COMFORT
   
If after an extended stop in sunshine, 
the interior temperature is very high, 
fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few moments.  
Put the air fl ow 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.  RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING 
 
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below: 
   
 
 ) 
  To 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. 
   
 ) 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used 
for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. 
   
 ) 
  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or 
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order. 
   
 ) 
  Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition 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 special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation  of 
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits). 
   
 ) 
  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also 
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the servicing 
booklet. 
   
 ) 
  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed 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.     
The condensation created by the 
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle 
which is perfectly normal.  
 
   
 
Stop & Start 
  The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is run-
ning. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, 
you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see "Driving").

Lost keys 
 
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your per-
sonal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label. 
  The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transpond-
er code required to order a new key.     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Do not throw the remote control 
batteries away, they contain metals 
which are harmful to the environ-
ment. 
  Take them to an approved collection 
point. 
   
Remote control 
 The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your 
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it. 
  Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of 
your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have 
to be reinitialised. 
  The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.  
 
 
Locking the vehicle 
 
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency. 
  However, the vehicle unlocks automatically in the event of a serious impact 
causing airbag deployment. 
  As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the igni-
tion switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.  
 
 
Anti-theft protection 
 
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system; 
this could cause malfunctions.  
 
 
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle 
 
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.

ACCESS
  More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel 
gauge. FUEL TANK
   
Capacity of the tank: approximately 
60 litres. 
 
  The key cannot be removed from 
the lock until the cap is put back on 
the tank. 
  Opening the cap may cause an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is 
perfectly normal, is caused by the 
sealing of the fuel system.  
 
 
Low fuel level 
   
Operating fault 
 
A fuel gauge malfunction is indicated by 
the return of the fuel gauge needle to 
zero. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
Filling 
 
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be 
used according to your engine.   When the low fuel level is 
reached, this warning lamp 
comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an 
audible signal and an alert message. 
When it fi rst comes on, you have  ap-
proximately 6 litres 
 of fuel remaining. 
  Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this 
warning lamp comes on every time the 
ignition is switched on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a message. 
When driving, this audible signal and 
the display of the alert message are re-
peated with increasing frequency as the 
fuel level drops towards  "0" 
. 
  Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel. 
  If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also 
to the "Checks" section.  
   
 
 
 
 
 
With Stop & Start, never refuel with 
the system in STOP mode; you 
must switch off the ignition with the 
key.     
 ) 
  remove the cap and secure it on the 
hook, located on the inside of the 
fl ap, 
   
 ) 
 
fi ll the tank, but  do not continue after 
the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle 
; this could 
cause malfunctions.  
 
When fi lling is complete:

MISFUEL PREVENTION(DIESEL)  *
 
Mechanical device which prevents fi lling 
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It 
avoids the risk of engine damage that can 
result from fi lling with the wrong fuel. 
  Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel 
prevention device appears when the 
fi ller cap is removed. 
 
 
Operation 
 
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced 
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel 
vehicle, it comes into contact with the 
fl ap. The system remains closed and 
prevents fi lling. 
   
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel 
type fi ller nozzle. 
 
   It remains possible to use a fuel 
can to fi ll the tank.  
In order to ensure a good fl ow  of 
fuel, do not place the nozzle of the 
fuel can in direct contact with the 
fl ap of the misfuel prevention de-
vice and pour slowly. 
   
 
Travelling abroad 
  As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may 
be different in other countries, the 
presence of the misfuel prevention 
device may make refuelling impos-
sible. 
  Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend that you check with the 
PEUGEOT dealer network, wheth-
er your vehicle is suitable for the 
fuel pumps in the country in which 
you want to travel.

SAFETY
  The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving, 
but this should not encourage the 
driver to take extra risks or drive at 
high speed. 
  The correct functioning of these 
systems depends on observation 
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on: 
   
 
-   wheels (tyres and rims), 
   
-  braking components, 
   
-  electronic components, 
   
-   repair and assembly procedures.  
  After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
     
 
Deactivation 
  In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in 
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP 
systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip. 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button, locat-
ed in the middle of the dashboard.  
 
If this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the indicator 
lamp in the button come on, this indi-
cates that the ASR and ESP systems 
are deactivated. 
  On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp 
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.  
 
 
Reactivation 
  These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched 
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (ex-
cept in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 
200 hp petrol engine). 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button again 
to reactivate them manually.     
Operating fault 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
TRAJECTORY CONTROLSYSTEMS 
 
 
Activation 
  These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
  They come into operation in the event 
of a grip or trajectory problem. 
   
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and 
electronic stability programme 
(ESP) 
  This is indicated by fl ashing  of 
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.  
     
The anti-slip regulation (also known as 
Traction Control) optimises traction to 
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels 
and on the engine. 
  The electronic stability programme acts 
on the brake of one or more wheels and 
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 
trajectory required by the driver, within 
the limits of the laws of physics.    On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates the automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps.
