Advice on operation

To obtain even ventilation, avoid
closing the air diffuser grille 10.

If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen­ger compartment for a few minutes.

For even air distribution, take care
not to obstruct the exterior air intake
grille located at the bottom of the
windscreen, the vents, the air out­lets under the front seats and the air
extractor located behind the aps in
the boot.

Do not block sensors 2 and 9.
When towing a trailer with a consid-

erable load and when the exterior
temperature is very high, the air con­ditioning may be cut off temporar­ily if the engine cooling makes this
necessary.

Pull the blinds on the rear door
windows and the rear screen.

Close the windows to benet from
the full effectiveness of the air
conditioning.

1. Centre panel vents.

2. Temperature and humidity

sensor.

3. Adjustment of the glove box

air ow (see section "Interior
layout").

4. Air outlet to passenger

footwells.

5. Two ventilation vents at

the rear at the base of the
centre console between the
passengers.

6. Side vents.

7. Front windows de-icing or

demisting vents.

8. Windscreen de-icing or

demisting vents.

9. Sunshine sensor.

10. Air diffuser grille.

AUTOMATIC REGULATION
OF THE AIR CONDITIONING

Use of the automatic regulation of
the air conditioning is recommended.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func­tions: air ow, passenger compart­ment temperature, air distribution,
economy or air recirculation mode,
by means of various sensors (exteri­or temperature, interior temperature,
sunshine), so preventing the need
for you to change your reference set­tings other than the value displayed.
In addition, a humidity sensor antici­pates the formation of condensation
in the vehicle during its use.

Air diffuser

The air diffuser grille, located at the
top of the centre console, signicantly
improves distribution and ows
and prevents air currents, while
maintaining an optimum temperature
inside the passenger compartment.

When the engine is cold, to
prevent too great a distribu­tion of cold air, the ventilation
will only reach its optimum

level progressively.
On entering the vehicle, the interior

temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the tempera­ture displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required rapidly.

The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

THE ALARM

This provides two types of surveil­lance:

- exterior protection: it sounds if

a door, the boot or the bonnet is
opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if the

volume inside the passenger compart­ment changes (breaking of a window
or a movement inside the vehicle).

When the alarm is triggered, the
siren sounds and the direction indi­cator lights ash for approximately
thirty seconds.

After triggering, the alarm remains
set, ten times in succession.

On the eleventh time it will become
inactive again, until the next cycle of
disarming then setting of the alarm.

Warning: if button A indicator light
ashes rapidly, the alarm has been
triggered while you were away from
your vehicle.

Note: if the alarm has been triggered
in your absence, this ashing stops
when the ignition is switched on.

Remote control failure,
alarm set

F Unlock the doors with the key

and open the door. The alarm is
triggered.

F Switch on the ignition. The alarm

is disarmed.

* According to country.

Setting the alarm

F Switch off the ignition and get out

of the vehicle.

F Set the alarm, by locking or dead-

locking using the remote control
(button A indicator light ashes
once per second).

If you wish to lock or deadlock your
vehicle without setting the alarm,
lock it (one turn of the key) or dead­lock it (a second turn within ve sec­onds maximum) using the lock.

Disarming

Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control key.

The alarm is disarmed, indicator light A
goes out when the ignition is switched on
(unless the alarm has been triggered).

To set the alarm with exterior
protection only

If, while you are away from the ve­hicle, you wish to leave a window
partially open or a pet inside the
vehicle, you should choose exterior
protection only.

F Switch off the ignition,
F In the next ten seconds, press

button A until the indicator light is
on continuously,

F Get out of the vehicle,
F Set the alarm by locking or dead-

locking using the remote control
(button A indicator light ashes
once a second).

Incorrect operation

When the ignition is switched on, if
button A lights for ten seconds, there
is a fault in the siren connection.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

Automatic activation*

The alarm is activated automatically
two minutes after the last closure of a
door or the boot.

In order to avoid accidental triggering
of the alarm when a door or the boot
is opened, it is essential to press the
unlocking button on the remote con­trol again.

When the alarm is set, if a
door, the tailgate or the bon­net is not closed correctly,

the siren is triggered briey.
If the vehicle is closed correctly with­in the next 45 seconds, the alarm is
set. In all cases, the alarm is set after
45 seconds.

The auto-adaptive program

F select position D in the gate: the

gearbox operates in auto-adap­tive mode, without any action on
your part, taking into account the
following parameters:

- the style of driving,

- the prole of the road,

- the vehicle load.

To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the lever, press the
accelerator down fully (kick down).
The program will change down au­tomatically or will stay in the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.

When the brake is applied, the
program will change down auto­matically in order to provide efcient
engine braking.

Note:

Releasing the accelerator sharply
does not have any immediate effect
on the speed of the vehicle.

WARNING

Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.

Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.

Never change between positions
to optimise braking on a slippery
surface.

Sport and Snow programs

These are two special programs.
The program selected is displayed

on the instrument panel screen.

Sport program

F Press button S once the vehicle

has been started in position D, the
auto-adaptive program favours
dynamic driving.

Snow program

This program improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.

F Press button T once the vehicle

has been started and position
D has been selected, the auto­adaptive program adjusts the
performance of the vehicle to the
condition of the slippery road.

You can deactivate the Sport or
Snow program at any time by press­ing the button selected.

Notes:

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit. If they do
not, the vehicle will operate tempo­rarily in automatic mode.

When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox
automatically selects gear M1.

Programs S (sport) and T (snow) do
not operate in manual gear selection
mode.

Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied

by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function dis­play.

In this situation the gearbox oper­ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R
and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).

Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or
keep within local speed limits.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

If the battery is at and the lever is
in position P, it will be impossible to
change to another position.

In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS)

The ABS increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip­pery road surfaces.

This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press very
rmly without releasing the pres­sure.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres

and rims), make sure that these are
approved.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.

It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the re­sistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking efciency.

This indicates that the ABS
is faulty.

It comes on on the instru­ment panel screen also.

If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.

However, the vehicle retains conven­tional servo-assisted braking.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)

This system is linked and comple­mentary to the ABS system.

In the event of a signicant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel
and acts automatically on the engine
and on the brake of one or more
wheels, to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limit of the laws of
physics.

Disarming the ESP

In exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when it is stuck in the
mud, immobilised in snow, on unsta­ble ground...), it may be advisable to
disarm the ESP.

F Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-

cated on the centre console.

risks (late braking) or drive at high
speed.

Correct operation of the system de­pends on compliance with the manu­facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the brak­ing components, the electronic com­ponents and the PEUGEOT assembly
and operation procedures.

After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and
the vehicle's road holding capabili­ties. The suspension favours smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfort­able ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving,
tight bends, avoidance action, etc.)
it automatically selects rmer shock
absorption, guaranteeing optimum
road holding.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.

This detects any obstacle (person,
cyclist, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) be­hind the vehicle. Nevertheless, it
cannot detect obstacles located just
below the bumper.

Warning: an object, such as a stake,
a roadworks cone or any other simi­lar object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.

To make manoeuvres in reverse gear
easier, adjust your mirrors in accord­ance with the "Automatic tilting of the
mirrors in reverse gear" function.

Maintenance: ensure that the sen­sors are not covered with mud, frost
or snow.

Deactivation

If there is an operating fault,
on changing to reverse gear
a warning light on the instru-

ment panel, an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display indicate that there is a sys­tem malfunction.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Your vehicle's rear speakers emit an
audible signal:

- on the right if an obstacle is
detected on the right,

- on the left if an obstacle is detected
on the left,

- on the right and left if an obstacle is
detected in the centre.

When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ve centi­metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

Activation

The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.

The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach­es the obstacle.

Switching the system off

F Change to neutral, the system is

again inactive.

F Press the switch on the

centre console.

The indicator light on the switch
comes on and the system becomes
completely inactive.

vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.

The tyre under-ination detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re­sponsibly.

This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur­er's label on the door pillar) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform­ance of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving condi­tions (heavy load, high speed).

The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem­ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.

The tyre under-ination detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
