Air conditioner power button
The air conditioner is designed to operate in any climatic conditions. In summer, it serves to cool the air in the cabin, and in winter, when the air temperature is below 0°C, it accelerates the removal of condensation from the windows.
To turn on the air conditioner, press the button. The control lamp will light up.

The air conditioner does not work if the knob is 6 (figure 1.52) the air intake speed control is in the "OFF" position.
Note: Air conditioning operation is accompanied by the natural release of water flowing under the vehicle.
Air distribution handle

Air recirculation mode activation button
By pressing button 2, the air recirculation mode in the passenger compartment is activated, and the indicator lamp lights up. The recirculation mode allows you to isolate the interior from unpleasant odors and smoke from the outside.
Turning on the air recirculation mode together with the air conditioner allows you to speed up the cooling of the air in the cabin.
When using recirculation mode in humid climates, there is a risk of glass fogging. As soon as possible, to prevent the windows from fogging up and the atmosphere inside the car from getting worse, set regulator 2 to the outside air supply position. When recirculation is switched off, the indicator lamp goes out.
Rear window defroster switch
The rear window and outside mirror heaters are activated by a single button and operate only when the engine is running.
The electric heaters are designed to turn off automatically after approximately 12 minutes. Pressing the button again turns the heaters on for 12 minutes.
You can force the electric heaters to turn off before 12 minutes have passed by pressing the button again.
Air temperature control knob
Control knob 5 allows you to set the desired air temperature in the cabin.

Air flow rate adjustment knob
Turn the control knob 6 from position "1" to position "4" to ensure that sufficient air enters the passenger compartment to ensure the required comfort.
Important! To ensure reliable operation of your air conditioner over a long period of use, run it for at least 5-10 minutes at least once or twice a month. If the air conditioning is not working satisfactorily, stop using it and contact a Peugeot service station.
Note: To optimize the performance of your vehicle's air conditioning system, it is recommended to leave the system's ventilation grilles in the open position.
