Cause
Action/Observations
STOP
fi xed, alone or associated
with another warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system, power
steering, engine lubrication or
cooling system malfunction or
a punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is
a risk that the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Service
on temporarily. A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the tyre pressures,
- saturation of the particle emission
fi lter (Diesel).
- ...
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
fi xed. A major fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c

fi xed, associated temporarily
with a message on the risk
of blockage of the PEF.
This indicates the start of
saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter.
As soon as traffi c conditions allow, regenerate the
fi lter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph
(60 km/h) until the service warning lamp goes off.
fi xed. This indicates the low level in
the Diesel additive reservoir. Have the level topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.

COMFORT
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance 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 com-
partment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.
)
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.
)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recir-
culation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.
)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.
)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in good 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 second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This re-
sults in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambi-
ent temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and
so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.
)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also ad-
vised to have it checked regularly.
)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.
