Ventilation

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR

CONDITIONING

In all seasons, if fitted on your vehicle, the

air conditioning should only be used with

the windows closed. However, if the interior

temperature remains high after a prolonged

period parked in the sun, do not hesitate to

ventilate the passenger compartment for a

few minutes.

For even air distribution, ensure that the

exterior air intake grille located at the base

of the windscreen is not obstructed and that

the side and central vents, the air outlets on

the floor and the air extractor at the rear are

open.

The air conditioning is useful in all seasons

as it eliminates condensation and air

humidity.

VENTS

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot

or cool air in the passenger compartment,

there are 4 adjustable central and side vents

which can be directed sideways (right or

left) towards the top of the body. For your

comfort while driving, do not close them,

direct the flow of air towards the windows

instead.

The air vents directed towards the floor of

the vehicle complete the equipment.

Operate the air conditioning system for

5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,

to keep it in perfect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by

the air conditioning system results in a flow

of water which may form a puddle under the

vehicle when parked.

If the system does not produce cold air,

do not use it and contact your PEUGEOT

dealer.

Passenger compartment filter, pollen

filter
Ensure that this filter is in good condition

and have all of the filter elements replaced

regularly.

Refer to the "Levels and checks" section of

chapter 7.

We recommend the use of a combined

passenger compartment filter. By means of

its second special active filter, it contributes

to the purification of the air breathed by

the occupants and to the cleanness of

the passenger compartment (reduction of

allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and

greasy deposits).

The pollen filter permits continuous and

effective filtering of dust.

Ventilation

WITH MANUAL ADJUSTMENT

If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,

they are located on the control panel of the

fascia centre console.

Air conditioning A/C

If fitted on your vehicle, the air conditioning

can only operate with the engine running.

Pressing the button triggers the operation

of the air conditioning, the diode

is lit. Pressing the button again

switches the function off and the

diode is switched off.

the side vents and the central

vents,

the side vents, the central vents

and the footwells,

the footwells,

the windscreen and the footwells,

the windscreen.

Air flow

The force of the blown air, from

the vents, varies from 1 to the

strongest 4. Position 0 switches

it off.

Remember to adjust this control in order to

reach the ambient air comfort level.

Air distribution

The air supply distribution is directed by the

control turned towards:

The air conditioning does not operate if the

air flow is set to 0.

Temperature adjustment

Control positioned:

- in the blue zone, triggers cool air,

- in the red zone, triggers heating

of the interior ambient air.

The air distribution can be

modulated by placing the control

in the intermediate positions,

marked "".

Intake of exterior air

The diode on the button is off.

This is the preferred operating

position.

Recirculation of interior air

The diode on the button is lit.

Recirculation temporarily prevents

exterior odours and smoke

from entering the passenger

compartment. Used with the air conditioning

switched on and setting of the force of blown

air (from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you to

obtain the required ambient air comfort level

more quickly with both hot or cold settings.

This position should only be temporary.

When your ambient air comfort level has

been reached, return to the intake of exterior

air position to permit renewal of the air in the

passenger compartment and avoid misting.

This operating mode is preferable.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS

Good practice

For maximum cooling or heating of the

passenger compartment, it is possible to

exceed the value 15 by turning until LO is

displayed or the value 27 by turning until HI

is displayed.

For optimum comfort, the difference between

the value displayed for the driver and for the

passenger should not be greater than 3.

If your vehicle is fitted with this control

panel, it is located on the centre console.

On entering the vehicle, the inside

temperature may be much colder (or

warmer) than is comfortable. There is no

advantage in changing the value displayed

in order to quickly reach the level of comfort

required. The system will use its maximum

performance to reach the comfort value set.

Ventilation

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display

corresponds to a level of comfort and

not a temperature in degrees Celsius or

Fahrenheit.

Turn this control to the left or to

the right to decrease or increase

the value. A setting around the

value 21 provides optimum

comfort. However, depending on your

requirements, a setting between 18 and 24

is usual.

Automatic operation

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system

operating mode.

Press this button, the

AUTO

symbol is displayed.

In accordance with the comfort

value selected, the system

controls the distribution, the flow and the

intake of air to guarantee comfort and a

sufficient circulation of air in the passenger

compartment. No further action on your part

is required.

When the engine is cold, to prevent an

excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation

will reach its optimum level gradually.

For your comfort, the settings are stored

when the ignition is switched off and are

reinstated the next time the vehicle is

started, if the temperature in the passenger

compartment has not changed significantly;

otherwise, operation resumes in automatic

mode.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor,

located on the windscreen behind the

mirror, it is used for regulation of the air

conditioning.

Ventilation

Air flow
Press the

small fan button to

reduce the flow or the

large fan

button to increase the flow.

On the display, the blades of the fan darken

when the flow is increased.

Deactivating the system

Press the air flow

small fan

button until the fan symbol

disappears.

This action deactivates all of the system’s

functions, with the exception of the air

recirculation and rear screen demisting (if

fitted on your vehicle). Your comfort setting

is no longer maintained and is switched off.

For your comfort, do not deactivate the

system for long periods.

Pressing the

large fan button or

the

AUTO button reactivates the

system with the values set before

it was deactivated.

Manual operation

You can, according to your requirements,

make a different selection from that offered

by the system by changing a setting.

The other functions will still be controlled

automatically. Pressing the

AUTO button

restores fully automatic operation.

Intake of exterior air/

Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to recirculate

the interior air. The recirculation

symbol is displayed.

Recirculation prevents exterior odours

and smoke from entering the passenger

compartment. Avoid prolonged operation

in interior air recirculation mode (risk of

condensation, odour and humidity).

Pressing this button again activates the

intake of exterior air.

Switching the air conditioning

On/Off
Press this button, the

A/C

symbol is displayed and the air

conditioning is activated.

Pressing this button again switches off the

air cooling.

Ventilation

Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or

asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,

even for short periods, in an enclosed space

such as a garage or workshop which is not

fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.

Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable

surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),

there is a risk of fire.

The temperature near the heater must not

exceed 120 °C. A temperature

higher than this (for example in the case

of painting in an oven) could damage the

components of the electronic circuits.

The heater is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel

tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator

light is not at reserve.

ADDITIONAL HEATING

Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and autonomous

system which heats the diesel engine hot

coolant loop to make starting easier.

It improves the de-icing and demisting

performance.

Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be

fitted with a heater. When the engine is at

idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal

to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and

a slight emission of smoke and odour.

Ventilation

Have the heater checked at least

once a year at the beginning of winter.

Maintenance and repairs should only be

carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer. Use

recommended replacement parts only.

Improved

comfort

IMPROVED COMFORT

Treatment of the bodywork leading

to acoustic comfort

The underseal under the body, on the body

sills and on the wheel arches considerably

reduces noise and protects the body from

external attack. The Expert is treated by

cataphoresis, ensuring perfect protection

against corrosion. The anticorrosion

warranty has a duration of 6 years.

Protection of the driving position

The Expert is fitted with a ladder type

separation with load retainer at the base, so

protecting the front occupants against the

risks of load movement.

As an option, panel or glazed separation

partitions permit separation of the load

space from the cab for increased protection

and improved acoustic and temperature-

related comfort.
