In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F t
o o
btain 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.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. t
h
anks to its
special active additive, 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).
F
t
o e
nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
th

e air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
th

e condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

the tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th
e system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system. t
h
is
reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
th

e system operates on condition that sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for example: wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th
is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings"
section).
th

e tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

movements or harsh brake applications.
F

S

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
th

e loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
th

e alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the inflation, repair or replacement of
the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th

e spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the the system for running
with the spare wheel fitted.
F
I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
th

e under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
th

e system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

menu 2/3 or 3/3 depending on the
instrument panel) .
F

P
ress and hold the INFO button for at least
3 seconds to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system.
Reinitialisation of the system is confirmed
by the flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
th

e under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.
Operating fault
the flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by
the display of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
th

is alert is also displayed if:

Parking sensors
this function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
this system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.
Audible assistance
the proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
the

system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear.
t
h

is is accompanied by an audible signal.
th

e indicator lamp in the button comes on to
confirm that the system is active.
th

e system is deactivated when you come out
of reverse gear.

the function is deactivated by pressing this
button. th e indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function.
t
h
e indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
the front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CV
t


gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
th

e front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
th

is supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
