- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL" ,
linked with the service warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check

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.

this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),
- B = min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
REAR VENTILATION ADJUSTMENT
After pressing the "REAR" button, turn
the adjustment dial of the rear side
vents to decrease or increase the fl ow
of air.
Take care not to obstruct the side vents
and the air outlets on the fl oor.
To shut off the fl ow of air, close the vents
and set the dial to 0.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the
operation and
maintenance guidelines below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high aft er the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passen ger 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.

 Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air
recirculation 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, 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 cleanliness of the passenge r compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposit s).

 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.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and i mproves towing
capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is perfectly normal. The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.

2. Air fl ow adjustment
 Turn the dial from position 1
to position 5 to obtain a com-
fortable air fl ow.
Windscreen, side windows
and front-rear footwells. Footwells, front-rear
(closing the vents increases
the fl ow to the footwells).
Central, side and rear vents.

 Turn the dial from blue
(cold) to red (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your re-
quirements.
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 limits misting
of the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment from exterior
odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
air quality and demisting performance.

 I
f you place the air fl ow control
in position 0 (deactivation of
the system), the temperature
is no longer maintained at a

of air, due to the movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.

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

 Switch off the demist/de-
frost 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 automati-
cally to prevent an excessive consumption
of current.

 It is possible to stop the demist/de-
frost operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the
button again. The indicator lamp as-
sociated 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 de- misting 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".

associated 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
