DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
De-icing the rear screen and
mirrors
When the engine is running,
pressing this button de-ices
the rear screen and exterior
mirrors.
It switches off automatically, after approximately twelve minutes,
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current. Pressing the button again
restarts operation for twelve minutes.
It is possible to stop the operation of
the de-icing before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again.
Switch off the de-icing as soon as
you consider this necessary as low
current consumption reduces fuel
consumption. Manual demisting

To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.
1. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed. In summer, it permits lowering of the temperatu re and in winter,
above 0 °C, it increases the effectiveness of the demisting. 2. Temperature adjustment

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.
Automatic operation 2. Control by the AUTO programme
Press the "AUTO" button.
We recommend that you use
this mode: it provides opti-
mised automatic control of
all of the functions, passenger com-
p a r t m e n t t e m p e r a t u r e , a i r l o w , a i r
distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen. This system is
designed to operate effectively in all
seasons, with the windows closed. Note:
for your comfort, the values
set when the engine is switched off
are retained on re-starting if the tem-
perature in the passenger compart-
m e n t h a s n o t c h a n g e d s i g n i i c a n t l y ;
otherwise, operation resumes in au-
tomatic mode.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will only reach its optimum
level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or war-
mer than is comfortable, there is no
need to change the value displayed
i n o r d e r t o r e a c h t h e r e q u i r e d l e v e l o f
comfort. The system eliminates the
temperature difference automatically

Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the sys-
tem by changing a setting. The other
functions will still be controlled auto-
matically.
Pressing the AUTO button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
1. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the
display corresponds to a
level of comfort and not to a
temperature in degrees Cel-
sius or Fahrenheit.
Press the arrows 1 (up and down) to
change this value. A setting around
21 enables a comfortable tempera-
ture to be obtained.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic
chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, the code
must be recognised for starting to be
possible.
Make a careful note of the
number of each key. This
number is coded on the la-
bel attached to the key.
The high frequency remote control
is a sensitive system; do not oper-
ate it while it is in your pocket as
there is a possibility that it may un-
lock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
The remote control does not oper-
ate when the key is in the ignition,
even when the ignition is switched

Driving with the doors locked may

As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control
would have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle, have the key codes mem-
orised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to
ensure that the keys in your pos-
session are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.
