Daytime lights
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold, the vehicle may
be equipped with daytime lights. The
dipped headlamps come on when the
vehicle is started.
Rear fog lamps (amber, 2nd
rotation of the ring forwards).
Front fog lamps (green, 1st
rotation of the ring forwards).
Front and rear fog lamps
Rotate ring
B forwards to switch on and
rearwards to switch off. The status is
confi rmed by the light on the instrument
panel.
These operate with the side lights and
the dipped beam headlamps.
Do not forget to switch them off
when they are no longer needed.
Automatic switching on of the lights
switches off the rear fog lamps, but the
front fog lamps remain on. This warning light comes on
on the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, display, air
conditioning control panel, ...)
are only lit on switching to the automatic
switching on of the lights mode or when
the lights are switched on manually.
To switch off the front and rear fog
lamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear fog lamps dazzle and
are prohibited. Automatic switching on of the lights
In foggy weather or in snow,
the brightness sensor can detect
suffi cient light. As a consequence,
the lights will not come on automatically.
If necessary, you must switch on the
dipped headlamps manually.
Do not cover the brightness
sensor located on the windscreen,
behind the mirror. It is used for
the automatic switching on of the lights
and for the automatic wipers.
Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lights stalk. The side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch
on automatically if
the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.

Intake of exterior air
Recirculation of interior air Air conditioning A/C
The diode on the button
is off. This is the preferred
operating position. 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.
The air conditioning does not operate
if the air fl ow is set to 0.
The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The diode on the button is
lit. Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the force of
blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required
ambient air comfort level more quickly
with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
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 avoid misting.
This operating mode is preferable.

Ventilation
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27
by turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance
to reach the comfort value set.
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the fascia.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of
air in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required. When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle
is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

Manual operation
You can, according to your
requirements, make a different selection
from that offered by the system by
changing a setting. The other functions
will still be controlled automatically.
Pressing the AUTO button restores fully
automatic operation.
Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession directs
the air fl ow towards:
- the windscreen,
- the windscreen and footwells,
- the footwells,
- the side vents, central vents and footwells,
- the side vents and central vents. Air fl ow
Press the
small fan button to
reduce the fl ow or the large
fan button to increase the fl ow.
On the display, the blades of the fan fi ll
when the fl ow is increased.
Switching the air
conditioning On/Off
Press this button, the A/C
symbol is displayed and the
air conditioning is activated.
Deactivating the system
Press the air fl ow
small fan
button until the fan symbol
disappears from the display.
This action deactivates all
of the system’s functions, with the
exception of the air recirculation and
rear screen demisting (if fi tted on your
vehicle). Your comfort setting is no
longer maintained and is switched off.
For your comfort, do not deactivate the
system for long periods. Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to
recirculate the interior air.
The recirculation symbol is
displayed.
Pressing the large fan
button or the AUTO button
reactivates the system with
the values set before it was
deactivated. Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Avoid prolonged
operation in interior air recirculation
mode (risk of condensation, odour and
humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Pressing this button again switches off
the air cooling.
The ventilation outlet, located in the
glove box, diffuses cool air (if the
air conditioning is on) regardless
of the reference temperature requested
in the passenger compartment and
regardless of the exterior temperature.

GOOD PRACTICE
Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7. Air conditioning
In all seasons, 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.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow 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 a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Air bags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the
air bags infl ate instantly and protect
the occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not
be deployed; the seat belt alone
is suffi cient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
"Identifi cation features" section of
chapter 9) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk linked with fi tting
a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by PEUGEOT . Fitting
such equipment could result in the
failure of your vehicle’s electronic
system. Please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information before fi tting this
type of equipment. OTHER ACCESSORIES
These accessories and parts, having
been tested and approved for reliability
and safety, are all adapted to your
