Advice
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the 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
located at the rear free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located
at the top of the windscreen; this is used
for regulation of the air conditioning
system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes, once or twice
a
month, to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating air
quality inside the passenger compartment,
you should not deactivate the system for
too long and you should avoid extended
operation of the air recirculation system
when driving.
F

E
nsure that the cabin filter is in good
condition and have the filter elements
replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a
combined
cabin filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, 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
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked regularly according to
the recommendations in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified 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 the towing
ability. If after an extended period parked
in the sun, the interior temperature
is very high, first 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.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
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 may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle when stationary
which is per fectly normal.

General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-

T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshop, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-

A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a


radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for the specifications of compatible
transmitters (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

Safety

96
ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.Post Collision Safety Brake
(PCSB)
With automatic post-collision braking, in the
event of an accident, the ESC system triggers
an automatic braking action in order to reduce
the risk of cumulative collisions by rebound, for
example, if the driver does not react.
Automatic braking inter venes after a frontal,
lateral or rear impact.
Conditions for operation
The impact has resulted in the deployment
of the airbags or seat belt pyrotechnic
pretensioners.
The braking systems and electric functions of
the vehicle must remain operational after the
collision.
Automatic braking is accompanied by
illumination of the vehicle's brake lamps.
The system does not inter vene if driver
action is detected:
-
A

ccelerator pedal pressed.
-
B

rake pedal pressed.
The system works within the limits of the
laws of physics.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously adapt the vehicle's speed to
the driving and road conditions.
Malfunctions
Braking systems fault
Airbags or pyrotechnic
pretensioning systems fault
Drive carefully.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of
the vehicle or trailer swaying. Simultaneous illumination of these two warning
lamps.
