DRIVING

When the cruise control is switched

on, be careful if you maintain the

pressure on one of the programmed

speed changing buttons: this may

result in a very rapid change in the

speed of your vehicle.

Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy trafﬁ c.

On a steep descent, the cruise

control will not be able to prevent

the vehicle from exceeding the pro-

grammed speed.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the

pedals:

ensure that the mat is posi-

tioned correctly,

- never ﬁ t one mat on top of an-

other.

Programming



Turn wheel

1 to the "CRUISE"

position: the cruise control mode

is selected but is not switched on

(OFF / Pause).

Exceeding the programmed speed

Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed

speed results in ﬂ ashing of this speed on the display.

Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or

unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically can-

cels the ﬂ ashing of the speed.

Return to normal driving

 Turn wheel

1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode

is deselected.

Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-

tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

ﬂ ashing of the dashes.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a

qualiﬁ ed workshop.

 Set the programmed speed by ac-

celerating to the required speed,

then press button

3 (e.g.:

70 mph (110 km/h)).

 Switch off the cruise control by pressing button

4 : the dis-

play conﬁ rms that it has been switched off (OFF / Pause).

 Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button

again.

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons

and

3 :

- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

DRIVING

PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an

obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate,

etc.) which comes within the ﬁ eld of de-

tection of sensors located in the bumper.

Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-

works cone, etc.) detected initially will

no longer be detected at the end of the

manoeuvre due to the presence of blind

spots.

This function cannot, in any cir-

cumstances, take the place of the

vigilance and responsibility of the

driver.

Rear parking sensors

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an

intermittent audible signal, the frequen-

cy of which increases as the vehicle ap-

proaches the obstacle.

The sound emitted by the speaker (right

or left) indicates the side on which the

obstacle is located.

When the distance between the vehicle

and the obstacle becomes less than ap-

proximately thirty centimetres, the audi-

ble signal becomes continuous.

The system is switched on by engaging

reverse gear. This is accompanied by

an audible signal.

The system is switched off when you

come out of reverse gear.

This supplements the audible signal

by displaying bars in the multifunction

screen which move progressively near-

er to the vehicle. When the obstacle is

near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed

in the screen.

Visual assistance

129

DRIVING

Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors,

the front parking sensors are triggered

when an obstacle is detected in front

and the speed of the vehicle is still be-

low 6 mph (10 km/h).

The front parking sensors are interrupted

if the vehicle stops for more than three

seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-

stacles are detected or when the speed

of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front

or rear) indicates whether the obstacle

is in front or behind.

The function is deactivated by pressing

this button. The indicator lamp in the

button comes on.

Pressing this button again reactivates

the function. The indicator lamp in the

button goes off.

Deactivation / Activation of the rear

parking sensors

The function will be deactivated

automatically if a trailer is being

towed or a bicycle carrier is ﬁ tted

(vehicle ﬁ tted with a towbar or bi-

cycle carrier recommended by

PEUGEOT).

Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of

the system, when reverse gear

is engaged this warning lamp

is displayed in the instrument

panel and/or a message appears in the

screen, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal (short beep).

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure

that the sensors are not covered

with mud, ice or snow. When re-

verse gear is engaged, an audible

signal (long beep) indicates that

the sensors may be dirty.

Certain sound sources (motorcy-

cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may

trigger the audible signals of the

parking sensor system.

The function is deactivated

or activated via the vehicle

conﬁ guration menu.

The status of the function

is stored when the ignition

is switched off.

CHECKS

CHECKING LEVELS

Engine oil level

The check is carried out either

when the ignition is switched

on using the oil level indicator

in the instrument panel for ve-

hicles with and electric oil level gauge,

or using the dipstick.

It is normal to top up the oil level

between two services (or oil chang-

es). PEUGEOT recommends that

you check the level, and top up

if necessary, every 3 000 miles

(5 000 kms).

Take care when working under the

bonnet, as certain areas of the en-

gine may be extremely hot (risk of

burns) and the cooling fan could

start at any time (even with the ig-

nition off).

A = MAX

To ensure that the reading is correct,

your vehicle must be parked on a level

surface and the engine having been off

for more than 30 minutes.

Check all of these levels regularly, in

line with the warranty and maintenance

record. Top them up if necessary, un-

less otherwise indicated.

If a level drops signiﬁ cantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed work-

shop.

Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel

engine" section for the location of the

dipstick in the engine compartment of

your vehicle.

 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip

and remove it completely.

 Wipe the end of the dipstick using a

clean non-ﬂ uffy cloth.

 Reﬁ t the dipstick and push fully

down, then pull it out again to make

the visual check: the correct level is

between the marks

A and B .

B = MIN

If you ﬁ nd that the level is above the

mark or below the

B mark, do not start

the engine .

- If the level is above the

MAX mark

(risk of damage to the engine), con-

tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop.

- If the level is below the

MIN mark,

you must top up the engine oil.

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing

the oil, check that the oil is the correct

grade for your engine and conforms to

the manufacturer's recommendations.

136

CHECKS

Brake fluid level

The brake ﬂ uid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is

not, check the brake pad wear.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering ﬂ uid level

should be close to the "MAX"

mark. With the engine cold,

unscrew the cap to check the

level.

Changing the ﬂ uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance

record for details of the interval for this

operation.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-

ture of the coolant is regulated by the

fan.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be

close to the "MAX" mark but

should never exceed it.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might

become caught by the fan blades.

Fluid speciﬁ cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-

facturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁ cation
The brake ﬂ uid must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before carrying

out any work.

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew

the cap by two turns to allow the pres-

sure to drop. When the pressure has

dropped, remove the cap and top up

the level.

Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel

engine" section for the location of the oil

ﬁ ller cap in the engine compartment of

your vehicle.

 Unscrew the oil ﬁ ller cap to reveal

the ﬁ ller aperture.

 Add oil in small quantities, avoiding

any spills on engine components

(risk of ﬁ re).

 Wait a few minutes before checking

the level again using the dipstick.

 Add more oil if necessary.

 After checking the level, carefully re-

ﬁ t the oil ﬁ ller cap and the dipstick in

its tube.

After topping up the oil, the check

when switching on the ignition with

the oil level indicator in the instru-

ment panel is not valid during the

30 minutes after topping up.

Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance

record for details of the interval for this

operation.

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emission control system,

the use of additives in the engine oil is

prohibited.

137

CHECKS

Screenwash and headlamp

wash fluid

In the case of vehicles ﬁ tted

with headlamp washers, the

low ﬂ uid level is indicated by an

audible signal and a message

in the instrument panel screen.

Top up the reservoir when you next stop

the vehicle.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid

freezing, this ﬂ uid must not be topped

up with or replaced with plain water.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil

or ﬂ uids with the skin.

Most of these ﬂ uids are harmful to

health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or ﬂ uids

into sewers or onto the ground.

Take used oil to a PEUGEOT deal-

er or a qualiﬁ ed workshop (France)

or to an authorised waste disposal

site.

Used products

Diesel fuel additive level (Diesel

with particle emissions filter)

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-

out delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁ ed workshop.

The additive reservoir low level

is indicated by ﬁ xed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompa-

nied by an audible signal and a

message that the particle emis-

sions ﬁ lter additive level is too

low.

In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl

alcohol or methanol base ﬂ uid is recom-

mended.

138

CHECKS

Battery

The battery does not require any

maintenance.

However, check that the termi-

nals are clean and correctly tight-

ened, particularly in summer and

winter.

When carrying out work on the battery, refer

to the "Battery" section for details of the pre-

cautions to be taken before disconnecting

the battery and following its reconnection.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the warranty and

maintenance record for details

of the replacement intervals

for these components.

Depending on the environment

(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of

the vehicle (e.g. city driving),

replace

them twice as often if necessary .

A clogged passenger compartment ﬁ lter

may have an adverse effect on the per-

formance of the air conditioning system

and generate undesirable odours.

Oil filter

Replace the oil ﬁ lter each time

the engine oil is changed.

Refer to the warranty and

maintenance record for details

of the replacement interval for

this component.

The presence of this label, in particular

with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a speciﬁ c 12 V lead-acid bat-

tery with special technology and speciﬁ -

cation. The involvement of a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop is essen-

tial when replacing or disconnecting the

battery.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

On a new vehicle, the ﬁ rst particle

ﬁ lter regeneration operations may

be accompanied by a "burning"

smell, which is perfectly normal.

Following prolonged operation of

the vehicle at very low speed or at

idle, you may, in exceptional cir-

cumstances, notice the emission

of water vapour at the exhaust on

acceleration. This does not affect

the behaviour of the vehicle or the

environment.

The start of saturation of the

particle emissions ﬁ lter is in-

dicated by the temporary illu-

mination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message on the risk of

blockage of the particle emissions ﬁ lter.

As soon as the trafﬁ c conditions per-

mit, regenerate the ﬁ lter by driving at a

speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until

the warning lamp goes off.

If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the

"Additive level" section.

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the war-

ranty and maintenance record and accord-

ing to your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

CHECKS

Only use products recommended

by PEUGEOT or products of equiv-

alent quality and speciﬁ cation.

In order to optimise the operation

of units as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects

and offers very speciﬁ c products.

After washing the vehicle, damp-

ness, or in wintry conditions, ice

can form on the brake discs and

pads: braking efﬁ ciency may be

reduced. Make light brake applica-

tions to dry and defrost the brakes.

Brake disc wear

Brake pads

Parking brake

Brake wear depends on the

style of driving, particularly in

the case of vehicles used in

town, over short distances. It

may be necessary to have the

condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a

drop in the brake ﬂ uid level indicates

that the brake pads are worn.

For information on checking

brake disc wear, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop.

If excessive travel or a loss of

effectiveness of this system

is noticed, the parking brake

must be checked, even be-

tween two services.

Checking this system must be done by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed work-

shop.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).

Refer to the warranty and

maintenance record for the

details of the level checking

interval for this component.

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Repair procedure

1. Sealing

 Switch off the ignition.

 Uncoil the white pipe

G fully.



Unscrew the cap from the white

pipe.

 Connect the white pipe to the valve

of the tyre to be repaired.

 Connect the compressor's electric

plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

 Start the vehicle and leave the en-

gine running.

Avoid removing any foreign bodies

which have penetrated into the tyre.

Take care, this product is harmful

(e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...)

if swallowed and causes irritation

to the eyes.

Keep this product out of the reach

of children.

 Turn the selector

A to the

"sealant" position.

 Check that the switch

B is in

position

"O" .

142

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

 Switch on the compressor by mov-

ing the switch

B to position "I" until

the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.

The sealant is injected into the tyre

under pressure; do not disconnect

the pipe from the valve during this

operation (risk of splashing).

 Remove the kit and screw the cap

back on the white pipe.

Take care to avoid staining your ve-

hicle with traces of ﬂ uid. Keep the kit

to hand.

 Drive immediately for approximate-

ly three miles (ﬁ ve kilometres), at

reduced speed (between 15 and

35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug

the puncture.

 Stop to check the repair and the tyre

pressure using the kit.

Do not start the compressor before

connecting the white pipe to the tyre

valve: the sealant product would be

expelled through the pipe.

Tyre under-inﬂ ation detection
If the vehicle is ﬁ tted with tyre

under-inﬂ ation detection, the under-

inﬂ ation warning lamp will remain on

after the wheel has been repaired

until the system is reinitialised by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed

workshop.

If after around 5 to 7 minutes

the pressure is not attained, this

i ndicates that the tyre is not repair-

able; contact a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualiﬁ ed workshop for assis-

tance.
