Demisting/defrosting
The control button is located
on the air conditioning system
control panel.
REAR SCREEN DEMIST/DEFROST

 Switch off the demist/
defrost of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon
as it is no longer necessary
as lower current consump-
tion results in reduced fuel
consumption.
Switching on
The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.

 Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the door mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.
Switching off
The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.

 It is possible to stop the demist/
defrost operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the demisting in winter, above 0 °C.
Switching on

 Press the "A/C" button, the associ-
ated indicator lamp comes on.

The air conditioning does not op-
erate when the air fl ow adjustment
control 2 is in position "0".
Switching off

 Press the "A/C" button again, the as-
sociated indicator lamp switches off.

 switch on the air conditioning by
pressing the "A/C" button.
The marking on the control
panel indicates the position of
the controls to quickly demist
or defrost the windscreen and
side windows:

 place the air intake control 4 in the
"Exterior air intake" position (indica-
tor lamp off),

 place the air distribution dial 3 in the
"Windscreen position",

 place the air fl ow dial 2 in position 5
(maximum),

 place the temperature dial 1 in the
red position (hot),

59
By means of the air quality
sensor, the system also opti-
mises the air quality. On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much
colder or warmer than the
comfort value, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to obtain the comfort required more
quickly. The system corrects the dif-
ference in temperature automatically
and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.

 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 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3. 4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).

 In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator lamp on the
button comes on. 2-3. Driver-passenger side
adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

 To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator lamp on the but-
ton switches off or the indicator lamp
on the "AUTO" button comes on.
1. Automatic comfort programme To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.

64
Heated seats control
With the engine running, the front seats
can be heated separately.

 Use the adjustment dial, placed on
the side of each front seat, to switch
on and select the level of heating
required:

0
: Off.

1
: Low.

2
: Medium.

3
: High.
Head restraint height and angle
adjustment

 To raise the head restraint, pull it for-
wards and upwards at the same time.

 To remove the head restraint, press
the lug A and pull the head restraint
upwards.

 To put the head restraint back in
place, engage the head restraint
stems in the openings keeping them
in line with the seat back.

 To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A and the head restraint at
the same time.

 To adjust the angle of the head re-
straint, tilt its lower part forwards or
rearwards. The head restraint is fi tted with
a frame with notches which
prevents it from lowering; this
is a safety device in case of
impact.

The adjustment is correct when the upper edge of the head restraint is
level with the top of the head.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be in place and
adjusted correctly.
Lumbar adjustment

 Turn the dial to obtain the correct
lumbar position.

The key cannot be removed
from the lock until the cap is
put back on the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is
completely normal, is caused by the
sealing of the fuel system.

it from the cap,

 close the fi ller fl ap.

 remove the cap and secure it on the
hook, located on the inside of the
fl ap,

 fi ll the tank, but do not continue af-
ter the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle ;
this could cause malfunctions.
Low fuel level
Operating fault
A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indi-
cated by the return to zero of the fuel
level indicator needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refueling
A label affi xed to the inside of the fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge. When the fuel tank minimum
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen.
When the lamp fi rst comes on, you have
approximately 6 litres of fuel remaining.
You must refuel to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), re-
fer also to the "Checks" section.
