CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
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) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.


Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this filter is in good condition
and have all of the filter 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, first 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 flow, 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
flow 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
or a qualified workshop.

PARKING BRAKE
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when driving
in unusual conditions.
DRIVING SAFELY

Applying

Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on the instrument panel.
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.

Parking sensors
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Activation / Deactivation

REAR PARKING SENSORS


Display in the screen
You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.

The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.


Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


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 fitted (vehicle fitted 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.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.
