Motoring & the environment
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest 
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the 
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind 
resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). 
u
se a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your 
summer tyres.
observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to 
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
 
before a long journey
 ,
-
 
at each change of season,
-
 
after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or 
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil 
filter
, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and 
observe the schedule of operations recommended in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a P
eugeo T 
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the 
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of 
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel 
consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion 
of hot or cool air in the passenger 
compartment, there are adjustable 
central and side vents which can 
be directed sideways (right or left) 
or vertically (up or down). For your 
comfort while driving, do not close 
them and direct the flow of air towards 
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed 
towards the windscreen complete the 
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the 
windscreen or the air extractor located 
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter 
(activated   carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits 
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good 
condition and have all of the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of 
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning 
should only be used with the 
windows closed. However, if the 
interior temperature remains high 
after a prolonged period parked in 
the sun, first ventilate the passenger 
compartment for a few minutes.
u
se the A u T
o
  mode as much as 
possible as it permits optimised 
control of all of the functions: air flow, 
passenger compartment comfort 
temperature, air distribution, air 
intake mode or air recirculation in the 
passenger compartment.
o
perate the air conditioning system for 
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, 
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air, 
do not use it and contact a P
eugeo T 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility 
programme
The comfort programme (A
u
T
o
) may 
not be sufficient to quickly demist or 
defrost the windows (humidity, several 
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility 
programme. The visibility programme 
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air 
flow and provides optimum distribution 
of the ventilation to the windscreen and 
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. 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.
