Ventilation



Manual operation

You can, according to your
requirements, make a different selection
from that offered by the system by
changing a setting. The other functions
will still be controlled automatically.
Pressing the AUTO
button restores fully
automatic operation.

Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession directs
the air fl ow towards:


- the windscreen,

- the windscreen and footwells,

- the footwells,

- the side vents, central vents and
footwells,

- the side vents and central vents.

Air fl ow
Press the small fan
button to
reduce the fl ow or the large
fan
button to increase the
fl ow.
On the display, the blades of the fan fi ll
when the fl ow is increased.

Switching the air
conditioning On/Off
Press this button, the A/C
symbol is displayed and the
air conditioning is activated.
Deactivating the system
Press the air fl ow small fan

button until the fan symbol
disappears from the display.
This action deactivates all
of the system's functions, with the
exception of the air recirculation and
rear screen demisting (if fi tted on your
vehicle). Your comfort setting is no
longer maintained and is switched off.
Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to
recirculate the interior air.
The recirculation symbol is
displayed.
For your comfort, do not
deactivate the system for
long periods. Pressing the
large fan
button or the AUTO

button reactivates the system
with the values set before it was
deactivated. Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Avoid prolonged operation
in interior air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.

Pressing this button again switches off
the air conditioning.

The ventilation outlet, located in
the glove box, diffuses cool air
(if the air conditioning is on)
regardless of the reference
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment and
regardless of the exterior temperature.

Ventilation


DE-ICING AND DEMISTING GOOD PRACTICE

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)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.


Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
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 fl ow,
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 fl ow 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.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Practical information

CREW CAB

Bench seat

The crew cab consists of a 3-seat
bench, located in row 2, the one-piece
back of which is solid with the "load
retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the
sliding side door.


Head restraints and seat belts

The three seats are equipped with
inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts
of the side seats are solid with the
panels, whereas the seat belt of the
centre seat is solid with the back of the
bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint bolted
onto the load retaining grille and which
can be removed.
Do not store a head restraint inside the
vehicle unless it is stowed or fi xed to a
support.
Do not drive with rear passengers
without fi rst bolting the head restraints
in place.


Placing the bench seat in
the fully folded position


- If necessary, move the front seats
forward and fasten the strap of the
seat belt of the centre seat.

- Check that the seat belt straps and
buckles are positioned correctly
along the side panels, to ensure
that the sliding of the seat back is
not hindered.

- Release the seat back using the
control A
.

Practical information



Putting the bench seat back in
the seat position


- In a single movement: take hold of
the red strap and pull the assembly
horizontally towards the rear. Guide
the movement until the feet of the
bench seat lock on the fl oor.

- Raise the seat back.
The control A
locks automatically.

- Check that the bench is locked on
the fl oor correctly once it has been
returned to the seat position.
Do not let the assembly fall sharply.


Good practice

There is no need to assist, guide or
support using the arm which remains
free during the tilting movement.
The rear seat belt casings are not
designed for securing the load
transported. Use the stowing rings on
the fl oor only.
The bench seat of the crew cab is not
suitable for the installation of a child
seat.

- Using the same hand, fold the seat
back and the associated grille onto
the seat cushion.

- Take hold of the red strap
(like a handle) and lift and
assembly vertically, guiding the
movement to the fully folded
position.
The raised seat rests against the backs
of the seats of row 1.

Practical information

LOAD SPACE LAYOUT

12 volt socket (120 W max)

It is advisable to limit its use to avoid
discharging the battery.


Stowing rings

Use the stowing rings on the rear fl oor
to secure your loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to immobilise
the load by securing it fi rmly using the
stowing rings and place heavy objects
as far forwards as possible (towards
the cab).


Trims

The lower parts of the sides are fi tted
with load protection trims.

Parking sensors



Activation/Deactivation
Operating fault

In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
on the display. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing
this button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.

You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fi tted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds the
length of the vehicle.
