buttons.
Automatic air conditioning
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
►

Press button
5-AUTO to activate/deactivate
the automatic mode of the air conditioning
system.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
The intensity of the automatic air conditioning
is modulated by choosing one of the following
settings:
–

AUT
O SOFT : provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow.
–

AUT
O NORMAL: offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
–

AUT
O FAST: provides dynamic and efficient
air distribution.
To change the AUTO mode, press button
5-AUTO successively.
To ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour settings AUTO NORMAL and AUTO
FAST.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
Automatic air conditioning manual settings
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
of these functions, while the system retains
automatic control of the other functions:

T
o activate/deactivate the function, press
button 7.
AQS function
Using an exterior pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates the recirculation of
interior air when a certain level of pollutants in
the exterior
air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function is inactive if the outside temperature
is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the
windscreen and side windows.
Clean Air function
Using an interior pollution sensor, this function
detects fine particles (e.g. cigarette smoke,
mould, bacteria).
The management of the recirculation of
interior
air makes it possible to return to a purified
passenger compartment in just a few minutes,
thanks to the passage of air through the high-
performance passenger compartment filter.
If the air quality appears to be reduced, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to change the high-performance passenger
compartment filter.
Air conditioning on/off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed:
–

It lowers the temperature in summer
.
–

It increase the effectiveness of the demisting,
in winter

conditioning on/off.
When the system is switched on, the indicator
lamp in the button comes on or “ A/C” changes

Air conditioning does not operate when the air flow is deactivated.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and, if necessary,
activates interior air recirculation.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
Switching off the air
conditioning system
► Press button 12-OFF.
Its indicator lamp lights up and all the other
indicator lamps of the air conditioning system
go off.
This action deactivates all of the 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.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.

The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
A mat can also be used provided that it is
approved by the Manufacturer.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Start system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted
when a door is opened or the ignition is switched
off.

in its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge multiple devices simultaneously.
Do not leave metal objects (e.g. coins,
keys, vehicle remote control) in the

Automatic illumination of lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “ AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may 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 lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by 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. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the

come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps
are switched on or if the system detects poor
visibility conditions (e.g.
fog, heavy rain,
snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched off or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.

Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with the Peugeot
Matrix LED Technology 2.0 function:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
deactivate the function to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by
segment, depending on the driving conditions
detected.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the
system.
If the system is selected but the display
on the instrument panel and the alerts are
not available, the indicator lamp comes on in
grey.

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
