as possible to prevent deterioration of
the the air quality and the formation of
mist.

REAR SCREEN DEMIST -DEFROST


)
Switch off the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.


If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off auto-
matically, demisting/defrosting will resume
next time the engine is switched on.

Switching on

The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending
on version) the door mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells
only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required. The system cor-
rects the difference in temperature
automatically and as quickly as
possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).

Automatic operation



)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIRCONDITIONING

We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.


)
To switch it off, press the "visibility"

button again or press the "AUTO"

button, the indicator lamp on the button
switches off and the indicator lamp on
the "AUTO"
button comes on.

VISIBILITY





Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is
poor.

Switching on


)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.








Daytime running lamps

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users. In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.


The instruments and controls (instrument
panel, multifunction screen, air condition-
ing control panel, ...) are not illuminated,
except in night mode with manual or au-
tomatic illumination of headlamps.











Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external light
is detected or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

Activation


)
Turn ring A
to the "AUTO"
position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a message
on the multifunction screen.


Deactivation


)
Turn ring A
to a position other
than "AUTO"
. Deactivation is
accompanied by a message on the
multifunction screen.

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is
provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps; this
function can be activated or deacti-
vated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.

ILLUMINATED GLOVE BOX
Its lid has areas for storing a pen, a pair
of spectacles, tokens, cards, a can...


)
To open the glove box, raise the
handle.
The light comes on when the lid is
opened.
SUN VISOR
Component which protects against sunlight from the front or the side, also equipped
with an illuminated courtesy mirror.


)
With the ignition on, raise the
concealing fl ap; the mirror is lit
automatically.
This sun visor is also equipped with a
ticket holder.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET WINDOWS
Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or car
park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the rear view mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of the
athermic windscreen.
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists
of a refl ective layer, which also
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, ...). If your vehicle is fi tted with air condition-
ing, the glove box has an air vent A
,
which can be opened or closed. This dis-
tributes the same conditioned air as the
vents in the passenger compartment.
It also gives access to the dashboard
fusebox (refer to the section "Practical
information - § Changing a fuse").

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATIONDETECTION
System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month.
Remember to check the pressure
of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.


)

Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp
is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not fi tted with
a sensor.
