current reduces fuel consumption.
Programmed heating 
(Electric)
This function allows you to programme the vehicle to adjust the passenger compartment 
temperature to a pre-defined, non-modifiable 
temperature (approx. 21°C) before you enter the 
vehicle, on the days and times of your choice.
Programming
(With PEUGEOT Connect Nav)
In the Climate > OPTIONS  menu:
Select Temperature conditioning . 
►  Press + to programme.
►  Select the time of entry into the vehicle and 
the desired days. Press OK.
►  Press ON to activate this programming.
Heating begins approximately 45 minutes before 
the programmed time, and is maintained for 10 
minutes afterwards.
You can define multiple programmings. Each one is saved in the system.
To optimise battery life, we recommend 
programming with the vehicle plugged in.
► Depending on version, press this button or 
switch.
Its indicator lamp comes on the other indicator 
lamps for the system go off.
This action deactivates all functions of the air 
conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. 
A slight 
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward 
movement of the vehicle.
Front demisting 
- defrosting
Automatic Visibility  programme
This mode allows the windscreen and side 
windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly 
as possible.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate 
the mode (confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the
  indicator lamp).
The programme automatically manages the air 
conditioning (depending on version), air flow 
and air intake, and provides optimum distribution 
towards the windscreen and side windows.
It is possible to manually change the air flow 
without deactivating the automatic Visibility 
programme.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has 
been activated, STOP mode is not 
available.
In wintry conditions, remove all snow or 
ice on the windscreen near the camera 
before moving off.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment 
associated with the camera may be affected.
Heated windscreen 
 
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of 
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside 
the left-hand windscreen pillar.
Without changing the settings for the air 
conditioning system, it allows faster release 
of the windscreen wiper blades when they are 
frozen to the windscreen and helps to prevent 
the accumulation of snow resulting from the 
operation of the windscreen wipers.
On/Off 
 
 
 
► With the engine running, press this button to 
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by an 
indicator lamp).
The function is activated when the exterior 
temperature drops below 0°C. It is deactivated 
automatically when the engine is switched off.
Rear screen demisting/
defrosting
Demisting/defrosting only operates with the 
engine running.
Depending on version, this also applies to the 
door mirrors.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate 
the function (confirmed by the 
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically 
to prevent an excessive consumption of 
electrical current.

headlamps
This system automatically adjusts the height of 
the headlamp beams according to the load in the 
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
The system then places the headlamp beams in 
the lowest position.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not touch the "Full LED" technology 
headlamps - risk of electrocution!
Automatic illumination of  headlamps
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and 
a low level of ambient light is detected by 
the rain/sunshine sensor
, the number plate 
lamps,
  sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps 
are switched on automatically, without any action 
on the part of the driver. They can also come on 
if rain is detected, at the same time as automatic 
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient 
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched 
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lighting 
comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in 
the instrument panel, accompanied by an 
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor 
located at the top centre of the 
windscreen behind the interior rear view 
mirror; the associated functions would no 
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor 
may detect sufficient light. In this case, 
the lighting will not come on automatically.
Guide-me-home and 
welcome lighting
Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic
With the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the 
light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps come

Lighting and visibility
4This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp 
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►
 
A
  "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Dipped beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to main 
beam,
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Main beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to 
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps 
again.
The system may suffer interference or  not work correctly:
–
 
under conditions of poor visibility (snow
 , 
heavy rain, etc.),
–
 
if the windscreen in front of the camera is 
dirty
, misted or obscured (for example, by a 
sticker, etc.),
–
 
if the vehicle is facing highly reflective 
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it 
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–
 
road users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–
 
vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for 
example: vehicles running behind a safety 
barrier on a motorway),
– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep 
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the 
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera. 
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
obstruct the detection camera.
Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or 
frost present on the windscreen, around 
the wiper arms and blades and on the 
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry 
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold 
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are 
not stuck to the windscreen before operating 
the wipers.

Automatic. 
Refer to the corresponding section.
If the ignition has been switched off with 
the windscreen wiper active, it is 
necessary to operate the control stalk to 
reactivate the wiping when the ignition is 
switched on (unless the ignition is off for less 
than 1
  minute).
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is 
automatically reduced when the speed of 
the vehicle drops below 3
  mph (5   km/h).

again, the wiping frequency returns to the 
original frequency (fast or normal).
Single wipe
► Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
Front screenwash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and 
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate 
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
A
 final wiping cycle is performed when 
screenwashing ends.

action on the screenwash control results 
in temporary closure of the air intake to avoid 
odours inside the passenger compartment.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do  not operate the screenwash if the 
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no 
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen 
and hindering visibility. During the winter 
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.

Practical information
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any 
risk of injury resulting from an automatic 
change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet  release lever prevents opening the 
bonnet when the left-hand front door is 
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay 
with care (risk of burns), using the protected 
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to 
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy 
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after 
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that 
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
The snow chains must be fitted only to  the front wheels. They must never be 
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your 
country on the use of snow chains and 
the maximum authorised speed.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type 
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 185/65 R15 9 mm
195/55 R16 9 mm
205/45 R17 Not suitable for  chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips 
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the 
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►
 
Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of the vehicle.
►
 
Fit the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer
.
►
 
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 
without exceeding 31
  mph (50   km/h).
►
 
Stop the vehicle and check that the snow 
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before 
you leave, you practise fitting the snow 
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  that have been cleared of snow to avoid 
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road 
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy 
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its 
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of 
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient 
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still 
use functions such as the audio and telematic 
system, the wipers and the dipped beam 
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined 
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when 
energy economy mode is entered, and the active 
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the 
time, it will be maintained for around 10 
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free 
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the 
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–
 
For less than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–
 
For more than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T
o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or 
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from  starting.
For more information on the  12
  V battery, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain 
functions, such as the air conditioning and the 
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
