MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAYS
Access to the retractable screen
Opening the screen

 With the screen stored, press con-
trol A to open it.
The screen opens automatically when
the ignition is switched on, when the
audio and telematics system is switched
on, when an outgoing telephone call
is made, when a voice command is
given and when a warning message
linked with the STOP warning light is
received.
This screen is opened and stored auto-
matically.
However, you can also open it, store it
and adjust it using the various manual
controls:
- opening or storing by means of con-
trol A ,
- angle adjustments by means of con- trol B .
It is also fi tted with safety auto-reverse
protection. Closing the screen

 With the screen open, press control

A to store it.
The screen is stored automatically
when the ignition is switched off, after
approximately three seconds, if the au-
dio and telematics system is off.
If you wish the screen to open or
close automatically when the audio
and telematics system is switched
on or off, the screen must not be
closed when the audio and telemat-
ics system is operating. When the screen is open, you can ad-
just it precisely in different ways:

 press the corresponding part of con-
trol B to move the screen towards
you or towards the windscreen,
or

 push or pull the screen gently by
hand.
Adjusting the position of the screen
Safety auto-reverse
If the screen meets an obstacle as it
opens or closes, the movement stops
immediately and is reversed by a few
millimetres.
After clearing the obstacle, issue the
command required again. Storing the position of the screen
The system has four pre-set positions
in its memory.
Each time the screen is closed, the
system stores the last position of the
screen.
Each time the screen is re-opened, the
system returns the screen to the pre-set
position closest to that stored.
If you close the screen during op-
eration of the audio and telematics
system, it will only re-open auto-
matically when an outgoing tele-
phone call is made, when a voice
command is given or when a warn-
ing message linked with the STOP
warning light is received.

COMFORT
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance rules below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, do not hesitate t o ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate re-
newal of air in the passenger compartment.

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

 We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter .
Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to t he purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of th e passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

 To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning syste m, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, installing the windstop and using the neck
heaters improves comfort.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engi ne power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

3COMFORT

 Pull the windstop forwards to re-
lease the guides from the points,
located behind each corner of the
back of the rear bench seat.

 Fold the windstop frame guides. Storing
In the storage box (version

 Raise the boot carpet and hook its
handle on the boot seal.

 Store the folded windstop in the cor-

 Stow the folded windstop securing it
using the luggage retaining net.

 Fold the windstop closing the two
large parts on themselves.

 Unclip each end individually.

 Fold each of the two parts on them-
selves.

DRIVING
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the handbrake to
immobilise the vehicle. Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning light, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
emergency mode and is locked in 3rd
gear. You may feel a substantial knock
when changing from P to R and from N
to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light may also come on if a
door is opened.
If the battery is fl at and the lever is
in position P , it will not be possible
to change to another position.
Above all, do not force the lever as
this could damage the gearbox.

the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.

P ,
when the driver’s door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears.

 Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the

gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
