OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR
GEARBOX

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sun roof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic digital regulation, as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

VENTILATION

AIR INTAKE

The air circulating in the passenger compartment is fi ltered and
originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base
of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


AIR FLOW PATHS

The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls
selected by the driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfort
required by mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the
passenger compartment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed
of the ventilation blower.


CONTROL PANEL

The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A

on the centre console. The functions offered are:


- the level of comfort required,

- air fl ow,

- air distribution,

- demisting/defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.



AIR DIFFUSION



1.
Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.

2.
Front side window demisting/defrosting vents.

3.
Side adjustable air vents.

4.
Central adjustable air vents.

5.
Air outlets to the front footwells.

3/
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

AUTOAUTOA/C

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR
CONDITIONING

The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.


AUTOMATIC OPERATION


1. Automatic comfort programme



)
Press the "AUTO"
button. The indicator lamp on the
button comes on.
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits automatic and
optimised adjustment of all of the functions, passenger 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.

2. Driver's side adjustment

When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air fl ow will reach its optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells only.


3. Passenger side adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the
temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level
of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.


)
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,
depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right setting difference of more than 3.
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. The
system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.
