COMFORT
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a dis-
charge of water under the vehicle
which is perfectly normal.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on opera-
tion and maintenance below:
 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterio\
r air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the v\
ents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
 Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 minutes, once or twic\
e a month to keep it in perfect working order.
 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
 We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. Thanks to 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, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).
 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also \
advised to have it checked regularly, as recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record.
 If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, installing the windstop and using the
"AIRWAVE" systems improves comfort.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning permits the recovery of engine power and
therefore improvement of the towing capacity. If the interior temperature remains
very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable
time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suf-
fi cient level to provide an adequate
renewal of air in the passenger com-
partment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is ru\
n-
ning. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment,
you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the corresp\
ond-
ing section).

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
 When stationary , pull the control lever to release the adjustment
mechanism.
 Adjust the height and reach to suit your driving position.
 Push the control lever to lock the ad- justment mechanism.
As a safety precaution, these op-
erations should only be carried out
with the vehicle stationary.
Automatic day/night model
By means of a sensor, which measures
the light from the rear of the vehicle, this
system automatically and progressively
changes between the day and night
uses.
In order to ensure optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
As a safety measure, the mirrors
should be adjusted to reduce the
"blind spot".
Rear view mirror
Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system,
which darkens the mirror glass: this re-
duces the nuisance to the driver caused
by the headlamps from following vehi-
cles, low sun...

Front and rear foglamps.
Press, turning ring C :
 forwards once to switch on the front foglamps,
 forwards again to switch on the rear foglamp,
 rearwards once to switch off the rear foglamp,
 rearwards again to switch off the front foglamps.
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all
of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for dipped beam if guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
C. Foglamp selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the dipped
and main beam headlamps.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Switching on the lamps after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, ro-
tate ring A to the "0" position - lamps
off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a tem-
porary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a maximum duration of
thirty minutes to prevent discharg-
ing of the battery.
When the lighting is switched off au-
tomatically (with AUTO model) or
when the dipped beam headlamps
are switched off manually, the front fo-
glamps and the sidelamps will remain
on.
 Turn the ring rearwards to switch off
the front foglamps, the sidelamps
will then switch off.

Automatic illumination of headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is de-
tected by a sunshine sensor, the num-
ber plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps are switched on auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver. They can also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen
wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.
Activation
 Turn the ring to the "AUTO" posi-
tion. The activation of the function
is accompanied by the display of a
message in the screen.
Deactivation
 Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation of the function is ac-
companied by the display of a mes-
sage in the screen. In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light. In
this case, the lighting will not come
on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
Operating fault

DRIVING
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each of these tyres.
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres. This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly and before a long journey.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, par-
ticularly under arduous conditions
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly. Driving with under-infl ated tyres in-
creases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label (see the "Identifi cation mark-
ings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold (vehi-
cle stopped for 1 hour or after driv-
ing for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add
0.3 bar to the values indicated on
the label.
Spare wheel
Don't forget to also check the tyre
pressure of the spare wheel.
If your vehicle has an alloy spare
wheel, this also has a sensor.
If your vehicle has a steel spare
wheel, this may be fi tted with a
sensor * . Check whether a sensor
is fi tted to a steel wheel.
