INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the en-
gine coolant while driving. With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:
- in zone
A , the temperature is
correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
light 1 and the central STOP warning
light come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:
wait for the engine to cool,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,
when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
Manual Check
System which informs the driver of the
warnings present and of the activated
or deactivated status of the functions.
With the engine running, to start a
manual check, press the "CHECK/000"
button on the instrument panel.
If no "major" faults have been detected,
"CHECK OK" appears on the large in-
strument panel display. If a "minor" fault has been detected, the
warning lights concerned then
"CHECK
OK" appear on the large instrument
panel display. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If a "major" fault has been detected,
only the warning lights concerned ap-
pear on the large instrument panel dis-
play. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle’s
passenger compartment. Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
T h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l e n a b l e s y o u t o i n -
crease or reduce the speed of the ven-
tilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
p a r t m e n t i s fi l t e r e d a n d o r i g i n a t e s e i t h e r
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode. Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,
- t h e a i r fl o w ,
- the air distribution,
- the de-icing and demisting,
- the manual or automatic air condi- tioning controls.
Air diffusion
1. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.
2. Front side window de-icing or de-
misting vents.
3. Side adjustable and closing vents.
4. Central adjustable and closing
vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Adjustable and closing vents for the
rear passengers.
7. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

culation of the interior air.
The indicator light on the
button comes on.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
Avoid driving for prolonged periods
with the system off.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of in-
terior air (risk of condensation and
deterioration of the air quality).
- the windscreen and side windows
(de-icing or demisting),
- the windscreen, the side windows and the vents,
- the windscreen, the side windows, the vents and the footwells,
- the vents and the footwells,

the two fans, come on progressively in
relation to the value requested.
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent condensation.
The indicator light on the button
switches off.
For maximum cooling or heating
of the passenger compartment, it
is possible to exceed the minimum
value 14 or the maximum value 28.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left
until "LO" is displayed or to the
right until "HI" is displayed. 9. Mono zone/Dual zone
Press this button to equal-
ise the comfort value on the
passenger side with that
on the driver’s side (mono
zone). The indicator light on
the button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).
Press this button again to return to
automatic operation of the air con-
ditioning. The indicator light on the
"A/C" button comes on.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.

corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level T h e p o w e r s t e e r i n g fl u i d l e v e l
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level. Screenwash and headlamp
