READY TO SET OFF
Gearbox and steering wheel
Deactivation
To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start
system should be deactivated to
allow continuous operation of the air
conditioning. The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
At any time, press the "S - OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately. Operating fault Maintenance
In the event of a fault with
the system, the Stop & Start
system is deactivated and the
service warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of START mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from
PEUGEOT dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
PEUGEOT dealers.
Reactivation
Press the
"S - OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and a
message in the instrument panel screen.

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
Ventilation
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
Windscreen
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these eight air outlets.
The manual air conditioning consists of the
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open. Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen: - increase the air flow setting,
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment. Rear screen and mirrors de-icing
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/de-icing of the rear
screen and mirrors. This function switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.
With Stop & Start, when the heated
rear screen is switched on, the STOP
mode is not available.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer .
VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
- 2 adjustable central vents,
- 2 adjustable and closing side vents,
- 2 vents directed towards the floor of the vehicle.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
high after a prolonged period parked in the
sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
Ventilation
These controls are located on the centre console.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode is operational
when the engine is running. The diode is lit.
Temperature adjustment Control positioned:
- in the blue zone triggers cool
air,
Air flow
The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4 . Remember to adjust
this control in order to reach the
ambient air comfort level. To switch off the
blower, place the control in position 0 .
The air supply distribution is
directed by the control turned
towards:
the side vents and the central
vents,
the side vents, the central vents
and the footwells,
the footwells,
the windscreen, the front side
windows and the footwells,
the windscreen.
Press the air blower control. The
diode lights.
The air blower control must not
be in position 0 (zero flow) for air
conditioning to be obtained.
Turn the control to the position required.
- in the red zone triggers heating
of the interior ambient air.

Ventilation
Intake of exterior air This is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and setting of the
force of blown air (from 1 to 4 ), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient
air comfort level with both hot or cold
settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment. De-icing is more
rapid in this position.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting. This
operating mode is preferable.

SAFETY
Airbags
AIRBAGS
The Airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the Airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the Airbags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
Airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the Airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an Airbag or Airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
Airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5.
