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
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 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
results 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
advised 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.

1. Temperature adjustment
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.
















The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air limits misting
of the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
air quality and demisting performance.

)
If you place the air fl ow
control in position 0
(dea-
ctivation of the system), the
temperature is no longer
maintained at a comfortable
level. However, a slight fl ow
of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be
felt.


3. Air distribution adjustment


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.

defrost operation before it is
switched off automatically by pres-
sing the button again. The indica-
tor lamp associated with the button
switches off.


5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in

COMFORT
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 can only operate
with the engine 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 windows
(humidity, several passengers,
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.

ACCESS

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.











Anti-theft protection

In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.


For more information, refer to the
"Practical information - Energy
economy mode" section.











Starting the vehicle



)
Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting
code.

A heavy object (key fob...), at-
tached to the key and weigh-
ing down on its shaft in the
ignition switch, could cause a
malfunction.

78
ACCESS














Lost keys

Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment
by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition
switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.


When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.

From outside

87
ACCESS

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.

)
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
gauge needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.


Refuelling

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 low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen. When the
lamp fi rst comes on, there is approxi-
mately
6 litres
of fuel remaining.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the
ignition is switched on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message. When
driving, this audible signal and message
are repeated with increasing frequency,
as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
You must refuel to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer
also to the "Checks" section.






With Stop & Start, never re-
fuel with the system in STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key.
