Access to the retractable screen
This screen is opened and stored auto-
matically.
However, you can also open it, store it
and adjust it using the various manual
controls:
- opening or storing by means of con-trol A ,
- angle adjustments by means of con- trol B .
It is also fi tted with safety auto-reverse
protection.
Opening the screen

 With the screen stored, press con-
trol A to open it.
The screen opens automatically when
the ignition is switched on, when the au-
dio and telematics system is switched
on, when an outgoing telephone call is
made, when a voice command is given
and when a warning message linked
with the STOP warning light is received. Closing the screen

 With the screen open, press con-
trol A to store it.
The screen is stored automatically
when the ignition is switched off, after
approximately three seconds, if the au-
dio and telematics system is off.
If you wish the screen to open
or close automatically when
the audio and telematics sys-
tem is switched on or off, the screen
must not be closed when the audio
and telematics system is operating. When the screen is open, you can ad-
just it precisely in different ways:

 press the corresponding part of con-
trol B to move the screen towards
you or towards the windscreen,
or

 push or pull the screen gently by
hand.
Adjusting the position of the screen
Safety auto-reverse
If the screen meets an obstacle as it
opens or closes, the movement stops
immediately and is reversed by a few
millimetres.
After clearing the obstacle, issue the
command required again. Storing the position of the screen
The system has four pre-set positions
in its memory.
Each time the screen is closed, the
system stores the last position of the
screen.
Each time the screen is re-opened, the
system returns the screen to the pre-set
position closest to that stored.
If you close the screen dur-
ing operation of the audio and
telematics system, it will only
re-open automatically when an out-
going telephone call is made, when
a voice command is given or when
a warning message linked with the
STOP warning light is received.

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.
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 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.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" sectio n).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter . Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the pu rifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger co mpart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposit 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.

Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the system
by changing a setting. The other func-
tions will still be controlled automati-
cally.

 Pressing the "AUTO" button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
 Press this button to switch
off the air conditioning. 6. Air distribution adjustment
