PEUGEOT 508 Handbook page 69

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the
interior temperature is very high, first air
the passenger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, 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 To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly
as recommended in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Start,

Selection of this mode optimises fuel
consumption, but limits the performance
of the heating and air conditioning, without
however deactivating them.
