consumption is high and when required
by the vehicle's electrical system
(particular weather conditions, electrical
overload...), the current supply to the

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

t
o ob
tain 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
Do n

ot cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F
Op

erate 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
ns
ure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We r

ecommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter.
tha
nks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F


t
o en
sure 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
If t

he system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a P
eu
ge
Ot d
ealer or
a qualified workshop.
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 a

ir conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
the c

ondensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
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.
Stop & Start
the heating and air conditioning
s ystems only work when the engine
is running.
to ma

intain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment, you can temporarily
deactivate the Stop & Start system (see
the corresponding section).

A few driving recommendations
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.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!
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.
Driving on flooded
roads
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!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
ch

eck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
de

activate the Stop & Start system,
-
dr

ive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10
k

m/h),
-
do n

ot stop and do not switch off 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 P
eu

ge
Ot d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
