automaticall
y. Pressing the AUTObutton
restores fully automatic operation.
Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
Pr
ess this button to recirculate
the interior air. The recirculation
symbol is displayed.

Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment. Avoid prolonged operation
in interior air recirculation mode
(risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).

Pressing this button again activates the
int
ake of exterior air.
Air distribution
Pressin
g this button several times
in
succession directs the air flow
t
owards:


- the windscreen,

- the windscreen and footwells,

- the footwells,

- the side vents, central vents and
footwells,

- the side vents and central vents.

Deactivating the system
Pr
ess the air flow small fan
button until the
fan symbol
disappears.
Thi
s action deactivates all of the
system's functions, with the exception of the
air recirculation and rear screen demisting (if
fitted on your vehicle). Your comfort setting
is no longer maintained and is switched off.
For
your comfort, do not deactivate the
system for long periods.
Pressin

CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING

Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.

Vents
"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or coo
l air in the passenger compartment,
there are ad
justable central and side vents
which can be directed sidewa
ys (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
Th
e air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Re
fer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning should
only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
hi
gh after a prolonged period parked
in the sun,
first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes. Use the AUT
O mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passen
ger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in per
fect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditionin
g system results in a flow
of water which ma
y form a puddle under the
ve
hicle when parked.
If the s
ystem does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.

Demisting the rear screen and/or mirrors

Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
de
frosting of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
Thi
s function switches off:


- when the button is pressed,

- when the engine is switched off,

- automatically to prevent excessive
energy consumption.


Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The com
fort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickl
y demist or defrost the
windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibilit
y programme indicator lamp
comes on.
It activates the air conditionin
g, the air
flow, the defrostin
g of the rear screen
and provides optimum distribution of the
v
entilation to the windscreen and side
w
indows.
It
deactivates the air recirculation.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S
5

You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

CHECKS


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.


Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc / drum wear

For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.


Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and generate unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By means of
its second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears). Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
