Air conditioning A/C
The air conditioning only works with the engine

Pressing the button again switches
the function off; the LED goes off.
The air conditioning cannot operate when the

6. Air conditioning On/Off. For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the value 15 by turning till LO is

is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than the comfort temperature.
There is no need to alter the value

level of comfort quickly. The system will
use its maximum power in order to reach
the required level of comfort.

The value shown on the display is a level of
comfort, not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
This is the normal operating mode for the air
conditioning system. F
P
ress this button. The AUTO
symbol appears. When the engine is cold, the air flow will only
reach its optimum level gradually to prevent too
much cold air being distributed.
For your convenience the settings are stored
between two starts of your vehicle.
The automatic function will no longer be
maintained if you change a setting manually
(AUTO disappears).
Depending on the selected level of comfort, the
system controls the distribution, flow and intake of
air to ensure comfort and sufficient recirculation
of air in the passenger compartment. No further
adjustments are required.
F Rotate this control to the left
or to the right to decrease
or increase the value. A
setting of around 21 provides
optimum comfort. Nonetheless,
depending on your needs, a
setting between 18 and 24 is
typical.

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.

Removable snow shield
Depending on country, the removable snow
shield is installed on the lower part of the front
bumper, to avoid the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.Do not forget to remove the removable
snow shield when the exterior temperature
is higher than 10°C (no risk of snowfall) or
if you are towing.

This must be done at the inter vals specified in
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil grade
In all cases, the chosen oil must meet
the requirements in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake fluid level
Coolant levelWhen the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the electric fan. This
may operate with the ignition off; furthermore,
because the cooling system is under pressure,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by a quarter of a turn to allow the pressure to
drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap and top up the level with the coolant.
If coolant has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
To p p i n g u p
Oil change
The brake fluid must be changed at the
inter vals prescribed according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and MA X
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this indicates
a malfunction which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Only use coolant recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise you risk causing serious damage to
your engine.

Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are indicated
on the registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
your vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
GT W: Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never
exceed a speed of approximately 60 mph
(100
km/h) (obser ve the local legislation
in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
