COMFORT
The air conditioning only operates
with the engine running.
Automatic operation
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
air l ow will reach its optimum level
gradually.
3. Passenger side setting The driver and his front
passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their re-
quirements.
The value indicated on the
display corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 pro-
vides optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is normal. For optimum comfort, you are ad-
vised to avoid a left/right setting dif-
ference of more than 3.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to go below the value 15 by turning un-
til
"LO" is displayed or above the value
27 by turning until "HI" is displayed.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may prove inad-
equate to quickly demist or
de-ice the windscreen and
side windows (because of hu-
midity, numerous passengers, ice, etc.).
In these cases, select the automatic
visibility programme. The button 4 in-
dicator light comes on.
The system automatically controls
the air conditioning, the air l ow and
the air intake and provides optimum
distribution of the ventilation to the
windscreen and side windows.
To switch it off, press button 4 again
or press the "AUTO" button, the but-
ton's indicator light switches off and

"AUTO" is displayed.
1. Automatic comfort programme
Press the "AUTO" button.
The "AUTO" symbol is dis-
played.
We recommend the use of
this mode: it permits auto-
matic and optimised adjustment of all
of the functions, passenger compart-
ment temperature, air l ow, air dis-
tribution and air recirculation, in line
with the value that you have select-
ed. This system is designed to oper-
ate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
In the cabriolet position, the effective-
ness of the system may be reduced. 2. Driver's side setting
DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort val-
ue, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in
temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

COMFORT
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from the one offered by the
system, by changing a setting. The
other functions will still be managed
automatically.
Press the "AUTO" button to return to
completely automatic operation.
Press this button to stop the
air cooling.
Avoid prolonged use of this
mode (risk of condensation,
odour, humidity).
Press this button again as soon as
possible to return to automatic op-
eration of the air conditioning. The

"A/C" symbol is displayed.
6. Air distribution adjustment Successive presses of this
button allow the air l ow to
be directed alternately to:
- the windscreen and the side win- dows (demisting or de-icing),
- the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells,
- the footwells,
- the central vents, the side vents and the footwells,
- the central and side vents. 7. Air l ow adjustment
Press the
"small fan" or "large fan"
button respectively to decrease or in-
crease the air l ow.
The air l ow symbol, the fan, i lls pro-
gressively in relation to the value re-
quired.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation 9. De-icing the rear window and
the mirrors
Switching the system off
Press the "small fan" button of the
air l ow 7 until the fan symbol disap-
pears.
This action switches off all of the
functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem, with the exception of the demist-
ing of the rear screen 9 .
Temperature-related comfort is no
longer guaranteed but a slight l ow of
air, due to the movement of the vehi-
cle, can still be felt.
Pressing the "large fan" button of
the air l ow 7 again or the AUTO but-
ton again reactivates the system with
the values set before it was switched
off.
Press this button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
air recirculation symbol
8 is
displayed.
Air recirculation prevents
the entry of unpleasant odours and
fumes from the outside.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of the
interior air (risk of condensation and
deterioration of the air quality).
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent condensation.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
Press this button to de-ice
the rear screen and the ex-
terior mirrors. The button 9
indicator light comes on.
The de-icing system switch-
es off automatically to pre-
vent an excessive consumption of
current.
It is possible to stop the de-icing be-
fore it switches off automatically by
pressing the button again.

CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Oil level

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Use l uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4
standards.
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would advise
that you use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives in
engine oil is prohibited.
* According to engine.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
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.
Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the braking dis-
tance.
Lights:
check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind:
take into account the increased sen-
sitivity to side wind. CARAVAN, A BOAT, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the i tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not i tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is i tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signii cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a towbar is i tted.
