-

In certain cases of particularly ardu-

ous use (towing the maximum load

on a steep gradient in a high temper-

ature), cutting off the air conditioning

permits recovery of the engine power

and, therefore improvement of the

towing capacity.

Ensure that the passenger com-

partment ilter, located by the wind-

screen, under the bonnet, is in good

condition. Have the ilter elements

replaced regularly. If you drive in a

dusty environment, change them

twice as often.

VENTILATION

Advice on operation and

notes

1. Windscreen de-icing or

demisting vents.

2. Front door windows de-icing or

demisting vents.

3. Side vents.

4. Centre vents.

5. Air outlet to front footwells.

6. Air outlet to rear footwells (with

automatic air conditioning only).

Place the air low control at a level

suficient to ensure an adequate re-

newal of air in the passenger com-

partment.

When the air low control is in the

OFF position (system switched off),

temperature-related comfort is no

longer guaranteed. However, a slight

low of air, due to the movement of

the vehicle, can still be felt.

Select the air distribution which is

most suited to your requirements and

the weather conditions.

Change the temperature setting pro-

gressively for greater comfort.

Place the air intake control in the

"Exterior air" position, this facilitates

demisting.

The air conditioning system does not

contain chlorine and does not present

any danger to the ozone layer.

Operate the air conditioning system

for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a

month to keep it in perfect working

order.

The water formed by the condensa-

tion of the air conditioning system is

discharged via an opening provided

for this purpose. Therefore, a pud-

dle may form underneath the vehicle

when stationary.

If the system does not produce

cold air, do not use it and contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

If the interior temperature remains

very high following a long period

parked in the sun, do not hesitate to

ventilate the passenger compartment

for a few minutes.

To obtain a perfectly uniform distribu-

tion of air, do not cover the exterior

air intake grille, the vents, the air pas-

sages and the air outlets in the foot-

wells.

Note: for your comfort, the values

set when the engine is switched off

are retained on re-starting if the tem-

perature in the passenger compart-

ment has not changed signiicantly;

otherwise, operation resumes in au-

tomatic mode.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.

When the engine is cold, to prevent

too great a distribution of cold air, the

ventilation will only reach its optimum

level gradually.

On entering the vehicle, if the interior

temperature is much colder or warm-

er than is comfortable, there is no

need to change the value displayed

in order to reach the required level of

comfort. The system eliminates the

temperature difference automatically

and as quickly as possible.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING

TO CHILD SEATS

INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT

USING A THREE POINT SEAT

BELT

Although one of PEUGEOT’s main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.

"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, it is essential that the passen-

ger air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seri-

ously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inlate.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, adjust the vehicle’s seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger air bag armed.

For maximum safety, please follow

these precautions:

-

in accordance with Directive

2003/20, all children under

the age of 12 or less than one

metre ifty tall must travel in

approved child seats suited to

their weight, on seats itted with

a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*,

-

statistically, the safest

seats in your vehicle for the

transportation of children are

the rear seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position both in the

front and in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-

dren should travel in the rear seats

of your vehicle:

-

"rearwards-facing" up to the

age of 2,

"forwards-facing" over the age

of 2.

-

Intermediate longitudinal

position

* The rules for transporting children

are speciic to each country. Con-

sult the current legislation in your

country.

ADVICE ON CHILD

SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child’s protection in the event of an

accident.

Remember to fasten the seat belts

or the child seat harnesses keeping

the slack in relation to the child’s

body to a minimum, even for short

journeys.

For optimum installation of the "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle’s seat

and that the head restraint does not

cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be removed,

ensure that it is stored or attached se-

curely to prevent it from being thrown

around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forward facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied

by other children, cannot be used or

are absent.

Disarm the passenger air bag when

a "rear facing" child seat is installed

on the front seat. Otherwise, the child

would risk being seriously injured or

killed if the air bag were to inlate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

-

one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

-

a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

-

the keys within reach of children

inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear win-

dows by more than one third.

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, it side blinds on the

rear windows.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must

be positioned on the child’s shoulder

without touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat

belt passes correctly over the child’s

thighs.

PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, it-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.
