Peugeot 208 2016-2022 Air Conditioning
Air Conditioning
Manual Mode
Air Conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning system 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 demisting in winter above 3°C
Switching On
-
Press the "A/C" button. The indicator lamp on the button comes on.
Switching Off
-
Press the "A/C" button again. The indicator lamp goes off.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment control is in position "0".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you can use interior air recirculation for a few moments,
then return to fresh air intake.
Air Distribution
The incoming air can be distributed through different outlets:
- Windscreen and side windows
- Windscreen, side windows and footwells
- Footwells
- Central and side vents
The air distribution can be adjusted by placing the dial in an intermediate position.
Air Intake / Air Recirculation
-
Press the button to recirculate interior air. The indicator lamp turns on.
-
Press the button again to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment.
Recirculation of interior air isolates the passenger compartment from exterior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible to prevent deterioration of air quality and mist formation.
Dual-Zone Digital Air Conditioning
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature according to their requirements.
The value shown on the screen corresponds to a comfort level rather than a specific temperature.
Push the button:
- Blue: Reduce the temperature
- Red: Increase the temperature
A setting around 21°C generally provides optimum comfort. Normally a setting between
18°C and 24°C is used. Avoid differences of more than 3 between left and right settings.
AUTO Mode
AUTO mode automatically manages air conditioning, air flow, air intake and distribution
to maintain the selected comfort level.
-
Press the "AUTO" button repeatedly to activate automatic mode.
- Provides the best compromise between comfort and quiet operation.
- Offers soft and quiet operation by limiting air flow.
- Provides strong and effective air flow when required.
When the engine is cold, air flow increases gradually to avoid distributing cold air suddenly.
Auto Visibility Programme
-
Press the "visibility" button for faster demisting or defrosting
of the windscreen and side windows.
-
Press the "visibility" button again or the "AUTO" button
to return to the previous settings.
Air Flow
The air flow symbol (fan icon) appears on the screen and fills progressively depending
on the selected airflow level.
- Press the "full fan" button to increase air flow.
- Press the "empty fan" button to reduce air flow.
Air Distribution Controls
The air flow can be directed to different areas:
- Windscreen, side windows and footwells
- Windscreen and side windows (demisting/defrosting)
- Central and side vents
- Central vents, side vents and footwells
- Footwells
Air Intake / Recirculation
-
Press the button to recirculate interior air. The indicator lamp turns on.
-
Press the button again to allow exterior air intake and prevent misting.
Avoid prolonged use of air recirculation mode as it may cause misting and reduce air quality.
Switching the System Off
-
Press the "empty fan" button until the fan symbol disappears and "---" appears.
This switches off all air conditioning functions. However, a slight flow of air may still be felt
due to the movement of the vehicle.
Avoid driving for too long with the system switched off as this may lead to misting and poor air quality.
Manual Mode
You can override automatic settings by adjusting individual controls manually.
The other functions will continue to operate automatically.
-
When a manual adjustment is made, the indicator lamp in the "AUTO" button turns off.
-
Pressing the "full fan" button reactivates the system using the previous settings.
