and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.











Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL --"
. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the lev-
el via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.

Coolant temperature indicator

System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the en-
gine coolant while driving.
With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is cor-
rect,

- in zone B
, the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1
and the central STOP
warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:


)
wait for the engine to cool,

)
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark
(circular line). On petrol engines, the cooling of the
engine is managed electronically to
reduce fuel consumption. Conse-
quently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient conditions
and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather (normal operation
may lead to a temperature of over
100 °).

The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING

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


)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, 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 dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the digital air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition 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 special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high,
fi rst ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in
the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

HEATING/VENTILATION AND
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

The heating/ventilation or air condition-
ing systems can only operate when the
engine is running.
Manual control panel

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen and
side windows.
The recirculation of interior air prevents
exterior odours and smoke from enter-
ing the passenger compartment.
Return to exterior air intake mode as
soon as possible to avoid deterioration
of the air quality and prevent misting.
Electric control panel


Demisting/defrosting

To quickly demist or defrost the wind-
screen and side windows:


)
place the air intake control 4
in the
"Exterior air intake" position,

)
place the air distribution dial 3
in the
"Windscreen" position,

)
place the temperature dial 1
and the air
fl ow dial 2
in the maximum position,

)
close the central vents,

)
switch on the air conditioning by
pressing the "A/C"
button.
)
If you place the air fl ow control
in position 0
(deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfort-
able level. However, a slight
fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.

3. Air distribution adjustment


)
Move the manual control to the right to
the "Interior air recirculation" position.

)

)
Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.


If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off auto-
matically, demisting/defrosting will resume
next time the engine is switched on.

Switching on

The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the door mirrors. The indica-
tor lamp associated with the button
comes on.

When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air fl ow will only reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, the side windows and the
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to alter the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain
the required level of comfort. The
system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as
quickly as possible. The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The driver and his front pas-
senger can each set the
temperature to suit their re-
quirements.

)
Turn dial 2
or 3
to the left to reduce
the value or to the right to increase it.
A setting around 21 enables you to ob-
tain an optimum level of comfort. De-
pending on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left/right setting difference of
more than 3.

4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice...).


)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

Automatic operation



)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The "AUTO"
symbol is dis-
played.

2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

We recommend that you use this mode:
it provides optimised automatic con-
trol of all of the functions, passenger
compartment temperature, air fl ow, air
distribution and air recirculation, in ac-
cordance with the comfort value that
you have selected.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
