The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance rules below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, do not hesitate t o ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
P l a c e t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l a t a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l t o p r o v i d e a n a d e q u a t e r e n e w a l
of air in the passenger compartment.
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
Favour the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the a ir recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the fascia; th is is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning syste m, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engi ne power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

DIRECTION INDICATORS
Selection of the left or right direction in-
dicators to signal a change of direction
of the vehicle. If you forget to cancel the di-
rection indicators for more
than twenty seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will in-
crease if the speed is above 40 mph
(60 km/h).
Lower the lights stalk fully when
moving to the left.
Raise the lights stalk fully when
moving to the right.
HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
A visual warning by means of the direc-
tion indicators to alert other road users to
a vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.
As a safety precaution in a traf-
fi c j a m , s w i t c h o n t h e h a z a r d
warning lamps if you are the
last in the queue.
Tilt or press button A , the direction

They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic lighting of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, de-
p e n d i n g o n t h e d e c e l e r a t i o n , t h e h a z a r d
warning lamps come on.
They will switch off automatically the
fi r s t t i m e y o u a c c e l e r a t e .
If they do not, press button A to
switch the direction indicators off.

ing wheel.
Use the horn moderately and
only in the following cases:
- immediate danger,
-
- when approaching an area where there is no visibility.

The electronic parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/re- leased manually by pulling control A .
ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...)
Programming the mode
The automatic application when the en-
gine is switched off and the automatic
release when you press the accelerator
can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation is
performed using the con-
fi g u r a t i o n m e n u , r e f e r t o
the "Multifunction displays"
section.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, a beep is heard and a
message is displayed if the brake is not
applied.

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull on control A .
The application of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the lighting of the braking warning lamp and of the warn-
ing lamp P on the control A ,
- the displaying of the message "Parking brake applied".
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is heard and
a message is displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied, unless the
selector lever is in position P (Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press on the brake pedal or the accel-
erator, pull then release control A .
The full application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the extinction of the brak-ing warning lamp and of the
warning lamp P on control A ,
- the displaying of the message "Parking brake released".
If you pull control A without press-
ing the brake pedal, the parking
brake will not be released and a
warning lamp will light up on the
instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull on
control A , until you see the message
"Parking brake applied" and a beep is
heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, turn the front wheels to-
wards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel is permanently lit.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic
functions are activated but you
are applying the parking brake
manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing),

Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.

Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
