The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.  
 
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning 
 
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and mainte-
nance guidelines below: 
   
 
 ) 
  If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been 
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes.  
  Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient 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 well as the air extractor located in the boot. 
   
 ) 
  Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recir-
culation may cause 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 it in good working order. 
   
 ) 
  Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have 
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).  
  We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.  Thanks 
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air 
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits). 
   
 ) 
  The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This re-
sults in an increase 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 the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal. 
   
 ) 
  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also ad-
vised to have it checked regularly. 
   
 ) 
  If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.    The control button is located 
on the air conditioning system 
control panel. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
REAR SCREEN DEMIST - DEFROST 
 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Switch off the demist/de-
frost of the rear screen 
and door mirrors as soon 
as it is no longer needed 
as lower current consump-
tion results in reduced fuel 
consumption.  
 
 
 
Switching on 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Press this button to demist/defrost 
the rear screen and, depending on 
version, the door mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp associated with the but-
ton comes on.  
 
 
 
Switching off 
 
The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current. 
   
 
 ) 
  It is possible to stop the demist/de-
frost operation before it is switched 
off automatically by pressing the 
button again. The indicator lamp as-
sociated with the button goes off.  
     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The rear screen demisting - defrosting 
can only operate when the hybrid sys-
tem is active.

  AIRBAGS
 
Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission 
of smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge in-
corporated in the system. 
  This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience slight irrita-
tion. 
  The noise of the detonation may result in 
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.  
 
Front airbags
 
 
Deployment 
  The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front 
airbag is deactivated, in the event of a 
serious front impact to all or part of the 
front impact zone  A 
, in the longitudinal 
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal 
plane and directed from the front to the 
rear of the vehicle. 
  The front airbag infl ates between the 
thorax and head of the front occupant 
of the vehicle and the steering wheel, 
driver's side, and the dashboard, pas-
senger's side to cushion their forward 
movement.      
Impact detection zones 
   
 
A. 
  Front impact zone. 
   
B. 
  Side impact zone.  
   
The airbags do not operate 
when the ignition is switched 
off.   
  This equipment will only deploy once. 
If a second impact occurs (during the 
same or a subsequent accident), the 
airbag will not be deployed again.     
System designed to maximise the safety 
of the occupants (with the exception of 
the rear centre passenger) in the event 
of violent collisions. The airbags supple-
ment the action of the force-limiting seat 
belts (with the exception of the rear centre 
passenger). 
  If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and 
side impacts sustained in the impact 
detection zones: 
   
 
-   in the case of a serious impact, the 
airbags are deployed instantly and 
contribute towards better protection 
of the occupants of the vehicle (with 
the exception of the rear centre pas-
senger); immediately after the impact, 
the airbags defl ate rapidly so that they 
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the 
occupants, 
   
-   in the case of a minor or rear impact 
or in certain roll-over conditions, the 
airbags will not be deployed; the 
seat belt alone contributes towards 
ensuring your protection in these 
situations.     
System which protects the driver and 
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk 
of injury to the head and thorax. 
  The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre 
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard 
above the glove box.

For the airbags to be fully 
effective, observe the 
following safety rules: 
  Sit in a normal upright position. 
  Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. 
  Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, 
pet, object...). This could hamper the 
operation of the airbags or injure the 
occupants. 
  After an accident or if the vehicle has 
been stolen or broken into, have the 
airbag systems checked. 
  All work on the airbag system must 
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
  Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury 
or of minor burns to the head, chest 
or arms when an airbag is deployed 
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates 
almost instantly (within a few mil-
liseconds) then defl ates within the 
same time discharging the hot gas via 
openings provided for this purpose.     
Front airbags 
  Do not drive holding the steering wheel 
by its spokes or resting your hands on 
the centre part of the wheel. 
  Passengers must not place their feet 
on the dashboard. 
  If possible, do not smoke as deployment 
of the airbags can cause burns or the 
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe. 
  Never remove or pierce the steering 
wheel or hit it violently.  
    
 
Lateral airbags 
  Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lat-
eral airbags. For information on the range 
of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, 
you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Refer to the "Accessories" section. 
  Do not fi x or attach anything to the 
seat backs (clothing...). This could 
cause injury to the chest or arms if 
the lateral airbag is deployed. 
  Do not sit with the upper part of the 
body any nearer to the door than 
necessary.  
 
   
 
Curtain airbags 
  Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. 
This could cause injury to the head if the 
curtain airbag is deployed. 
  If fi tted on your vehicle, do not remove 
the grab handles installed on the roof, 
they play a part in securing the curtain 
airbags.
