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 at the rear.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, located at the top of the windscreen; this is used for 
regulation of the air conditioning system.
F
  o
p
 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
n
 sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
 W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks 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 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 P
e
 ugeo
T d
 ealer or 
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for heating, 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.
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 
systems only work when the engine is 
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment, you can 
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t , 
refer to the corresponding section.
Air vents
To close a vent, move the control 
towards the outside of the vehicle. Slight 
resistance may be felt.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to 
the axle and the nose weight approaches 
the maximum permitted without exceeding it
.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing engine performance. Above 
1
 
000
 
metres, the maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10
 
% for every 1
 
000 metres of 
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity  to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling 
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
 
T
 o lower the engine speed, reduce your 
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline 
depends on the gradient and the ambient 
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.
F
 
I
 f the warning lamp and the 
STOP  warning lamp come on, 
stop the vehicle and switch off 
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of 
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing  vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam 
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer 
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine P
e
ugeo
T 
t
owbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it 
is recommended that the engine be 
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after 
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate 
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the 
headlamp beam height
, refer to the 
corresponding section.

Starting using another 
battery
Never try to start the engine by 
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery 
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a 
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity 
at least equal to that of the discharged 
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact 
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on 
both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 
lighting, ...).
en
sure that the jump lead cables do 
not pass close to moving parts of the 
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when 
the engine is running. F
 
R
 aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, 
if your vehicle has one.
F
 
C
 onnect the red cable to the positive 
terminal (+) of the flat battery A  (at the metal 
elbow) then to the positive terminal
  (+) of the 
slave battery B  or the booster.
F
 
C
 onnect one end of the green or black 
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the 
slave battery B or the booster (or earth 
point on the other vehicle).
F
 
C
 onnect the other end of the green or black 
cable to the earth point C on the broken 
down vehicle.
F
 
S
 tart the engine of the vehicle with the 
good battery and leave it running for a few 
minutes.
F
  o
p
 erate the starter on the broken down 
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments 
before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the 
engine can be started using a slave battery 
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead 
cables or a battery booster.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, 
are not available if the battery is not 
sufficiently charged.
F
 
W
 ait until the engine returns to idle then 
disconnect the jump lead cables in the 
reverse order.
F  
R
 efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if 
your vehicle has one.
F  
A
 llow the engine to run for at least 
30   minutes, by driving or with the vehicle 
stationary, so that the battery reaches an 
adequate state of charge.
