6. Demisting the rear screen and the mirrors
Pressing the button once
demists the rear screen
and the exterior mirrors.
This switches off automati-
cally to prevent an exces-
sive consumption of current.
Pressing again reactivates demisting.
It is possible to stop demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again. In certain cases of particu-
larly arduous use (towing the
maximum load on a steep
gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
In order for the air conditioning to be
fully effective, the windows must be
closed.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water produced by the air con-
ditioning condensation is discharged
through an opening provided for this
purpose. Therefore, a puddle of wa-
ter may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In order to ensure that the air condi-
tioning system operates correctly, reg-
ular checks are also recommended.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
5. Air intake/Air recirculation
Pressing button 5 permits
recirculation of the interior
air. This is indicated by il-
lumination of the indicator
light.
As soon as possible, press button

5 again to permit the intake of out-
side air, to prevent deterioration of
the air quality and to avoid misting of
the windows. This is indicated by the
switching off of the indicator light.
The interior air recirculation enables
you to isolate the passenger com-
partment from exterior odours and
smoke.
The outside air intake enables you to
prevent and eliminate misting of the
windscreen and side windows.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, air recirculation enables
performance to be improved.
Used in a humid climate, air recir-
culation may result in misting of the
windows.
Rapid demisting of the wind-
screen
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- place the air distribution control in the "windscreen and side win-
dows" position,
- place the temperature 2 and air
l ow 3 controls at maximum, as
indicated by the "Windscreen
and side windows" symbol on the
control panel,
- close the centre vents,
- switch air intake button 5 to the
"Outside Air Intake" position (but-
ton 5 indicator light off),
- start the air conditioning by press- ing button 1 .

DRIVING

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty. The proximity information is given
by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.
Depending on the multifunction
display, the audible signal is
transmitted by a buzzer or by the rear
speakers which transmit:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and on the left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the
"Danger" symbol appears depending
on the multifunction display.
 Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal (short bleep)
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the multifunction
display. The system can be activated
or deactivated from the
multifunction display
coni guration menu.
The activation and deacti-
vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.
