VENTILATION
AIR INTAKE
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of\
the
windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
AIR FLOW PATHS
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the control
positions selected by the driver:
-

direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
-


passage through a heating circuit (heating),
-


passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfort
required

by mixing the air of the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the
passenger compartment combining several air vents.
The
air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation blower

.

with the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef

fectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
2. driver's side adjustment
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells only.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the
temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level
of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
F

T

urn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right respectively to decrease
or increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However,
depending

on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
Y

ou are advised to avoid a left / right setting difference of more than 3. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change
the

value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required.
The

system corrects the dif

ference in temperature automatically and
as

quickly as possible.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
CHILdREN AT THE FRONTThe incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child
seat, as this could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses
keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even
for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the
seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the
child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger
seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary

.
At
rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between
the front seat and:
-


a rearward facing child seat,
-

the child's feet for a child seat fitted forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat forwards and, if necessary, move
its backrest into the upright position.
For optimum installation of the forward facing child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat , in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before installing a child seat
with backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to
prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
braking. Refit the head restraint when the child seat is
removed. The legislation on carrying children on the front passenger seat
is

specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your
country

.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when a rearward facing child
seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
INSTALLING A BOOSTER SEA T
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's
shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the
child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fitted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
-


a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun,
with the windows closed,
-


the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

Charging
F Disconnect the (+) terminal.
F
Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the
charger

.
F

Connect the charger's red cable to the (+) terminal of the battery
,
then the black cable to the (-) terminal.
F

Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger cables in
reverse order

.
Charging should be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from
naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid any risk
of

explosion and fire.
Do
not try to charge a frozen battery; first thaw it out so as to
avoid the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before charging, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT


dealer or qualified workshop who will ensure that the
internal components have not been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would cause a leak of toxic and corrosive
acid.
REINITIALISATION AFTER RECONNECTION
After any reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait at
least one minute before starting, to allow time for the initialisation o\
f the
electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you should set or initialise\

the following systems yourself:
-

remote control,
-


electric windows and automatic partial opening of door glasses,
-


time and date,
-


audio and navigation system settings.
Check that no alert message or warning lamp comes on after switching
on the ignition.
However

, if minor problems persist after carrying out these operations,
contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
