The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it fromworking and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compar tment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very shor t period. In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft protection

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).
