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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect working order. )Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar tment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet.)If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting highenough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

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


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which isperfectly normal.




Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintaina comfor table temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivatethe Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

Driving











Stop & Start The Stop & Star t system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine restar ts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restar t takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Star t system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear lever into neutral, and you release theclutch pedal.
-with a 5-speed electronic gearbox , at
speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you
press the brake pedal or put the gear lever in position N.
Never refuel with the engine in STOPmode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
For your comfort, during parkingmanoeuvres, STOP mode is not available for a few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.STOP mode does not affect the functionality of the vehicle, such as for example, braking, power steering...

Special cases: STOP mode not available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph(10 km/h) since the last engine start usingthe key,

- the engine is needed to maintain acomfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, braking assistance,ambient temperature...) where the engine isneeded to assure control of a system.
A tim
e counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
The "ECO"warning lamp flashes for
a few seconds then goes off.
This operation is per fectly normal.

Park Assist


This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
forwards and backwards more than once.

For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically duringmanoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen,accompanied by an audible signal,without affecting the manoeuvre.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Star t. In STOP mode, activationof Park Assist restarts the engine.



The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand betweenthe spokes of the steering wheel andtake care with loose and bulky clothing,scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.

The s
ystem provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
