Exceeding the programmed speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-

tor to exceed the programmed speed

will have no effect unless the pedal is

pressed ﬁ rmly (passing the point of

resistance

The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and displays the programmed speed

(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

To prevent the mat from becom-

ing caught under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is posi-

tioned correctly,

Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,

the memorised speed is erased, the

dashes ﬂ ash for a few seconds:

Note:

the speed also ﬂ ashes

when the speed limiter can-

not prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed

speed (on a steep descent or in the

event of sharp acceleration).

To re-activate the limiter, release the

accelerator to slow down to a speed

below the programmed speed.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

- never ﬁ t one mat on top of another.

101

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
SENSORS

This system consists of proximity sen-

sors:

- six in the front bumper,

and/or

- four in the rear bumper.

It detects obstacles (person, vehicle,

tree, gate, etc.) in front of or behind

the vehicle. However, it cannot detect

obstacles located directly under the

bumper.

An object, such as a stake, cone or any

other similar object may be detected

at the beginning of the manoeuvre but

may no longer be detected when the

vehicle comes close to it.

The proximity of the obstacle is indi-

cated by:

- an audible signal which becomes

more rapid as the vehicle ap-

proaches the obstacle,

- a graphic in the multifunction

screen, with blocks which become

increasingly close to the vehicle.

The obstacle is located in relation to

the emission of the audible signal by

the speakers; that is, front or rear and

right or left.

When the distance between the ve-

hicle and the obstacle is less than

approximately thirty centimetres, the

audible signal becomes continuous

and/or the "Danger" symbol appears

in the multifunction screen.

The system becomes inactive again:

- when you exit reverse gear,

- when the speed is above 6 mph

(10 km/h),

- at the end of the manoeuvre, when

stationary, after a few seconds

(front parking sensors only).

Detection zone

To ensure optimum operation,

in bad weather or in winter,

ensure that the sensors are

not covered with mud, frost or

snow.

The system is deactivated if

the vehicle is stationary for

more than 3 seconds.

Detection

The system is activated when:

- reverse gear is engaged,

- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)

in forward gear.

It is accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and/or display of the vehicle in the

multifunction screen.

102

Deactivation

Press button A to deactivate the sys-

tem (child asleep in the rear…). The

indicator lamp in the button comes on.

Note:

this function will be de-

activated automatically when

a trailer is being towed (vehi-

cle ﬁ tted with a towbar recom-

mended by PEUGEOT).

Reactivation

Press button A again to reactivate the

system. The indicator lamp in the but-

ton goes off.

If there is an operating fault,

when reverse gear is engaged,

the indicator lamp ﬂ ashes, ac-

companied by an audible sig-

nal and a message in the multifunction

screen.

103

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

Sensors check the tyre pressures

while driving and trigger a warning in

the event of problem.

Pressure Check

With the ignition on and the

vehicle having been sta-

tionary for approximately

15 minutes, and after the

engine oil level, this indicator

lamp comes on in the instrument pan-

el screen to indicate that the system is

measuring the tyre pressures.

Pressure OK

This indicator lamp comes

on in the instrument panel

screen if all of the tyre pres-

sure values measured are

correct.

If this indicator lamp does not appear,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

Puncture

This warning lamp, accom-

panied by the audible sig-

nal and the message in the

multifunction screen identify-

ing the wheel concerned, is

followed by illumination of the STOP

warning lamp.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,

avoiding any sudden movement of the

steering wheel and the brakes.

Change the damaged wheel (punc-

tured or very deﬂ ated tyre), and have

the tyre pressure checked as soon as

possible.

Note:

this message is also

displayed when one of the

wheels is away from the ve-

hicle (being repaired) or when

one or more wheels without a sensor

are ﬁ tted.

All repairs and changing of

tyres on a wheel ﬁ tted with this

system must be carried out by

a PEUGEOT dealer.

If, when changing a tyre, you install a

wheel which is not detected by your

vehicle, you must have the system re-

initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.

The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection sys-

tem 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 avoid the need

to have the tyre pressures checked

regularly (see manufacturer’s label) to

ensure that the optimum dynamic per-

formance 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-inﬂ ation detection sys-

tem may experience temporary interfer-

ence due to electromagnetic emissions

on a frequency close to that used by the

system.

Under-inﬂ ated tyre

This warning lamp is accom-

panied by the audible signal

and the message in the mul-

tifunction screen identifying

the wheel concerned.

If this warning lamp comes on, have

the tyre pressure checked as soon as

possible.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is accom-

panied by the audible sig-

nal and the message in the

multifunction screen which

indicates that under-inﬂ ation

detection is absent from one (or sev-

eral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in

the system.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace

the faulty sensor(s).

Bonnet stay

Secure the stay in its housing to hold

the bonnet open.

Before closing the bonnet, replace the

stay in its clip.

OPENING THE BONNET

From inside:

pull the release lever on

the left-hand side under the dashboard

towards you.
From outside:

lift the safety catch and

raise the bonnet.

To avoid any risk of burns, only

handle the safety catch and

bonnet stay by the protective

foam.

To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the

end of its travel. Check that the bonnet

is fully latched.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

These are normal maintenance opera-

tions which keep your vehicle in good

working order. Ask for advice from

a PEUGEOT dealer, or refer to the

Service Box website or the servicing

booklet supplied with the vehicle.
Important:

if you have to remove/reﬁ t

the engine style cover, handle it with

care to avoid damaging the ﬁ xing clips.

Dipstick

There are two marks on

the dipstick:
A

= maximum

Never ﬁ ll past this mark.
B = minimum

Oil level



Check the level regularly and top

up between oil changes.

Check the level with the vehicle level,

the engine having been off for more

than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.

Take care when when doing

anything under the bonnet, as

some parts of the engine can be

extremely hot (risk of burns).

Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out

at the intervals speciﬁ ed and the vis-

cosity of the oil chosen must meet the

requirements laid down in the manu-

facturer's servicing schedule. Ask for

advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or re-

fer to the Service Box website.
Note:

avoid used oil coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin. Empty the

used oil into the containers provided for

this purpose in the PEUGEOT dealer

network (France) or take it to an autho-

rised waste disposal site.

Oil filter

Replace the oil ﬁ lter regularly in accor-

dance with the recommendations of

the servicing schedule.

Brake fluid change

Use the ﬂ uid recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulﬁ ls DOT4

Standards.

It is imperative that the brake ﬂ uid is

changed at the intervals speciﬁ ed in

accordance with the manufacturer's

servicing schedule.
Note:

avoid all contact with the skin,

the brake ﬂ uid is harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Use only the ﬂ uid recommend-

ed by the manufacturer.

Note:

the coolant does not need to be

changed.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-

ture of the coolant is controlled by the

engine fan. As this fan can operate with

the ignition key removed and because

the cooling system is pressurised, wait

for at least one hour after the engine has

stopped before carrying out any work.

Slacken the cap to the ﬁ rst

notch to release the pressure

to prevent any risk of scald-

ing. When the pressure has

dropped, remove the cap and top up

the level with coolant.

  The  engine  fan  can  oper-
ate  after  the  vehicle  has
stopped.
