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-
partment temperature, air fl ow, air
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 re-
tained on re-starting if the temperature
in the passenger compartment has not
changed signifi cantly; otherwise, ope-
ration resumes in automatic mode.
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
Celsius 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. When the engine is cold, to
prevent too great a distri-
bution of cold air, the ven-
tilation will only reach its
optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than is comfortable, there is no need
to change the value displayed in
order to reach the required level of
comfort. The system eliminates the
temperature difference automatically
and as quickly as possible.

Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four
gears:

 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
- the road profi le,
- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part. If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not

the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery sur-
face.

Notes
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When the brake is applied, the gear-
box will automatically change down
in order to provide effi cient engine
braking. Sport and snow programmes

and engine speed permit. If they do
not, the vehicle will operate tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.

HANDBRAKE
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function dis-
play, by a "-" and fl ashing of the
Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to

R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
respecting local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Illumination of this warning light
and of the STOP warning light,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (while the vehicle is being
driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.

Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.
If the battery is fl at and the
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force
the lever or there is a risk the gear-
box may be damaged. When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.

SAFETY72 -
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of serious
collisions; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and ana-
lyse the front and side impacts suf-
fered in the impact detection zones
(see diagram): in the event of a
serious impact, the air bags infl ate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger).
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact
zone A in the longitudinal centreline,
on a horizontal plane and from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The air bag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
In this way, the air bags limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact. Front air bag malfunction

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags defl ate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, rear
impacts or in certain roll-over con-
ditions. The seat belt is suffi cient to
provide maximum protection in these
situations.

Air bags only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.

Note: the triggering of an air bag or
air bags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This gas may cause slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
