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
operation and maintenance below:


)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, 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, once or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition 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 the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

)
To guarantee 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 engine 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.




Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you
can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see "Driving").

of spectacles, tokens, cards, a can...
It is also locked or unlocked when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked using the
remote control or the key.


)
To open the glove box, raise the
handle.
It is illuminated when the lid is opened.
The glove box is fi tted with an air vent A
,
which can be opened or closed. This dis-
tributes the same cooled air as the vents
in the passenger compartment.
The glove box also gives access to the
dashboard fusebox (refer to the section
"Practical information - § Changing a
fuse").

SAFETY
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- repair and assembly procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located
in the middle of the dashboard.


If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come on,
this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.


Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
petrol engine).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.















TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting
on the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics. On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates the automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps.

SAFETY





AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to max-
imise the safety of the occupants in the
event of violent collisions. They supple-
ment the action of the force-limiting seat
belts.
In this case, 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 are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibil-
ity of the occupants or their possible
exit from the vehicle,

- in the event of a minor impact or
rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is suf-
fi cient to provide maximum protec-
tion in these situations.

The deployment of one or more
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 sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

















Front airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is de-
activated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact to all or part of the front impact zone A
,
in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's
side, and the dashboard, passenger's
side to cushion their forward movement.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.


The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is off.

This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate.

SAFETY













For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when
an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled
out. The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates
within the same time discharging the
hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.



Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the seats, compatible with deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical information § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the front head restraints (articles of clothing...).
This could cause injury to the head if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
