Mirrors
Door mirrors
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/
defrosting of the heated door mirrors is
performed when the heated rear screen is
switched on.

select the corresponding mirror.
►

Move control
B in any of the four directions
to adjust.
►

Return control A

screen menu.
Otherwise, this setting can be carried out at a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic tilting in reverse gear
Depending on version, this function allows to
automatically tilt the mirrors downwards to assist
with parking manoeuvres in reverse gear.
With the engine running, on engaging reverse
gear, the mirror glasses tilt downwards.
They return to their initial position:
–

A
few seconds after coming out of reverse
gear.
–

Once the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10

km/h).
–

When the engine is switched off.
This function is set via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Interior rear view mirror

Automatic "electrochrome" model

This system automatically and progressively
transitions between day and night modes, using
a sensor that measures the light entering from
the rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.

Do not try to fold back a seat in the 3rd row
without having opened it until the backrest is
fully locked.
Do not leave anything on or underneath the
3
rd row seats when they are being folded.
Do not guide strap F when storing the seat -
your fingers may get jammed!
Removing the seats
Removing the right-hand seat first is

table position, you obtain a continuous

Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the "Air conditioning" touch
screen menu or are grouped together in the
control panel on the centre console.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
7. Adjustable and closable air vents, with blower
(depending on version)
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that 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 in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►

Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order

.
►

If 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, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, 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.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
► To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual air conditioning
The air conditioning system only operates with
the engine running.

air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates
interior air recirculation.
►

Press button

the engine running, but the ventilation and its
controls are available with just the ignition on.
Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in the
passenger compartment are automatic.
Press the Climate menu button to display

62
Ease of use and comfort
You can adjust the intensity of the
automatic Comfort programme by using the
"OPTIONS"
button to select a profile:
–
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
–
"Normal": offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
–
"Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
To change the current profile (shown by the
corresponding indicator lamp), press button

11
repeatedly until the desired profile is displayed:
The "

Normal" or "Fast" profiles are the most
comfortable for passengers in the rear seats.
This profile setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of the
AUTO mode, the indicator lamp for the most
recently selected profile remains on.
Changing the profile setting does not reactivate
AUTO mode if it was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
Automatic Visibility programme
For more information on button 8, refer to the
“Front Demisting/Defrosting ” section.
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5
°C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using the " OPTIONS" button,
then press button 12.
Manual control
You can manually adjust one or more of these
functions, while retaining automatic control of the
