EASE OF USE and COMFORT
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines 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 at least 5 to 10 minutes,
once or twice a month to keep it in good 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 special active additive,
it contributes to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,
you are also advised to refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for information on when it should be
checked.
)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the
available engine power and so improves towing performance.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer.

This has areas for storing a box of spare bulbs, a fi rst aid kit, the
temporary puncture repair kit, a warning triangle, the removable ball
of the towbar system...
BOOT LAMPS

SAFETY
Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the spoiler, with the vehicle stationary, ignition on:
)
raise the spoiler to the maximum position B
by pressing the button
briefl y,
)
once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold
the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING FAULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen. As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
)
stop where it is safe to do so,
)
switch off the ignition,
)
switch the ignition on again.
If the indicator lamp no longer fl ashes, the failure was temporary,
the system has resumed normal operation. To retract the spoiler, refer
to the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If the indicator lamp fl ashes again and the spoiler is still raised,
the system is still faulty.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler),
the indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not
exceed a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from
the spoiler housing.
Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To exit from manual mode:
)
press the button briefl y: the indicator lamp on the button goes off
(return to automatic mode).
At speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h), the spoiler stays in the open
position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.
