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 low, 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 retained on re-starting if the tem-
perature in the passenger compart-
ment has not changed signiicantly;
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 warm -
er 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.
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 tem-
perature 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.

4. Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession enables
the air low to be directed in
turn towards:
- the windscreen
(de-icing or demisting),
- the windscreen and the
footwells,
- the footwells,
- the centre and side vents and the footwells,
- the centre and side vents. 5. Air low
Press buttons "+" and
"-" respectively to in-
crease or decrease
the air low.
6. Air intake/Air recirculation 7. Switching the system off
The OFF button switches
off all the functions of the
system.
Temperature-related comfort and
demisting are no longer guaranteed
but a slight low of air is maintained.
Pressing the OFF, AUTO , or "vis-
ibility" button again reactivates the
system with the values set before it
was switched off.
Note: if you wish to cut off the low
of air completely, press the air intake
button 7.
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
Recirculation, shown on the
display, enables the pas
-
senger compartment to be insulated
from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of interior
air (risk of condensation and deteriora-
tion of the air quality).
Press the button again to resume
automatic management of the intake
of air.
Notes
To prevent condensation on the in-
side of the vehicle in cold or wet
weather, you are advised to avoid
using the
ECO mode.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.

tivated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)
with at least fourth gear engaged for
vehicles itted with a manual gearbox.
On vehicles itted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position D
at a speed greater than 24 mph approx.

SAFETY
-
The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-
strained before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten your seat
belt, even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulil their role fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are itted with an in -
ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stored
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that
the seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on
the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are itted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it. In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement,
checking that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modiied to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and particularly
if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre
ifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags. Triggering of the pre-ten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if nec -
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
* According to model.

battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
- Wait for 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before
disconnecting the
battery.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without irst disconnecting the
terminals.
- Close the windows and the roof before disconnecting the

before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight dificulties
are experienced after this,
please consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, elec
-
tric windows, courtesy lights, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for
a combined duration of approximately
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes -
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the en -
gine is left running. However, this pe -
riod will always be between ive and
thirty minutes.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the
positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an
earth point on the broken down
vehicle, as far as possible from
the battery (for example, right-
hand engine mounting),
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
A lat battery prevents the
engine from starting.
