As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A",
according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to select the most suitable gear:
once the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow the
advice straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator
only appears in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm,
ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air
conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down (window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature is
attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamp when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

Ventilation
Air intake flow
The incoming air follows various paths
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
-
p

assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).

Air distribution
Air intake

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.

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

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
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
F

T
o ensure 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 PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
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.
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.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

1. Temperature level adjustment
F Turn the control knob from blue (cold) to red (hot) to
adjust the temperature to your
requirements. This system only operates with the engine running.
2. Air flow adjustment
F Turn the control knob from
position 1 to position 4 to obtain
a comfortable air flow. If you put the air flow control in position 0

(system off), the temperature is no
longer controlled. However, a slight flow
of air can still be felt, resulting from the
movement of the vehicle.

Switching off
F Press the button 5 again, the associated indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation). The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment control 2
is in position " 0".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you can use
recirculation of interior air for a few moments.
Then return to fresh air intake.
Centre and side vents.
4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The recirculation of interior air insulates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.
