Dashboard instruments
1Thermal comfort
consumption indicator
(Electric)


The gauge shows the consumption of the
traction battery's electrical energy by the thermal
comfort devices in the passenger compartment.
The devices in question are the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment can be used:
–
If the vehicle is not plugged in, when the
READY

lamp is lit.
–

If the vehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on ("Lounge" mode).
Selecting ECO

mode limits the performance
of some of this equipment. The needle on the
thermal comfort consumption indicator then
moves into the "ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling
setting.
When the heating is on maximum, the gauge
on the thermal comfort consumption indicator
is in the MAX zone. When the air conditioning
is on maximum, it stays in the ECO zone.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.
Distance recorders
The total and trip distances are displayed for thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.
Total distance recorder



This measures the total distance travelled by the
vehicle since its initial registration.
Trip distance recorder (Diesel)



This measures the distance travelled since it was
last reset by the driver.

Interior volumetric monitoring
The system only checks for any
variation in volume in the cab.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window or enters the
vehicle’s cab; however it is not
triggered if someone enters the
loading area.
The system checks for any
variation in volume in the
passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone
breaks a window, enters the
passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.
Self-protection function
The system checks whether any of its
components are out of service.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central
control or the siren wiring is put out of service or
damaged.
Work on the alarm system

Incorrect use of the table can cause
serious injury.
Never use the table in the open or deployed
position while the vehicle is in motion. In the
event of sudden braking, any object placed on
the table can become a projectile.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in
the low position before setting off.
Never use the table tops as seats or lean on
them.
A label attached to the side of the table
serves as a reminder of this.
Never place hot objects such as
saucepans or frying pans on the table
- risk of damaging the surface and starting a
fire!
When the table is deployed, each table
top can support a maximum of 10 kg. If
you exceed the maximum weight limit, you
risk damaging part or all of the table.
Never lift the table when it is between
individual seats; you risk damaging the table
tops.


Before moving the table or an individual
seat forwards or backwards, make sure
that the seat's backrest is upright and the
table is stowed.


When stowing the table tops, never place
your hand inside the slide area - risk of
trapping your fingers! Use the handle
provided.
Heating and Ventilation
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 good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
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.
► To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.


Contains R134A fluorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity
0.5

kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO
2 equivalent: 0.715 t).
Stop & Start
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 & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selecting this mode reduces electrical
energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air
conditioning systems, although it does not
deactivate them.

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.
