Automatic day/night model

By means of a sensor, which measures the
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses. Adjustable mirror providing a central rear ward
view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which
darkens the mirror glass: this reduces
the nuisance to the driver caused by the
headlamps from following vehicles, low sun...





Rear view mirror



Manual day/night model

Adjustment



)
Adjust the mirror so that the glass is
directed correctly in the "day" position.



Day/night position



)
Pull the lever to change to the "night" anti-
dazzle position.

)
Push the lever to change to the normal
"day" position.


In order to ensure optimum visibility
during your manoeuvres, the mirror
lightens automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.










Steering wheel adjustment




)
When stationary
, lower the control lever
to release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism.

)
Adjust the height and reach to suit your
driving position.

)
Pull the control lever to lock the steering
wheel adjustment mechanism.
As a safety precaution, these
operations should only be carried out
while the vehicle is stationary.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should
be adjusted to reduce the "blind spot".

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.

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which
comes within the field of detection of sensors
located in the bumper.
Cer tain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Rear parking sensors


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is also displayed in the screen.

Driving

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dir ty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front
or behind.
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).








Front parking sensors



The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).



Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
button. The indicator lamp in the button comes
on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button goes
off.

System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:


- the possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances needed for
manoeuvring,

- the level of difficulty of the parking
manoeuvre.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The warning lamp in the control A

can have two different states:
Displays



- on fixed:
the system is switched on by a
press on control A
.

- off:
the system is not switched on.

Driving

Operation

When you have identified a parking space:


)
Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put
the gear lever in position A
(electronic gear
control gearbox) or in position D
(automatic
gearbox).

)
Press button A
to star t the system.

)
Operate the direction indicator on the
side where the space is to be measured;
a message is displayed and the warning
lamp flashes to confirm that measurement
is in progress.

)
During measurement, go for ward the
length of the space, at a speed less than
12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your
manoeuvre.

)
Once the measurement has been
completed, the system informs you of
the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre
by a message in the multifunction screen
accompanied by an audible signal.

The system displays one of the following messages:


Parking possible


Parking difficult


Parking not advised


If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
great, the system may not be able to
measure the space.

The system remains available after
each measurement and can therefore
measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are free of dir t, ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system
deactivates the front parking sensors
when measuring for wards.
If there is a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically:


- when you engage reverse gear,

- when you switch off the ignition,

- if measuring is not requested,

- within five minutes of switching on the
system,

- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold
of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.
