible

to prevent deterioration of the air quality and

demisting performance.
