CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
Vents


"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.


Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this filter is in good condition
and have all of the filter elements replaced
regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning

In all seasons, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
high after a prolonged period parked in
the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passenger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to
keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation created
by the air conditioning system results in a
flow of water which may form a puddle under
the vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

REAR VENTILATION

If your vehicle is fitted with an additional air
conditioning unit, located in the rear of the
vehicle. The distribution rail located in the
roof and the 6 individualised diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of the ambient
air selected.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from
the front air conditioning unit, is distributed
at the feet of the rear passengers of the
2nd row.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the
specific unit, completes the assembly for the
feet of the rear passengers of the 3rd row.

Temperature adjustment

Control positioned:


- on the blue, triggers cool air,

- on the red, triggers heating of the
ambient air.


Activation/Deactivation
Air flow

The force of the blown air, via
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4.
To obtain a comfortable level of
ambient air, remember to adjust this control.
To deactivate the blower, place the control in
position 0. This button, located on the
overhead storage unit, enables
you to activate/deactivate the
operation of the rear controls
from the driver’s seat or the front passenger
seat.
The first press activates (green diode lit).
A second press deactivates (diode off).

Driving safely

SAFETY

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL(ESP)

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Deactivating the ASR/ESP systems
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.


- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.
Operating check


Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and fitting and
repair procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems

The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

Airbags
SAFETY
4
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the centre seats of
rows 2 and 3) in the event of a serious
collision; they work in conjunction with the
force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, 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 inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.


- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or 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 sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.
