INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the en-
gine coolant while driving. With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:
- in zone
A , the temperature is
correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
light 1 and the central STOP warning
light come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:

 wait for the engine to cool,

 unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,

 when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,

 top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
Manual Check
System which informs the driver of the
warnings present and of the activated
or deactivated status of the functions.


With the engine running, to start a
manual check, press the "CHECK/000"
button on the instrument panel.
If no "major" faults have been detected,

"CHECK OK" appears on the large in-
strument panel display. If a "minor" fault has been detected, the
warning lights concerned then
"CHECK
OK" appear on the large instrument
panel display. Consult a PEUGEOT

Dipstick
This is indicated by the ﬂ ashing of

"OIL" , linked with the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction dis-
play.
If the lack of oil is conﬁ rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up to prevent damage to
the engine. This is indicated by the ﬂ ashing of

"OIL --" . Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil ﬁ ller cap on your
engine. There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:

1 to position 5 to obtain a
comfortable air ﬂ ow.
Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.
Footwells.
(vents closed) Central and side vents.

 Turn the dial from blue
(cold) to red (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements. Windscreen and side windows.
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 prevents 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
the air quality and avoid misting.

 If you place the air ﬂ ow control
in position 0 (deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfort-
able 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 light comes on to
conﬁ rm this.

 Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
light switches off to conﬁ rm this. MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

De-icing - Demisting
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:

 place the air intake control 4 in the
"Exterior air intake" position,

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

 place the temperature 1 and air ﬂ ow

2 dials at maximum,

 close the central vents, The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel. REAR SCREEN DE-ICING

 Switch off the de-icing of the
rear screen and exterior mir-
rors as soon as you consider
this necessary as lower current
consumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before
the de-icing is switched off auto-
matically, de-icing will resume next
time the engine is switched on.
The de-icing is deactivated when
the retractable roof is stored in the
boot.
Switching on
The rear screen de-icing can only oper-
ate when the engine is running.
Switching off
The de-icing switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of
current.
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 de- misting in winter, above 0 °C.
Switching on

 Press the "A/C" button, the associ-
ated indicator light 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 light switches off.

 above 0 °C, switch on the air condi-
tioning by pressing the "A/C" button.
 Press this button to de-ice the rear
screen and the exterior mirrors. The
indicator light associated with the

 It is possible to stop the de-icing op-
eration before it is switched off au-
tomatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator light associated
with the button switches off.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air ﬂ ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells
only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required. The system cor-
rects the difference in temperature
automatically and as quickly as
possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.

 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 de-ice 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.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator light on the
button comes on. 2. Driver’s side adjustment
DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC 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 effec-
tively in all seasons, with automatic adap-
tation in the "cabriolet" conﬁ guration. 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 light on the but-
ton switches off and the indicator light
on the "AUTO" button comes on.
