Ventilation


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.

Towing a trailer

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.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures. See the "Levels" section of
chapter 6. 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.

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
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted 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
fi tting 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 fi tting this type
of equipment.
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


CHECKS

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission
fi lter must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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.


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed 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 on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fl uid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc / drum wear

For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.


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 qualifi ed
workshop.


Oil filter

Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the servicing booklet for
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.
