Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If 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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Contains the fluorinated greenhouse
gas R134A
Depending on version and country of sale,
the air conditioning system may contain
fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A.
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.

Courtesy lamps

If fitted to the vehicle, one or two courtesy lamps
are located above the rear and side doors.
They can be activated by:
–
tilting the courtesy lamp (to the left or to the
right),
–


opening or closing the rear or side doors.
This lighting will turn off automatically after a few
minutes if the doors remain open.
Reading lamps
They are located above each
row of seats.
Interior roof rack
This is a storage device located in the loading
area above the cab. Its capacity is variable
according to the height of the van (H2 or H3
type).
For safety reasons, do not install heavy
objects in the interior rack.
Load stop
On the floor, behind the front seats, a horizontal
partition protects the driver and front passengers
against the risk of load movement.
Ladder-type vertical
partition
Depending on the country of sale, behind the
driver’s seat, a ladder-type vertical partition
protects the driver against the risk of load
movement.
Glass partition
Depending on the country of sale, a glass
partition isolates the cab from the loading area.
You can nevertheless use the control to open/
close its sliding glass.
Torch

If the vehicle is equipped, the magnetic torch is
located at the rear courtesy lamp.
Lighting is installed in the centre of the base of
the torch.
Remove the torch from its base by pressing
the button and then rotating it 90 degrees
downwards.
To turn on the torch, slide the switch forwards.
To change the 4 batteries (Ni-MH type), remove
the protective cover, located on the torch.
To put the torch
back in place, engage it in the
notches on the base and rotate it upwards.
With the vehicle stationary and the key
either in the ignition switch or removed,
the charging as well as the lighting of the
torch stops after about 15 minutes.
While driving, the batteries of the torch are
automatically recharged.

Driving
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 located 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 activating
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 the amount of heating produced.
►

Pay constant 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.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system. It
activates automatically when the key is removed
from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a dialogue
is set up between the key and the electronic
immobiliser.
This warning lamp goes off after the key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Carefully note the key number. In case of
loss, the intervention of a PEUGEOT
dealer will be faster and more efficient if you
provide this number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even in your
pocket, may cause the doors to be unlocked
accidentally.
The simultaneous use of other high-frequency
devices (mobile phones, home alarms, etc.),
may temporarily disturb the operation of the
remote control.
Except for reinitialisation, the remote control
cannot operate while the key is in the ignition
switch, even when the ignition is off.
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency
services to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

USB socket
Insert the USB memory stick or connect
the device to the USB socket in the
central storage space , provided for transferring
data to the system, using a suitable cable (not
supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The lists are memorised: if they are
not modified, the subsequent loading time will
be shorter.
USB socket
Located on the central console, this
socket is used only to power and
recharge the connected portable device.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Connect the portable device (e.g. MP3
player) to the auxiliary jack socket using
an audio cable (not supplied).
First adjust the volume on the portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.
The functions of the device connected to the
"AUX" socket are managed directly by this
device: it is therefore not possible to change the
track/folder/playlist or control the start/ending/
pausing of playback using the controls on the
control panel or the steering-mounted controls.
Do not leave the cable of the portable
device plugged into the "AUX" socket after
disconnecting it, in order to avoid possible noise
from the speakers.
Selecting the source
Press on "MEDIA".
Select the "Source" tab to show the
rolling display of audio sources.
Select the source.
Use the play settings on the screen.
Press the "Rand." button and/or the
" Repeat" button to activate them, press again to
deactivate them.
Information and advice
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wav", ".wma" and ".mp3" file extensions, at bit
rates between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
For audio files with ".aac", ".m4a", ".m4b" and
".mp4" file extensions, the supported sampling
rates are 8 - 96 kHz.
".m3u" and ".wpl" types are also supported.
The system does not manage devices with a
capacity greater than 64 GB.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20
characters, without using special characters (e.g.
" " ? . ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or display
problems.
The system supports USB mass storage devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple®
players via the USB sockets. The adapter
cable is not supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised by the system
during connection, must be connected to
the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable (not
supplied).
