In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate re-
newal of air in the passenger compartment.

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the pu rifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger co mpart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

 To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning syste m, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it a nd contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engi ne power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the"Identifi cation markings" para-
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehi-
cle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature wear of the tyres, particu-
larly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnet-
ic emissions on a frequency close
to that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction.
The speed has to be above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to locate the wheel concerned.
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
This warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen locating the
wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden ediate
the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very defl ated tyre), and Change the damaged wheel (punc-
have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal, to locate the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper. The parking assistance is
switched on
by engaging reverse gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal.
* According to version.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous and
the "Danger" symbol appears, depend-
ing on the multifunction screen version.
The parking assistance is
switched off
by moving the gear lever to neutral.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The proximity information is indicated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen * , with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle. Operating fault
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp comes on, when
reverse gear is engaged, ac-
companied by an audible signal
(short beep) and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
