MONITORING
The level shown will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator * Oil level correct
Oil level low Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the engine oil level is no lon-
ger monitored.
This is signalled by the fl ashing of
"OIL" , or the display of a message "Oil
level incorrect" in the instrument panel,
accompanied by illumination of the ser-
vice warning lamp and an audible sig-
nal.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine.
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section. This is signalled by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
or the display of a message "Oil level mea-
surement invalid" in the instrument panel
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
When the system has a fault, you
should check the engine oil level using
the manual dipstick (located under the
bonnet).
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
On versions fi tted with an electric oil
level indicator, the state of the engine
oil level is displayed in the instrument
panel for a few seconds when the ig-
nition is switched on, after the service
information.
* Depending on version.

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).

COMFORT
The control button is located
on the heating or air condition-
ing system control panel.
REAR SCREEN DEMIST - DEFROST
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.
 Press this button to demist/defrost the rear screen and (depending on
version) the door mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp associated with the but-
ton comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.
 It is possible to stop the demisting/de-frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button switches off.
If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off au-
tomatically, demisting/defrosting will re-
sume next time the engine is switched on.
 Switch off the demisting/de-frosting of the rear screen and
door mirrors as soon as ap-
propriate as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
The demist/defrost is deactivated
when the retractable roof is stored
in the boot.

COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells
only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the
value displayed in order to obtain
the comfort required. The system
corrects the difference in tempera-
ture automatically and as quickly
as possible.
The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running. The driver and front passen-
ger can each adjust the tem-
perature to their requirements.
 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right
setting difference of more than 3. 4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).
 In this case, select the automatic visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation
 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator lamp in the
button comes on. 2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with automatic
adaptation in the "cabriolet" confi gura-
tion. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
 To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator lamp in the but-
ton goes off and the indicator lamp
in the "AUTO" button comes on.

trolled separately to produce heated
blown air directed towards the neck of
each occupant. Heated seats control
With the engine running, the front seats
can be heated separately.
 Use the adjustment dial, placed on
the side of each front seat, to switch
on and select the level of heating re-
quired:
0 : Off.
1 : Low.

to set the temperature and fl ow of
blown air required:
0: Off.
1: Low.
2: Medium.
3: High.  Use the direction dial, placed on
each vent, to direct the output of the
blown air upwards, to the centre or
downwards.
When the control is activated, the
blown air arrives progressively to
reach a comfortable temperature. Do not use the "AIRWAVE" system
if a child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, the
"AIRWAVE" system stops working.
