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.
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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m

3of 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.

Ease of use and comfort
3When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the selected comfort level.
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.
Manual mode

* Depending on version.
Use the stowing rings on the side panels to
secure loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
we recommend placing heavy objects as far
forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).
We recommend immobilising the load by firmly
securing it using the stowing rings present on the
sides of the loading bay. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Ease of use and comfort
3Load retaining partition

On the structure of the loading bay, behind the
rear window, a vertical separation protects the
driver and passengers against the risk of load
movement.
Bars separate the loading area from the cab.
Retractable hooks, integrated into the upper bar,
are used to secure the loads in the loading bay.
Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine technical
data and towed loads , refer to the
corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are
compatible with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s field
of vision.
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere
with driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side wall panels,
or push it against the side wall panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Secure all loads firmly using the stowing
rings present on the side panels of the
loading bay.
For more information on the Loading bay
fittings, and in particular on the stowing
rings, refer to the corresponding section.
To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the load must be made stable so that it
cannot slide, tip over, fall or be projected. To
do this, use only retaining straps that conform
to current standards (DIN, for example).
For more information on putting straps in
place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must
not be any empty spaces between the load
items and the vehicle wall panels.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing the vehicle, never clean
the interior directly with a water jet.
12 V accessory socket
(Depending on version)

► To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 W), lift the cover and plug in a
suitable adaptor.
►

4Fast wiping.
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wipers active, you must
operate the control stalk again to reactivate
wiping when the ignition is switched on again
(unless the ignition was off for less than
a

minute).
Decreasing or increasing the wiping
frequency


► Rotate the ring to increase/decrease
the wiping frequency (with " INT
" or
"AUTO" wiping position).
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Changing a wiper blade
To check that the wiper blades have not become rough, gently slide your finger
along the blade.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wipers, it
is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

clean the windscreen regularly with a
special detergent.
–


avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.
For safety reasons and to avoid
damaging the windscreen or the
windscreen wiper blades, always clean them
if foreign bodies
are present (for example:
sand, dust, oil, bird droppings).
Never use petrol, thinner or another similar
solvent to clean the wiper blades.
Never shake, rotate or bend the wiper arm
and blade.
Removing/Refitting at the front

► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
►

Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
