In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o 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.
F

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

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment 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 compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F

I
f 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 the
air 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, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough 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 is
perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily
deactivate the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Stop & Start, refer to the corresponding section.

In bad weather and in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered by
road dirt, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the system is deactivated during a
manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate
it manually to repeat the measurement. If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelope
of the vehicle (long or wide load) is not
taken into account by the Park Assist
system during a manoeuvre.

Safety

148
2008_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2016
Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
the system and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
your windscreen replaced.
Never try to remove, adjust or test the
sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the
vehicle is being towed, the system must
be deactivated.
Do not stick or other wise fix any object on
the windscreen in front of the sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a message.
Use the windscreen demisting and regularly
clean the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message "
Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.
