COMFORT
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much
colder or warmer than the
comfort value, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to obtain the comfort required more
quickly. The system corrects the dif-
ference in temperature automatically
and as quickly as possible.

The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine 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, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 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 windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).


)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

Automatic operation



)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING
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
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated in the screen 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 in the but-
ton goes off or the indicator lamp in
the "AUTO"
button comes on.


1. Automatic comfort programme
To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.

COMFORT

9. Mono-zone/Dual-zone


)

Press this button to equalise
the comfort value on the
passenger side with that
on the driver's side (mono-
zone). The indicator lamp in
the button comes on.




8. Air recirculation


)
Press this button to recircu-
late the interior air. The in-
dicator lamp for the button
corresponding to the func-
tion chosen comes on.


- Closed/Air intake (automatic mode).
Press this button, the indicator lamp
comes on.

- Forced closing of air intake
(manual mode). Press this button

indicator lamp comes on.



Switching the system off



)
Turn the air fl ow control to the left until
all of the indicator lamps go off.
This action switches off all of the func-
tions of the system.
Temperature related comfort is no longer
guaranteed but a slight fl ow of air, due
to the movement of the vehicle, can still
be felt.


)
Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or
press the "AUTO"
button to reacti-
vate the system with the values set
before it was switched off.
Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the system off. Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.


)
As soon as possible, press the "auto"
button to allow the intake of exterior
air and avoid misting.

VISIBILITY














LIGHTING CONTROLS

System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt the
lighting progressively in relation to the
climatic conditions and so improve the
driver's visibility:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the
requirements of particular driving con-
ditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,

- front foglamps for even better visibility,

- daytime running lamps to be seen
during the day.



Programming

Various automatic lighting control modes
are also available according to the fol-
lowing options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- automatic lighting,

- directional headlamps.

SAFETY








TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically 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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install
a wheel which is not detected by
your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

This system does not avoid
the need to have the tyre pres-
sures checked regularly (refer
to the "Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum dy-
namic performance of the vehicle is
maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ar-
duous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electromagnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor.

This warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify 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, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen identifying the
wheel concerned.


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

)
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation detec-
tion system is an aid to driv-
ing which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to
drive responsibly.


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to identify the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a
fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).

This message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-
ing repaired) or when one or more
wheels without a sensor are fi tted.
