Interior
Interior mood lighting
this subdued passenger compartment 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 comfort, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.
Audio and communication
systems
these systems benefit from the latest
technology: MP3 compatible audio systems,
uS
B player, Bluetooth hands-free system,
satellite navigation system with colour screen,
auxiliary inputs, Hi-Fi audio system, ...

eco-driving
eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
th
e gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. th ese
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of 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
by opening 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 can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, 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 warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a
considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compartment.
F
t
o o
btain 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.
F
u
s
e in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the automatic air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F
e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. t
h
anks to its
second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
t
h
e air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. t
h
is results in an
increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
W

hen towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves
towing capacity.
C

ondensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F
t
o e
nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a P
e
uge
Ot
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.

Manual air conditioning
the air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.
1. Temperature adjustment
F turn the dial from left (cold) to right (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.
2. Air flow adjustment
F Press the "full fan" button to
increase the air flow.

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
F Press this button to recirculate the interior air. th e indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.
F

P
ress the button again to
permit the intake of exterior air.
th

e indicator lamp goes off to
confirm this.
th

e intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
th

e recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air quality
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:
-

l

ower the temperature, in summer,
-
i

ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.
Switching on
F Press the "A /C " button, its indicator lamp
comes on.
th

e air conditioning does not operate when the
air flow adjustment is set to off.
6. Automatic visibility programme
See "Front demisting - Defrosting".
Switching off
F Press the "A /C " button again, its indicator
lamp goes off.
Switching off may result in some discomfort
(humidity, misting).
to o
btain cool air sooner, you can use
recirculation of the interior air for a few
moments. t
h
en return to the intake of
exterior air.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
F Press this "AUTO" button. th e
indicator lamp comes on.
We recommend that you use this mode. It
automatically adjusts all settings to provide
optimum operation for the comfort level
chosen: passenger compartment temperature,
air flow, air distribution and air recirculation.
th

is system is designed to operate effectively
in 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 level
gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells
o n l y.
2 - 3. Driver-passenger side
adjustment
the driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.
th

e value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
F
t
u
rn control 2 or 3 to the left
(blue) or to the right (red)
respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
It is recommended that the difference between
left and right should not be greater 3.
th

e air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.

508_en_Chap03_confort_ed02-2014
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required.
th
e system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
4. Automatic visibility programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
F
t
u
rn control 2 or 3 to the left until
"LO" is displayed or to the right
until "HI" is displayed.
See "Front demisting-defrosting". F

If you wish, you can change one of settings
provided by the system. t
h
e other functions will
still be controlled automatically.
