Indicator and warning lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation, switched off or has a fault.

Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to
the information on the warning lamp concerned.

The switching on of cer tain warning lamps maybe accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously(fixed) or flash.

Instruments and controls
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits,contact a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).

This value may vary following a changein the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a significant change in thecurrent fuel consumption.
A few definitions…

Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distancewhich can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuelconsumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled.
When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.
Average fuelconsumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)This is the average fuel
consumption since the last tripcomputer zero reset.

Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).

The hybrid system and its electric motor
do not provide additional range; followthe indications of the trip computer.

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: ) If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sunfor a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compar tment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.)
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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation maycause misting of the windows and side windows.)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep itin good working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar tment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in anincrease in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures,switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under thevehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly.)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month.


Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.

B.Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aper ture, on the driver's side.
