Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
-
l
ower the temperature, in summer,
-
i

ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.
Switching on
F Press this button, its indicator lamp comes on. The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for
a
few moments. Then return to the intake
of exterior air.
Switching off
F Press this button again, its indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity, condensation).
Maximum air conditioning
This function allows faster cooling of the air in
the passenger compartment.
The system automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, air
distribution towards the centre and outer vents,
air flow to maximum and activates recirculation
of interior air.

Footwells.
The air distribution can be adapted by using
several buttons: illumination of the indicator
lamp confirms the presence of fan boosted air
in the direction indicated, the indicator lamp off
indicates the absence of fan boosted air in the
direction indicated.
For a

uniform distribution of air in the
passenger compartment, the three buttons can
be activated simultaneously.

F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a

f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a
break-in.

Very cold climate screen
(Depending on country of sale.)
Prevents snow from accumulating at the
radiator cooling fan.
This removable device consists of two
elements to be attached to the front bumper. For fitting and removing the screen, it is
recommended that you get in touch with
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before fitting or removing a screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped.

improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.

Fitting directly to the roof
You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located in the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle
doors when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.Maximum load distributed across the
transverse roof bars, for a
load height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg
.
For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a
long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed. Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.
Bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.

Petrol engine(s)
Diesel engine(s)Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Practical information

234
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
The check and top up must only be done with
the engine cold. Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
-
5
.3 litres for the "very cold climate"
versions.
-
2
.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve the
elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
