 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.

 ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) 
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (DSC) 
 These systems are linked and 
complement  the ABS. 
 The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and 
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on acceleration. 
 The system optimises drive to prevent 
the wheels skidding, by acting on the 
brakes of the drive wheels and on the 
engine. It also allows the directional 
stability of the vehicle to be improved 
on acceleration. 
 Use the DSC to hold your course 
without attempting to countersteer. 
 If there is a variation between the 
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the DSC 
system automatically acts on the 
engine and the brake of one or more 
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back 
on course. 
  Deactivating  the  ASR/DSC 
systems 
 In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud 
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could 
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and 
DSC systems to make the wheels spin 
and regain grip.   Operating  check 
  Good  practice 
 The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but 
should not incite the driver to take risks 
or to drive at high speed. 
 The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
components and the fi tting and repair 
procedures within the PEUGEOT 
network are observed. 
 After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.  
  Operation of the ASR and DSC 
systems 
 The LED fl ashes when the 
ASR or DSC is triggered.  
  They  engage  again: 
   -   automatically  above  30  mph  (50 km/h),   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning 
lamp comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a 
message in the screen. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to have the system 
checked. 
 The warning lamp may also come on if 
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the 
pressure of each tyre.   
   -   Press  the  button  or  turn  the dial to the DSC OFF 
position (depending on 
model). 
  -   The warning lamp comes on: the  ASR and DSC systems no longer 
come into play.  
  -   manually  by  pressing  the button again or by turning 
the dial to this position 
(depending  on  model).

   Airbags   
SAFETY
4
 AIRBAGS 
 The airbags have been designed to 
maximise the safety of the occupants 
in the event of a serious collision; 
they work in conjunction with the force 
limiting seat belts.  In the event of a serious collision, the 
electronic detectors record and analyse 
the front and side impacts suffered in 
the impact detection zones: 
   -   in the event of a serious impact, 
the airbags infl ate instantly and 
contribute towards better protecting 
the occupants of the vehicle. 
Immediately after the impact, the 
airbags defl ate rapidly, so that they 
do not hinder the visibility of the 
occupants nor their possible exit 
from the vehicle.    -   in the event of a minor or rear 
impact and in certain roll-over 
conditions, the airbags will not be 
deployed; the seat belt alone is 
suffi cient to contribute towards your 
protection in these situations.  
 The seriousness of the collision 
depends on the nature of the obstacle 
and the speed of the vehicle at the 
moment of impact.

   Towing  a  trailer   
ACCESSORIES

  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 
  Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter   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.  
 An access fl ap allows 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). 
 Refer to the servicing and warranty 
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.
