Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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
in the boot free from obstructions.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic 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 order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment 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). If after an extended stop in sunshine, 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 condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Depending on version and country
of sale, the air conditioning system
contains fluorinated greenhouse gas
R13 4A
.
Gas capacity: 0.450
kg (+/- 0.025 kg),
GWP index 1,430 t (equivalent CO
2:
0.6 4 4 t).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly
as recommended 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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-
d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-
d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Star t,

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
switch on automatically if the light is poor or
during operation of the windscreen wipers.
They switch off again as soon as the ambient
light becomes bright enough or the windscreen
wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with daytime
running lamps.In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light.
As a result, the lighting will not come on
automatically. If necessary, you must
switch on the dipped beam headlamps
manually.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror. It is used for automatic illumination
of the headlamps and for the automatic
rain sensitive wipers.
Activation
F Turn the ring to the AUTO position. The activation of the
function is accompanied by a
message on the screen.
Deactivation
F Turn the ring for wards or rear wards. The deactivation of the function is accompanied
by a message on the screen.

come on, accompanied by the
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, an audible signal and a
message on the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
LED daytime running lamps
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the daytime
running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps, dipped or main headlamps
are switched on manually or automatically, the
daytime running lamps switch off.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the configuration
menu.
Guide-me-home lighting
Keeping the dipped beam headlamps on
temporarily after switching the ignition off makes
the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code and remain vigilant
whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
Driving 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.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – Risk
of fire!Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised 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.
In case of towing
If you are obliged to drive through water:
- c heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6
mph
(10
km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances 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. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity
to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.F
I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle. For more information on adjusting
the Headlamp beam
, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Starting and stopping

Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is active
only in manual mode.The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp in the
instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox , at a speed below
12
mph (20 km/h) (depending on version),
when you move the gear lever into neutral
and release the clutch pedal.
-
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox ,
when stationary or at a speed below 5
mph
(8
km/h), when you press the brake pedal or
move the gear selector into position N .
If your vehicle is so equipped, a time counter
calculates the total time spent in STOP mode
during a journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on using the key.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or several) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow this advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
