COMFORT
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on opera-
tion and maintenance below:

 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.

 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 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion 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 second special active fi lter, it contributes to t he purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of th e passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

 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.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, installing the windstop and using the "AIRWAVE"
systems improves comfort.
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. If the interior temperature remains
very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable
time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suf-
fi cient level to provide an adequate
renewal of air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.

SAFETY
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 direc-
tion indicators for more than twenty
seconds, the volume of the audible
signal will increase if the speed is
above 40 mph (60 km/h).

 Left: lower the lighting stalk passing
the point of resistance.

 Right: raise the lighting stalk pass-
ing the point of resistance.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
A visual warning by means of the direc-
tion indicators to alert other road users
to a vehicle breakdown, towing or ac-
cident.

 Press this button, the direction indi-
cators fl ash.
They can operate with the ignition off. Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the hazard
warning lamps come on automatically.
They switch off automatically the fi rst
time you accelerate.

 You can also switch them off by
pressing the button.

DRIVING
AUDIBLE AND/OR VISUAL REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle,
except obstacles located just below the
bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the be-
ginning of the manoeuvre, but may
no longer be detected when the ve-
hicle comes close to it.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of the vigilance and re-
sponsibility of the driver. Activation
The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal. The proximity in-
formation is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which become
increasingly closer to the vehicle. Programming
You can activate or deactivate the
system by means of the multifunction
screen confi guration menu. The system
state is memorised when switching off
the ignition.
For more information on access to the
parking assistance menu, refer to ve-
hicle confi guration in the "Multifunction
screens" section corresponding to your
screen.
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer or when
a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted
with a towbar or bicycle carrier recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
Operating faults
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal be-
comes continuous and the "Danger" sym-
bol appears on the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive.
If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal (short beep)
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Driving advice
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
