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.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

Driving
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake, a continuous pull on the control lever Awill stop the vehicle. The dynamic stability control provides stability during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the DSC system is signalled by the lighting of this warning lamp, then braking stability is not guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A .
Emergency parking brake release
 If your vehicle has one, take out the vehicle chock B , located under the boot floor.  On a slope, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels, opposing the slope. On level ground, immobilise the vehicle by placing a chock in front or behind one of the front wheels.
In the event of fault with the electric parking brake or a battery failure, an emergency mechanical control can be used to manually release the parking brake.
 Immobilise the vehicle (or chock it if the brake pedal has not been released), with the engine running, by engaging first gear (manual gearbox, position P (automatic gearbox) or M or R (electronic gear control gearbox).  Switch of the engine, but leave the ignition on. If you are unable to immobilise the vehicle, do not operate this control and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
