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.

Partitions
Panel, glazed, mid-height panel with grille
and modular vertical grille type partitions are
available for your light van.
Carrying passengers in the load space
is not permitted.
It is advisable to immobilise the load
by securing it firmly using the stowing
rings on the floor.
t
he torch's storage batteries recharge
automatically while driving.

REAR FITTINGS
Stowing rings
there are 4 stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your luggage.
Luggage retaining net
Hooked onto the stowing rings, this enables
you to secure your luggage.
Rear shelf
unfold the shelf to conceal the contents of
the boot from view .
Fold the shelf back on itself for easier
access to the contents of the boot.
Stow the shelf behind the rear bench seat
when loading bulky items vertically.
Removing the shelf
Fold the shelf back on itself.
Lift the shelf to approximately 60°.
u
nclip the shelf's side fixings from its
supports.
Remove the shelf.
Stow the folded shelf in the location behind
the rear bench seat.
to refit the shelf, carry out these operations
in reverse order.

REAR PARKING SENSORS
the audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper .
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
t
his system does not take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.Ending operation
Come out of reverse gear and into neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message in the
screen, contact a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
t
he proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
t
his function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by P
euge O t
and have it
installed by a qualified workshop.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been
released properly, this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
t
here is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with
the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the
rear wheels (risk of skidding).
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
t
hey operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lamps are
switched on, the change of direction
function, using the right-hand or left-hand
direction indicator, is deactivated.

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.

LATERAL AIRBAGS
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
t
he lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.
In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
P euge O t
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have
the system checked.
t
he airbags
may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
