Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibility inside the vehicle in low lighting conditions.

Head-up display

This system projects speed and cruise control/speed limiter information onto a smoked strip
in the driver's field of vision, so that they do not
need to take their eyes off the road.

Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfort,
the system then automatically controls
this level according to the ambient conditions.

Advice on interior settings

20
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear efficiency indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,use engine braking rather than thebrake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contributetowards a reduction in fuel consumptionand CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make useof the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents beforeusing the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

















































Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: F
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compar tment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.F
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. F
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation maycause misting of the windows and side windows.F
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.F
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep itin good working order. F
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).F
The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in anincrease 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 improvestowing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under thevehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.F
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly.F
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


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

Manual air conditioning
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.
1. Temperature adjustment
F
Turn the dial from left(cold) to right (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.



2. Air fl ow adjustment
F
Press the "full fan"
button to
increase the air flow.
According to the value selected,
the associated line of LEDs fills progressively.
F Press the "empty fan"
button toreduce the air flow.


3. Air distribution adjustment
F
press the corresponding button for:
Windscreen and side windows.
Central and side vents.
F
ootwells.
Depending on your requirements, you can combine two distribution buttons or select the three distribution modes
simultaneously.

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
F
Press this button to recirculatethe interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.
F Press the button again to
permit the intake of exterior air.
The indicator lamp goes off toconfirm this.
The intake o
f exterior air prevents the formation of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the passenger compartment from exterior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air qualit
y and the formation of mist.
5. Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.
Switching on
FPress the "A/C"
button, the associatedgreen indicator lamp comes on.The air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow adjustment is set to off.
Switching off
FPress the "A/C"button again, the associatedgreen indicator lamp switches off. Switching off may result in some discomfort(humidity, misting).
