Ease of use and comfort
3Offers the best compromise between a
comfortable temperature and quiet
operation.
Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only increase to its optimum level
gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold
air.
In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of
warm air to the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells only.
Manual mode
If you wish, you can make a different choice from
that suggested by the system, by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be controlled
automatically.
The "AUTO" symbol disappears if you change
a setting.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol
disappears.
This disables all functions of the dual-zone
automatic air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
►

Press button
2 "+" to switch the system on
again.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the
temperature to suit their preferences.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
►

Push button
1 down to decrease the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is significantly colder or
warmer than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach the required level of comfort.
The system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as quickly
as possible.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
►

Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►

Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►


Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►

Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►


During long trips, take a break every two
hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,
even several minutes after the engine stops.
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on the
type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
►

deactivate the Stop & Start function,
►


drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
►

do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow

, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.

and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the
wind that the vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special 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.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
Starting/switching off the
engine
Starting
The parking brake must be applied.
►

With a manual gearbox, shift the gear lever
into neutral, press the clutch pedal to the floor
and keep the pedal down until the engine runs.
►


With
an automatic gearbox, place the selector
in position P then depress the brake pedal.
With the conventional key / With the

Driving
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain circumstances, you may have
to turn the steering wheel firmly to move
the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb,
for example).
►

T

urn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to
activate the engine pre-heating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal,
to operate the starter motor until the engine
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some
climatic conditions, the following
recommendations should be followed:
–

In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
at idle to warm up but move off straight away
and drive at moderate speed.
–


Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and the exterior
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’

s
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm,
depending on the cooling requirements.
–

In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning
lamp will stay on for a longer period after
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off
before starting.
– In very severe wintry
conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to
ensure correct operation and durability of your
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine running for
4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
With petrol engines , after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor
and the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals: – only use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle; these
fixings must be used,
–

never place one mat on top of another
.
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT
may interfere with access to the pedals and
hinder the operation of the cruise control /
speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have two
fixings located below the seat.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting

► Place the remote control inside the vehicle, in
the recognition zone.
► Press the “ START/STOP” button.
