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.

- Certain road sign qualifier plates detected by the camera (e.g. the speed limit if towing).Qualifier plate detected Display of the speed associated with
the qualifier plate
Speed limit in rain
Examples: If the wiper control stalk is in the
"intermittent wiping" or "automatic
wiping" position (so that the rain sensor is
activated):
68
mph (110 km/h) (for example)
Speed limit if towing If an approved towing device is fixed to the
vehicle:
56
mph (90 km/h) (for example)
Speed limit applicable over a
cer tain distance
Example: 43
mph (70 km/h) (for example)
Speed limit for vehicles whose gross vehicle
weight or gross train weight is less than
3.5
tonnes 56
mph (90 km/h) (for example)
Speed limit in snow
Example: If the exterior temperature is below 3°C:
19
mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "snowflake" symbol
Speed limit at cer tain times
Example: 19
mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "clock" symbol The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a
driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic
conditions.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed
limit sign within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs.
