Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions.

Head-up display

This system projects speed and cruise control/speed limiter information onto a smoked strip
in the driver's field of vision, so that they do not need to take their eyes off the road.

Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfor t, the system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.

Advice on interior settings

20
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A" , according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,use engine braking rather than thebrake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contributetowards a reduction in fuel consumption andCO2emissions and also helps reduce thebackground traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make useof the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.














































Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.

Heating and Ventilation


Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compar tment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Controls

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the
front passenger and rear passengers, according to the level of equipment.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you toselect the air vents used in the passenger compar tment by the combined use of theassociated buttons.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are
grouped together on controlpanel Aon the centre console.

Air distribution
System which creates and maintains goodconditions of comfor t and visibility in the
vehicle's passenger compar tment.

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sunfor a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compar tment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.)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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation maycause misting of the windows and side windows.)Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.)Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep itin good working order. )Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar tment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in anincrease in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improvestowing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under thevehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.)To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, 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 or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
) Press this button to recirculatethe interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.
) Press the button again to permit
the intake of exterior air.
The indicator lamp goes off
to confirm this.
The intake o
f exterior air prevents the formationof mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the passenger compar tment from exterior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air qualit
y and the formation of mist.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.

It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3 °C.

Switching on
)
Press the "A/C"button, the associated green indicator lamp comes on. The air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow adjustment is set to off.

Automatic operation


1. Automatic comfort programme
)
Press this "AUTO"button. The indicator lamp comes on.

We recommend that you use this mode. It
automatically adjusts all settings to provide
optimum operation for the comfor t level chosen: passenger compar tment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation.
This system is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum levelgradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to thewindscreen, side windows and footwells only.


2 - 3. Driver-passenger sideadjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.

The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
)Turn control 2or 3to the left (blue) or to the right (red)
respectively to decrease or increase this value.

A setting around the value 21 providesoptimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a settin
g between 18 and 24 is
normal.
It is recommended that the difference between
left and right should not be greater 3.
The air conditionin
g can only operate with the engine running.
