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.
