33CRUISE CONTROL
"This is the speed at which the driver wishes
to travel".
This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic
conditions enables the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed programmed by the driver,
except when a considerable load is carried
on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least 4th
gear engaged.
If your vehicle is fitted with cruise control,
this is displayed on the instrument panel by
an indicator light located in the rev counter.

35Cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the function is
switched off and the indicator light switches off.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked. Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another. Steering wheel controls

Ventilation
VENTILATION
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open. Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen:
- increase the air flow setting, - move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment. De-icing the rear screen and
mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and
mirrors.
This function switches off automatically
to prevent excessive energy consumption.
It stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function
off.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact your PEUGEOT
dealer.
VENTS
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and 4
side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode can only operate
with the engine running.
Pressing the button triggers the operation of the air conditioning, the diode
is lit. Pressing the button again
switches the function off and the
diode is switched off. Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the blue zone triggers cool air,
- in the red zone triggers heating of the interior ambient air. Air flow
The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4.
Remember to adjust this control in
order to reach the ambient air comfort level.
To switch off the blower, place the control in
position 0.
Air distribution
The air supply distribution is directed by the
control turned towards:
the side vents
and the central vents,

Ventilation
Intake of exterior air This is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and setting of the
force of blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient
air comfort level with both hot or cold
settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting. This
operating mode is preferable.
