PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook page 53

Provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
Offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature
and quiet operation.
Provides dynamic and effective air
flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too much cold air being
distributed.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution
of warm air to the windscreen, the side
windows and the footwells only.
Switching off
F Press the "Empty fan" air flow button 2
until the fan symbol disappears.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature individually.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
F Push the button 1 down (blue) to reduce the
value or up (red) to increase it.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum
comfort. Depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is normal.
It is also recommended to avoid a left/right
setting difference of more than 3.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
F Push the button 1 down until "LO" is
displayed or up until "HI" is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there is no
need to alter the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible.
Visibility programme
For information on how to use the visibility
programme 7, refer to the corresponding
section in "Front demist – defrost".
Ease of use and comfort
Air conditioning
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.
On/Off
F Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
To cool the air more quickly, you can use
interior air recirculation for a few moments by
pressing button 4. Then return to the intake of
exterior air.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment control 2 is in
position "0".
Switching the system off may result in
some discomfort (humidity, misting).
Air distribution
F Press button 3 successively to direct the air
flow towards:
- the windscreen, the side windows and the
footwells,
