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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect working order. )Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, 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).)To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet.)If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting highenough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

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


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which isperfectly normal.




Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintaina comfor table temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivatethe Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.


Automatic operation


1. Automatic comfort programme

Three modes are provided for the driver and for
the front passenger to select their desired level
o
f comfor t in the passenger compartment.

When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will only reach its optimum levelgradually.

In cold weather, it favours thedistribution of warm air to the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells only.


2 - 3. Driver's side - passenger's
side settings
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.

The value indicated in the screen corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Offers the best compromise between a comfor table temperature and quiet

Four-speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic operation, enhanced by spor t and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:-automatic
operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sportprogramme for a more dynamic style
of driving,

- snowprogramme to improve driving when
traction is poor,

-
sequentialoperation for manual changing
of the gears by the driver.

Operation

*

According to engine. - You are in third gear. Example on a vehicle
fitted with a manualgearbox:
-
You press the accelerator pedalmoderately.
- The s
ystem may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The in
formation appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow, accompanied bythe suggested gear for the manual gearbox.
On vehicles fitted with an electronicgear control or automatic gearbox, thesystem is only active in manual mode.
The system never suggests:


- engaging first gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations mustnot be considered compulsory. In fact, the configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors whenchoosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Speed limiter
System which prevents the vehicle fromexceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normalmanner no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched onmanually: the programmed speed must be at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual foperation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.

The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the par t of the driver.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains thespeed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: itrequires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph(40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
-
fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on an electronic or automaticgearbox, in sequential mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox or position D
on an automatic gearbox.
Th
e cruise control is switched offmanuallyfor by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the electronic stability system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal. To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator pedal. Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value. The controls of this s
ystem are grouped

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted b
y the speaker (right or left)indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
t
he obstacle becomes less than approximatelythirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous.


Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed in the screen.
