COMFORT
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the o peration and main-
tenance 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.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the 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.

compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
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 a nd contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

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.

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
behind the interior mirror), adapting their
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 po-
sitions 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, coupled
with the brightness sensor and lo-
cated in the centre of the windscreen
behind the interior mirror.
Switch off the automatic wip-
ing when using an automatic car
wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the auto-
matic wiping. The automatic wiping must be re-
activated if the ignition has been off
for more than one minute, by push-
ing lever
A downwards.
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

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m m u s t
be carried out by 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
snow 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 the
" 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.

as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.

panied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction dis-
play locating the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

DRIVING
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involuntary
c r o s s i n g o f l o n g i t u d i n a l t r a f fi c l a n e
markings on the ground (continuous or
discontinuous line).
S e n s o r s , fi t t e d b e l o w t h e f r o n t b u m p e r ,
trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts
(speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full potential
above all when used on motorways and
main roads. The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. Deactivation
Press button A again, the indicator
light switches off.
Activation
Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Operating fault
If the indicator light on the button switches
off while the system is active, this indi-
cates a malfunction.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The detection may be disrupted:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow, ...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the
driver’s seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed on
the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on
the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for ap-
p r o x i m a t e l y 2 0 s e c o n d s a f t e r t h e d i -
rection indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (arrow) or non-standard
m a r k i n g ( g r a f fi t i ) i s c r o s s e d .
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.

DRIVING
Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r
or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT ).
Reactivation
Press button A again, the warning
light switches off, the system is
reactivated.
Press button A , the warning light
comes on, the system is fully
deactivated. In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning light is displayed on
the instrument panel and/or a
message appears on the multi-
function display, accompanied by an au-
dible signal (short beep), when reverse
gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
