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
maintenance guidelines below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked
i n t h e s u n f o r a c o n s i d e r a b l e t i m e , fi r s t v e n t i l a t e t h e p a s s e n g e r c o m p a r t m e n t
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.
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air
recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this 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 ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, 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 saves engine power and i mproves towing
capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

The electric 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 .
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...)
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine 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 screens"
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.
