Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.F

P
ush the button down
to reduce the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21
provides optimum
comfort. Depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18
and 24 is normal.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left /right setting difference of more
than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there is no
need to alter the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14
or the
maximum value 28.

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of condensation on the windscreen and side
windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours and
smoke.
This allows hot or cold air to be delivered
quickly when required.

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

normal. Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start

During heating
This indicator lamp flashes while the
heating is in operation.
This indicator lamp goes off at the
end of the heating cycle or when the
heating is stopped using the remote
control.
The maximum heating period is about
45

minutes depending on the climatic
conditions.
The programmable heating system is
supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank is on reser ve, it is
recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-

t

he battery is sufficiently charged,
-

t

he fuel level is adequate,
-

t

he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. Always switch off the programmable
heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of
fire or explosion.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.). Risk of fire!
Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Take care not to place objects in contact
with these sur faces, nor touch them with
your hands or any other part of your body.
Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Windscreen and headlamp
wash
On vehicles fitted with automatic air
conditioning, any action on the windscreen
wash control results in temporary closing
of the air intake to avoid odours inside the
passenger compartment.

In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reser voir low level is reached this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message.
The warning lamp comes on when the ignition
is switched on, or every time the stalk is
operated, until the reser voir is refilled.
Next time you stop, refill the screenwash/

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P, depending on
the type of gearbox.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-

d

eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6

mph
(10


km/h),
-

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least around 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1
to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
