EASE OF USE and COMFORT
REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjustable mirror providing a central rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which darkens the mirror glass
and reduces the nuisance to the driver caused by the sun, headlamps
from other vehicles... As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce
the "blind spot".
Automatic day/night model
In order to ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
By means of a sensor, which measures the light from the rear of the
vehicle, this system automatically and progressively changes between
the day and night uses. Due to the curve of the rear screen, the image in the rear view
mirror may be slightly distorted; take this into account when
manoeuvring the vehicle.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines below:
 To obtain 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.
 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the 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.
 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer
to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks to its special active additive,
it contributes to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for information on when it should be checked.
 If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the
available engine power and so improves towing performance. The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal. If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer.
