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 monthto 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 compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants 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 haveit 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 compartment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

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


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly 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 & Star t system (see the corresponding section).

Comfort
A setting around 21 enables you to obtain an
optimum level of comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is usual. In addition, it is recommended that you 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 needto alter the value displayed in order to obtain the required level of comfort. The system corrects the temperature difference automatically and as quicklyas possible.
Automatic visibility programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, you canexceed the minimum value of 14 or the maximum value of 28. )Push the switch 2
or 3down until"LO"
is displayed or up until "HI"isdisplayed.
See "Front demisting-defrosting".

Gear shift indicator *
Operation
The system inter venes 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 trafficand 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.
* According to engine.

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 offby 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 andresponsibility on the par t of the driver.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit froma parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
forwards and backwards more than once.

For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle.
This "parking assistance" systemis activated automatically duringmanoeuvres; it is therefore possiblethat a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal,without affecting the manoeuvre.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Star t. In STOP mode, activationof Park Assist restarts the engine.



The Park Assist system cannot in anycircumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel
turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel andtake care with loose and bulky clothing,scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.

The s
ystem provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
