Trip computer, a few definitions
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi lling with
at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recal-
culated and is displayed when it exceeds
60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following
a change in the style of driv-
ing or the relief, resulting in a
signifi cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remain-
ing in the tank. Related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles (kilo-
metres) travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few
seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop &
Start, a time counter calculates the
time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the navi-
gation system, if guidance is activated,
or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.

HEATING AND VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
good conditions of comfort and visibility in
the vehicle's passenger compartment.
Controls
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the front passenger and rear
passengers, according to the level of
equipment.
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you
to select the air vents used in the pas-
senger compartment by the combined
use of the associated buttons. The air fl ow control enables you to in-
crease or reduce the speed of the ventila-
tion fan.
These controls are grouped together on
control panel A
on the centre console.
The air circulating in the passenger com-partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.
Air distribution
1.
Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
2.
Front side window demisting/de-
frosting vents.
3.
Side adjustable air vents.
4.
Central adjustable air vents.
5.
Air outlets to the front footwells.
6.
Adjustable air vents for the rear pas-
sengers.
7.
Air outlets to the rear footwells.

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
REAR VENTILATION
ADJUSTMENT
After pressing the "REAR" button, turn
the adjustment dial of the rear side
vents to decrease or increase the fl ow
of air.
Take care not to obstruct the side vents
and the air outlets on the fl oor.
To shut off the fl ow of air, close the vents
and set the dial to 0. In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance 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
compartment 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
recirculation 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 compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
)
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results
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 advised
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.
