Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
in the boot free from obstructions.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning
system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10
minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad
odours and greasy deposits). F
T o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly
as recommended in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified 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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-
d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-
d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Visibility programme
Switching onF
P
ress the "visibility" button to
demist or defrost the windscreen
and side windows as quickly as
possible.
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow and air intake, and
provides optimum distribution towards the
windscreen and side windows.
Switching off F
P
ress the "visibility" button
again or " AUTO"; the indicator
lamp in the button goes off and
the indicator lamp in the " AUTO"
button comes on.
The system reverts to the previous settings.
With Stop & Start, when demisting -
defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available.
Recirculation of the
interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of condensation on the windscreen and side
windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.This allows hot or cold air to be delivered
quickly when required.
F
P
ress this button to recirculate
the interior air; the symbol
appears or its indicator lamp
comes on (depending on
ve r s i o n).
F
P
ress this button again to allow
exterior air into the passenger
compartment. The symbol
disappears or the indicator lamp
goes off (depending on version).
Avoid prolonged use of air recirculation –
Risk of condensation and deterioration of
air quality!

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
When lit up fixed, this warning lamp
indicates a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBD) is defective.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly. In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
Deactivation
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Deactivating using the button
F P ress this button.
The button indicator lamp comes on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.

Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P, depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6
mph (10
km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Electronic immobiliser
The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in. In the event of a fault, you are
informed by lighting of this warning
lamp in the instrument panel, an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
