ally by pulling the control A .

If this warning lamp is lit on the
instrument panel, the automatic
application/release is
deac-
tivated , in this case use the
manual application/release.
When the door is opened with
the engine running an audible
signal is heard, apply the parking
brake manually.
Do not leave a child alone in the ve-
hicle with the ignition on, they could
release the parking brake. If you are towing a trailer or
a caravan or if the gradient is
likely to change (transport by
ship, lorry, towing, ...), apply
the parking brake manually to maxi-
mum force (long pull of control A ) to
immobilise the vehicle.

After pressing the "REAR" button, turn

Take care not to obstruct the side vents

T o s h u t o f f t h e fl o w o f a i r , c l o s e t h e v e n t s
and set the dial to 0.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the
operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
If the interior temperature remains very high aft er 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.

m e n t ( r e d u c t i o n o f a l l e r g i c s y m p t o m s , b a d o d o u r s a n d g r e a s y d e p o s i t s ) .
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 air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.
