Ease of use and comfort
as reducing the consumption of electrical
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.
Switch off demisting/defrosting as soon
as you no longer consider it necessary,

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.
Without AUTO wiping



With AUTO wiping

Lighting and visibility
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).
When the speed is above 6
mph (10 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.
With automatic air conditioning, any
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.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.

hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing system, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper via the touch screen’s Driving/
Vehicle menu.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used for cleaning or
replacement of the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.

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.
