OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR
GEARBOX

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before using
the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sun roof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic digital regulation, as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require their
use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

VENTILATION


AIR INTAKE

The air circulating in the passenger compartment is fi ltered and
originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


AIR FLOW PATHS

The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls
selected by the driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfort
required by mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the
passenger compartment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation blower.


CONTROL PANEL

The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A
on
the centre console. The functions offered are:


- the level of comfort required,

- air fl ow,

- air distribution,

- demisting/defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.



AIR DIFFUSION



1.
Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.

2.
Front side window demisting/defrosting vents.

3.
Side adjustable air vents.

4.
Central adjustable air vents.

5.
Air outlets to the front footwells.

3/
EASE OF USE AND COMFORT
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines below:


)
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.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard;
this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes,
once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good
condition and have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer
to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment fi lter. Thanks to its special active additive,
it contributes to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you
are also advised to refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for information on when it should be checked.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the
available engine power and so improves towing performance.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer.









RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

AUTOAUTOA/C

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING
The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.


AUTOMATIC OPERATION


1. Automatic comfort programme



)
Press the "AUTO"
button. The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits automatic and
optimised adjustment of all of the functions, passenger compartment
temperature, air fl ow, air distribution and air recirculation, in accordance
with the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.

2. Driver's side adjustment

When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air fl ow will reach its optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells only.


3. Passenger side adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the
temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level
of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to the right respectively to decrease
or increase this value..
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right setting difference of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

3/
EASE OF USE AND COMFORT

4. Automatic visibility programme

The automatic comfort programme may not be suffi cient to
quickly demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).


)
In this case, select the automatic visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the air conditioning, the air fl ow and
the air intake and provides optimum distribution of the ventilation to the
windscreen and side windows.


)
To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the
"AUTO"
button, the indicator lamp on the button switches off and
the indicator lamp on the "AUTO"
button comes on.




MANUAL OPERATION

If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the
system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be controlled
automatically.


)
Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns the system to completely
automatic operation.
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum
value 28.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left until "LO"
is displayed or to the
right until "HI"
is displayed.


5. Air conditioning On/Off

conditioning. The indicator lamp on the "A/C"
button comes on.



6. Air distribution adjustment



)
Press one or more buttons to direct the air fl ow towards:


- the windscreen and side windows (demisting or defrosting),

- the windscreen, the side windows and the vents,

- the windscreen, the side windows, the vents and the footwells,

- the vents and the footwells,

- the vents,

- the footwells,

- the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells.




7. Air flow adjustment



)
Turn this control to the left to decrease the air fl ow or to
the right to increase the air fl ow.
The air fl ow indicator lamps, between the two fans, come on
progressively in relation to the value requested.

76
SWITCHING THE SYSTEM OFF



)
Turn the air fl ow control to the left until all of the indicator lamps
switch off.
This action switches off the air conditioning and the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no longer guaranteed but a slight fl ow of
air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.


)
Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or press the "AUTO"
button to
reactivate the system with the values set before it was switched off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or
driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation
and deterioration of the air quality).


8. Air intake/Air recirculation



)
Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The
indicator lamp on the button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from
exterior odours and smoke.


)
As soon as possible, press this button again to permit the intake of
outside air and prevent the formation of condensation. The indicator
lamp on the button switches off.



9. Mono-zone/Dual-zone



)
Press this button to equalise the comfort value on the
passenger's side with that on the driver's side (mono
zone). The indicator lamp on the button comes on.











REAR SCREEN DEMIST - DEFROST


SWITCHING ON

The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine
is running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost the rear screen and (depending
on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.



SWITCHING OFF

The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an
excessive consumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it
is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The
indicator lamp associated with the button switches off.
If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.


)
Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door
mirrors as soon as appropriate as lower current consumption
results in reduced fuel consumption.
The control button is located on the heating or air conditioning
system control panel.

CHECKS





























CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

BATTERY


AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER


OIL FILTER









PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)


On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle fi lter regeneration operations
may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical
information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
