"Peugeot Adaptive LED Technology"
With the Full LED 3D rear lamps, the
lamps illuminate in a scrolling pattern upon
locking and unlocking the vehicle.
If one of the doors or the boot is still open
or if the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Start

system has been left inside
the vehicle, central locking will not take place.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or
tailgate are not subsequently opened, the
vehicle will automatically lock itself again after
about 30
seconds. If fitted to the vehicle, the
alarm is automatically reactivated (if
previously activated).
Automatic folding/unfolding of the door mirrors is configured in the Settings
>
Vehicle touch screen application.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle, even for a short time, without
taking the Keyless Entry and Start system’s
electronic key with you.
Be aware of the risk of theft of the vehicle if
the key is present in one of the defined areas
while the vehicle is unlocked.
To preserve the battery charge in the electronic key and the vehicle's battery,
the "hands-free" functions are set to
hibernation mode after 21 days without use.
To restore these functions, press one of the
remote control buttons or start the engine with
the electronic key in the reader.

A. Sunroof blind control
B. Sunroof control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45
seconds after
turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Do not operate the sunroof if transverse
roof bars are fitted - risk of serious
damage!
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a rain
shower or washing the vehicle, wait until
it is completely dry before operating it.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Regularly check the condition of the
sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust,
dead leaves).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure
jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is
possible.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle,
the partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.
Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If something is trapped when operating the
sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.

Ease of use and comfort
Memorising driving
positions
Associated with the electrically-adjusted driver’s
seat, this function allows two driving positions
to be memorised, to make these adjustments
easier if there are frequent driver changes.

have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
illness,
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–


Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–


Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–


Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.

3Advice
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 good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large 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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
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 system, refer to the corresponding
section.
Eco driving mode
Selection of this mode optimises fuel
consumption, but limits the performance
of the heating and air conditioning, without
however deactivating them.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Intensive use of the air conditioning
reduces the vehicle range in Electric mode.
Ventilation with the ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, the ventilation
system and the air flow 2 and air distribution
3 settings in the passenger compartment are
activated, for a period which depends on the
battery charge.
This function does not include the air
conditioning system.
Dual-zone automatic air
conditioning
This system automatically controls the activation
of the air conditioning system, regulating the
temperature, air flow and air distribution inside
the passenger compartment.

management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
►

Press button
5-AUTO to activate/deactivate
the automatic mode of the air conditioning
system.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
The intensity of the automatic air conditioning
is modulated by choosing one of the following
settings:
–

AUT
O SOFT : provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow.
–

AUT
O NORMAL: offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
–

AUT
O FAST: provides dynamic and efficient
air distribution.
To change the AUTO mode, press button
5-AUTO successively.
To ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour settings AUTO NORMAL and AUTO
FAST.
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.
