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

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If
you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever
the

traffic

conditions.
Pay

close

attention

to

the

traffic

and

keep

your

hands

on

the

wheel

so

that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality

.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In

difficult

weather,

drive

smoothly,

anticipate

the

need

to

brake

and

increase the distance from other vehicles.
dRIVING ON FLOOdEd ROA
d S
If you are obliged to drive through water: We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could
cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.IMPORTANT!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating
and damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where
inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...)
might

come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
-

check that the depth of water does not exceed 10 cm, taking
account of waves that might be generated by other users,
-


drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not
exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
-


do not stop and do not switch of
f the engine.
On

leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make
several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a
qualified workshop.

IGNITION SWITCH
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to the reserve level, the \
system switches to energy economy mode: the power supply is cut off
automatically to preserve the remaining battery charge.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can stay on for a longer
period. When the engine is hot, the warning lamp does not
come
on.
STARTING-SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
It has 3 positions:
-
position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the key,
-
position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column unlocked, ignition on,
Diesel preheating, engine running,
-
position 3 (Starting).
STARTING THE ENGINE
With the parking brake applied and the gearbox in neutral or
position
N or P:
F

depress the clutch pedal fully (manual gearbox),


or
F press
the brake pedal firmly (automatic gearbox),
F

insert the key into the ignition switch; the system recognises
the

.
F

With a petrol engine, operate the starter motor by turning the key to
position 3

without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine
