Ventilation


DE-ICING AND DEMISTING GOOD PRACTICE

Vents


"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete
the equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.


Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.


Air conditioning

In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

without storing it, fi x it to a support
in the vehicle,

- ensure that the passengers can
always access the seat belts and
fasten them easily,

- a passenger must never take
his seat without adjusting and
fastening his seat belt.

- a passenger seated in row 3 must
ensure that he does not obstruct
the row 2 seat anchoring recesses.

Using the torch

Remove it from its location by pulling
from the top.
Press the switch, located on the back
of the torch, to switch it on or off.
The retaining clip allows you to position
the torch for precise use (for example,
lighting while changing a wheel).


Storing the torch

Always put the torch back starting by
positioning the lower part in its location.
If it is not engaged correctly it may not
charge and may not come on when the
boot is opened.
Putting the torch back in place
switches it off automatically if it has not
been switched off already.

Practical information


The interior rack is not compatible
with the Zenith roof.


Fitting the bars



- Unclip the plastic covers C .

- Unscrew the knurled wheels
located at the ends of the bars fully.

- Take hold of the bar by the ends
to slide them towards the inside to
retract them.

- Extract the metal end piece A
taking hold of the end of the bar like
a syringe.

- Insert the end piece A on one side
then lower it to fi x it in the base of
the notch B .


Storing

When the bars are not in use:


- partially loosen the knurled wheels,

- lift the bar slightly,

- pivot it upwards by 180°,

- tighten the knurled wheel.



Good practice

In the event of a front impact, the rack
is disengaged to avoid injury to the
occupants of the vehicle. The slight
clearance observed in the bar is linked
with this safety disengagement.
Do not loosen or place the bars in a
position other than those described
above.
The load on the rack must rest on the
overhead storage compartment and
be strapped using the strap passages
provided on the bars.
The bars are not grab handles for the
passengers.
- Carry out the same operations on
the other side.

- Ensure that they are engaged
correctly at the base of the notch.

- Tighten the knurled wheels and
check the tightening by pushing the
bar sideways.
To remove, proceed in the reverse
order.

DRIVING SAFELY
HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE

Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
fi rmly before leaving the vehicle.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to
lower the parking brake lever.

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction
indicators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.

If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.

Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lights come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the fi rst time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button on the fascia.

ABS
ABS

Driving safely

(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the EBFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on
the display, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning light comes
on, together with the brake
and STOP warning lights,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking
distance. When braking in an
emergency, do not hesitate to press
the brake pedal fi rmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

ESP OFF
109


Driving safely

SAFETY
4

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL
(ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
Use the ESP to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.

Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check


Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fi tting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.


Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED fl ashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The warning light may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.



- Press the button or turn
the dial to the ESP OFF
position (depending on
model).

- The indicator light comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.

- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

Seat belts

SEAT BELTS


Height adjustment

Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat side.


Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.


Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning light
Unfastening

Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this warning light comes on if
the driver has not fastened his
seat belt.


Good practice

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which permit a
clearance with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle
is ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
