control may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop

it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.

control out of range and out of sight of your
vehicle. You may stop it from working and the
remote control would have to be reinitialised.

the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency ser vices more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the remote control with you when leaving
the vehicle, even for a
short time.Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering to engage
the steering lock.
When purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.

Accumulations (water, dust, grime, salt,
etc.) on the inner sur face of the door
handle may affect detection.

handle using a cloth does not restore
detection, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
A sudden splash of water (stream of water,
high pressure jet washer, etc.) may be
identified by the system as the desire to
open the vehicle.

mechanical noise
from the locks.
If the boot is open, only the locking of the
other doors is carried out. The indicator
lamp in the button remains off. When locking from inside, the door mirrors
do not fold.
The indicator lamp also goes off when
unlocking one or more accesses.

recommendations for the
sliding side doors
The doors must only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for that of your
passengers, as well as for correct
operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a
door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate
the door and, in particular, be sure not to
leave children or animals near the door
controls without supervision.
The audible warning, illumination of
the "door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen are
there to remind you. Contact a
PEUGEOT

qualified workshop to
deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an
automatic car wash.
It is possible to drive with the right-hand
door open, to enable the transportation of
long loads.
The left-hand
door is kept closed by the
distinctive "yellow" lock, positioned at the
base of the door.
This closed door must not be used to
retain loads.
Driving with the right-hand door open is

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.
