Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun
for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air flow control at a sufficient 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 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, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special
active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness
of the passenger compartment (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 ambient 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 per fectly 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 qualified workshop.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

Driving

Emergency braking

In the event of a failure of the main ser vice
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A
will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme (ESP)
provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the
message "Parking brake control faulty" will be
displayed.

If a failure of the ESP system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A
.








Emergency parking brake release


)
if your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle
chock B
, located under the boot floor.

)
On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels, opposing the slope.
On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by
placing a chock in front or behind one of
the front wheels. In the event of fault with the electric parking
brake or a battery failure, an emergency
mechanical control can be used to manually
release
the parking brake.


)
Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the
brake pedal has not been released), with
the engine running, by engaging first gear
(manual gearbox, position P
(automatic
gearbox) or M
or R
(electronic gear control
gearbox).

)
Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition
on. If you are unable to immobilise the
vehicle, do not operate this control and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

The emergency braking must only be
used in exceptional circumstances.
