Memorising driving positions
Associated with the electrically-adjusted driver’s
seat, this function allows two driving positions
to be memorised, to make these adjustments
easier if there are frequent driver changes.
It takes account of the electric adjustments of the
seat and the door mirrors.


Using buttons M / 1 / 2
► Enter the vehicle and switch the ignition on.
►

Adjust your seat and the door mirrors.
►


Press button
M, then press button 1 or 2
within 4 seconds.
An audible signal confirms the memorisation.
Memorising a new position cancels the previous
position.
Recalling a stored position
Ignition on or engine running
► Press button 1 or 2 to recall the
corresponding position.
An audible signal sounds when the adjustment
is finished. You can interrupt the current movement by
pressing button
M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the
seat adjustment controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while
driving.
Recalling stored positions is deactivated 45
seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats



The function is active only with the engine
running.

ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electricity
consumption in turn decreases fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use of the heated seats is not
recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

do not place sharp or heavy objects on the
seat,
–


do not kneel or stand on the seat,
–


do not spill liquids onto the seat,
–


never use the heating function if the seat
is wet.

Mirrors
Door mirrors
On versions fitted with ‘electrochrome’ mirrors,
a system connected to a brightness sensor
darkens the mirror to reduce the nuisance to the
driver caused by low sun or headlamp beams
from other vehicles.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/
defrosting of the heated door mirrors is
performed when the heated rear screen is
switched on.
For more information on Rear screen
demisting/defrosting , refer to the
corresponding section.
Adjustment

► Move control A to the right or to the left to
select the corresponding mirror.

Ease of use and comfort
3If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selection of this mode optimises fuel
consumption, but limits the performance
of the heating and air conditioning, without
however deactivating them.
Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
This system automatically controls the activation

6If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
