COMFORT
VENTILATION
Air treatment
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 com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to in-
crease or reduce the speed of the ven-
tilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment 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.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Brake fluid level
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may operate
after the vehicle has been switched off,
even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT re-
commends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Towing another vehicle TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer
with additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
If your vehicle is fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp engine, you cannot fi t a
towbar. The space occupied by the sport
exhaust system prevents this.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Fitting
)
Offer up the very cold climate screen
to the front of the lower section of
the front bumper.
)
Press around its edge to engage its
fi xing clips one by one.
Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,
- when towing,
-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Removal
)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to
release each fi xing clip in turn. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
