Good practice

For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS

Automatic operation


AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode.
Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.

Press this button, the AUTO

symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the fl ow
and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further action
on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the air diffuser
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

Manual operation

You can, according to your requirements,
make a different selection from that offered
by the system by changing a setting.
The other functions will still be controlled
automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button
restores fully automatic operation.

Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession directs
the air fl ow towards:


- the windscreen,

- the windscreen and footwells,

- the footwells,

- the side vents, central vents and
footwells,

- the side vents and central vents.

Air fl ow
Press the small fan
button to
reduce the fl ow or the large
fan
button to increase the
fl ow.
On the display, the blades of the fan fi ll
when the fl ow is increased.

Switching the air
conditioning On / Off
Press this button, the A/C

symbol is displayed and the
air conditioning is activated.
Deactivating the system
Press the air fl ow small fan

button until the fan symbol
disappears from the display.
This action deactivates all
of the system's functions, with the
exception of the air recirculation and
rear screen demisting (if fi tted on your
vehicle). Your comfort setting is no
longer maintained and is switched off.
Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to
recirculate the interior air.
The recirculation symbol is
displayed.
For your comfort, do not
deactivate the system for
long periods. Pressing the
large fan
button or the AUTO

button reactivates the system
with the values set before it was
deactivated. 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
intake of exterior air.
Pressing this button again switches off
the air conditioning.

The ventilation outlet, located
in the glove box, diffuses cool
air (if the air conditioning is
on) regardless of the reference
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment and
regardless of the exterior temperature.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING GOOD PRACTICE

Vents


"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.


Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer 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 high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger 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 good working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Mirrors and windows

Electric folding / unfolding
The mirrors can be folded or unfolded
electrically from the inside, with the
vehicle parked and the ignition on:


- Place the control in the central
position.

- Turn the control downwards.



MIRRORS


Heated mirrors

Forced folding

If the mirror casing has come out of
its initial location, with the vehicle
stationary reposition the mirror casing
manually or use the electric folding
control.






Manual rear view mirror

The rear view mirror has two positions:


- day (normal),

- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push
or pull the lever on the lower edge of
the mirror.


Areas for toll cards / car park
tickets
The athermic windscreen has two non-
refl ective zones located either side of
the base of the interior mirror.
They are intended for affi xing toll cards
and/or car park tickets.

Parking sensors

The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper. The sensors detect any
obstacle which enters the fi eld: person,
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.

Engage reverse gear REAR PARKING SENSORS


Display in the screen



Stop the assistance

Change to neutral. An audible signal confi rms the
activation of the system by engaging
reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle. When the distance
between the rear of the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Activation / Deactivation
Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when
reverse gear is engaged the LED in the
button comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.

You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fi tted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds the
length of the vehicle.
