Advice
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
located at the rear free from obstructions.
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
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes, once or twice
a
month, to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating air
quality inside the passenger compartment,
you should not deactivate the system for
too long and you should avoid extended
operation of the air recirculation system
when driving.
F

E
nsure that the cabin filter is in good
condition and have the filter elements
replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a
combined
cabin 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 according to
the recommendations 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. If after an extended period parked
in the sun, the interior temperature
is very high, first air 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.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of
water under the vehicle when stationary
which is per fectly normal.

Lighting and visibility

82
When the lighting is left on
An audible signal when a front door is
opened warns the driver that the vehicle's
exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off
and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
The lighting goes off when you switch off
the ignition, but you can always switch it
on again using the lighting control stalk.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a
country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, use of the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury.Direction indicators

windscreen behind the rear view mirror
(depending on equipment); the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.
