Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient 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 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).
 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 per fectly 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 qualified workshop.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

Adjustable boot floor
This three position floor allows you to optimise the volume of the boot by means of the guides placed on the sides: - High position (50 kg max): the floor is level with the closed lower tailgate. You can load objects while keeping an area protected and isolated. - Intermediate position (100 kg max): the floor is level with the open lower tailgate. You obtain a flat floor to the front seats when the rear seats are in the retracted position. - Low position (150 kg max): maximum boot volume (except for versions with a standard spare wheel).
To place and support the floor at an angle:  From the high position, raise the floor towards the load space cover.  Do not hesitate to pass the two retractable stops then place the floor back on these two stops.
To change the height of the floor:
 Push the floor fully for wards then, with the help of the support stops A , move the floor to the position required.
The floor is equipped with four stowing rings to secure your luggage, observing the loads indicated (in the boot).

Electric parking brake
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.
Activation / deactivation of this function is possible by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Deactivation is recommended in particularly cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Refer to the "Manual release" paragraph.
Do not place any object (packet of cigarettes, telephone, ...) behind the electric brake control.

Driving
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pull on the control lever A . Application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the warning lamp P in the control lever A ,
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, a beep is heard and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied, unless the selector lever is in position P
(Park) in the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release the parking brake, press on the brakepedal or the accelerator, pull then release the control lever A . Full application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- the braking warning lamp and of the warning lamp P in the the control lever A going off,
If you pull the control lever A without pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and a warning lamp will come on in the instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on the control lever A , until you see the message "Handbrake on" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential: - in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually, - when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
- display of the message "Handbrake on". - display of the message "Handbrake off ".
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
