The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance rules below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, do not hesitate t o ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
P l a c e t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l a t a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l t o p r o v i d e a n a d e q u a t e r e n e w a l
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.
Favour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the a ir recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the automatic 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.

m e n t ( r e d u c t i o n o f a l l e r g i c s y m p t o m s , b a d o d o u r s a n d g r e a s y d e p o s i t s ) .
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 and 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.

case, it activates the air recirculation
automatically.

Special position of the windscreen wipers Automatic windscreen wiping
The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor

speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver by
pushing lever A to the "AUTO" position.
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction display. In the minute following switching off
of the ignition, any action on the stalk
positions the wipers in the centre of the
windscreen.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, clean-
ing or replacement.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the stalk.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the brightness sen-
sor and located in the centre
of the windscreen behind the interior
mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping when
using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the automatic
wiping. The automatic wiping must be
reactivated if the ignition has
been off for more than one
minute, by pushing lever A down-
wards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving lever A upwards and return-
ing it to position "0" .
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction display. Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermittent
mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
For optimum and lasting

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s

a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install
a wheel which is not detected by
y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g o f s n o w
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " p a r a g r a p h )
to ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear of
the tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.

interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

tem, the indicator light switches off.
Reactivation
Press button 1 again to reactivate
the system.
The last value programmed is retained and the indicator light comes on.
If the indicator light on but-

dealer.
Operating limits
The system switches to standby auto-
matically if the sensor does not detect
t h e v e h i c l e i n f r o n t c o r r e c t l y ( v e r y d i f fi -
cult weather conditions, sensor misad-
justed, ...). A message is displayed on
the multifunction display.
The vehicle being followed may not be
detected in certain conditions such as,
for example:
- when turning,
- when changing lane,
- when the vehicle in front is either too far ahead (maximum range of
the sensor: 100 m) or stationary (in
a t r a f fi c j a m , . . . ) .
When the vehicle being followed is ex-
cessively near (time between the two
vehicles less than 0.5 seconds), the dis-

Programming the alert value
Select the alert value required using
button 2 , in steps of 0.1 second:
- up to increase: "+",
- down to decrease: "-".
Example with a value of 2 seconds:
This system is not an anti-collision
radar and it does not act of the move-
ment of your vehicle. It is informative
and cannot, in any circumstances,
take the place of the vigilance and
responsibility of the driver.
Press button 1 , the indicator light
comes on.
The system is activated but will only ope-
rate from 45 mph (70 km/h).
The alert value can be programmed to
between 0.9 second and 2.5 seconds.
The visual alert can be deactivated by
programming a value of 0 second. When the time (in seconds) between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front is
less than the programmed time (alert
v a l u e ) , a v i s u a l a l e r t fl a s h e s .
A safety time of 2 seconds is
recommended in normal driv-

and speed) to avoid a collision
in the event of emergency
braking.

The parking assistance sys-
tem cannot, in any circum-
stances, replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on
the part of the driver.
The parking assistance is
switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for-
ward gear. Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deactivated
automatically when a trailer is
being towed or when a bicycle

bar or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking as-
sistance audible signals. If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears on
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.
