CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
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 P
euge O t
dealer or

a qualified workshop.VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
-

2 adjustable central vents,
-


2 adjustable and closing side vents,
-


2 vents directed towards the floor of the

vehicle.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
is high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
t

he air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity.

Intake of exterior air
this is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air
this position should only be
temporary .
u

sed with the air conditioning
switched on and using the
appropriate air fan setting (from 1 to 4),
recirculation enables you to obtain the
desired level of comfort with either hot or
cold settings.
Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Defrosting is faster in this
position.
Once the required level of comfort has been
reached, return to the intake of exterior air
position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
t
he system monitors the pressures on the
four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
four wheel speed sensors with reference
values, which must be reinitialised every
time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a
wheel changed.
t

he system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of
one or more tyres.
t
he under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
t

his system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
under arduous condition (high loading, high
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
t

he inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
tyre pressures should be checked when the


tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour
or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied the display of a
message,depending on equipment.
F
Reduce speed immediately

, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking
F
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to


do so.
t

he loss of pressure detected does
not always cause visible bulging of the
tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
In the event of a puncture, use the


temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
if you have a compressor

, such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit,
check the pressures of the four tyres
when cold,
or
F
if it is not possible to make this check


immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
t

he alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

GENERAL POINTS ON 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 inflate instantly and contribute
towards best protecting the occupants of
the vehicle. Immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate 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 contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
t

he seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
t

his equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
t
he deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of smoke
and some noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
t
his smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
t
he noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.t he passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated if a child seat is installed in the
rearward facing position.
Refer to the "Safety - Children on
board" section.

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,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "
l evels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
t

he air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine.
t

he maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "
t
echnical data -


Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
P
euge O t towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
euge O t towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P

euge O t

dealer

, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
t

he operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Refer to the "
t
echnology on board -


Parking sensors" section.

CHECKS
Bleeding water from the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
to remove the water
, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out.
t

hen tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a P euge O t
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
t

he replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
u

nless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
t

he presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
t

he involvement of a P
euge
O
t
dealer


or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks -
u
nder the
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
specialist knowledge, which all P
euge
O
t

dealers have.
