Not suitable for

chains

For more information on snow chains, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Installation tips

► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop

the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the

road.

► Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent

movement of the vehicle.

► Fit the snow chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,

without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).

► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

It is strongly recommended that you

practise fitting the snow chains on a level

and dry surface before setting off.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads

that have been cleared of snow to avoid

damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road

surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy

wheels, check that no part of the chain or its

fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

The use of snow chains is only

authorised on the

front wheels

The driving mode selector must be on the

4WD

position (depending on version).

Very cold climate screen

(Depending on country of sale)

This removable device prevents the

accumulation of snow around the radiator

cooling fan.

It consists of two elements to be attached to the

front bumper.

In case of difficulty with installation/

removal

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Before any operation, ensure that the

engine is off and the cooling fan has

stopped.

It is essential to remove them when:

– the outside temperature exceeds

10°C.

– recovery is in progress.

– the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).

Fitting

► Hold the corresponding screen in front of the

lower grille of the bumper.

► First insert the upper and side fixing brackets

into the bumper.

► Tilt the screen downwards to engage the

lower part of the screen into the bumper.

► Check that the unit is firmly held by pressing

around the edges.

Repeat these operations for the other screen.

195

Practical information

Removing

► Insert a finger into the notch in the upper part

of the screen.

► Pull towards you to unclip the unit.

Repeat these operations for the other screen.

Energy economy mode

This system manages the duration of use of

certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient

level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.

After switching off the engine and for a maximum

cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can

continue to use functions such as the audio and

telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or

courtesy lamps.

Selecting the mode

A confirmation message is displayed when

energy economy mode is entered, and the active

functions are placed on standby.

If a telephone call is in progress at the

time, it will be maintained for around 10

minutes via the audio system’s hands-free

system.

Exiting the mode

These functions are automatically reactivated the

next time the vehicle is used.

To restore the use of these functions

immediately, start the engine and let it run:

– For less than 10 minutes, to use the

equipment for approximately 5 minutes.

– For more than 10 minutes, to use the

equipment for approximately 30 minutes.

Let the engine run for the specified duration to

ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.

To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or

continuously restarting the engine.

A flat battery prevents the engine from

starting.

For more information on the

12 V battery

refer to the corresponding section.

Load reduction mode

This system manages the use of certain

functions according to the level of charge

remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the load

reduction function temporarily deactivates certain

functions, such as the air conditioning and the

heated rear screen.

The deactivated functions are reactivated

automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Bonnet

Stop & Start / e-Auto mode

Before doing anything under the bonnet,

you must switch off the ignition to avoid any

risk of the engine restarting automatically.

Take care with objects or clothing that could

be caught in the blades of the cooling fan

or in certain moving components - risk of

strangulation and serious injury!

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

Before any work is carried out under the

bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition

and disconnect the charging connector nozzle

if it is connected, check that the

READY

indicator lamp is off on the instrument panel

and wait 4 minutes - risk of serious injury!

196

Practical information

The location of the interior bonnet

release lever prevents the bonnet being

opened when the left-hand front door is

closed.

When the engine is hot, handle the

exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay

with care (risk of burns), using the protected

area.

When the bonnet is open, take care not to

damage the safety catch.

Do not open the bonnet under very windy

conditions.

Cooling of the engine when stopped

The engine cooling fan may start after

the engine has been switched off.

Take care with objects or clothing that

could be caught in the blades of the fan!

Opening

► Open the left-hand front door.

► Pull the interior release lever, located at the

bottom of the door frame, towards you.

► Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the

bonnet.

► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it

in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.

Closing

► Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from

the

support slot.

► Clip the stay in its housing.

► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end

of its travel.

► Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked

correctly.

Because of the presence of electrical

equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly

recommended that exposure to water (rain,

washing, etc.) be limited.

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Checking levels

Check all of the following levels regularly in

accordance with the Manufacturer's service

schedule. Top them up if required, unless

otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

The fluids must comply with the

Manufacturer's requirements and with

the vehicle's engine.

Take care when working under the

bonnet, as certain areas of the engine

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the

cooling fan could start at any time (even with

the ignition off).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

fluids

with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into

sewers or onto the ground.

Empty used oil into the containers reserved

for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Engine oil

The level is checked, with the engine

having been

switched off for at least 30

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil

level indicator in the instrument panel when the

ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.

It is normal to top up the oil level between two

services (or oil changes). It is recommended

that you check the level, and top up if necessary,

every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emissions control system,

never use additives in the engine oil.

Checking using the dipstick

For the location of the dipstick, please refer

to the illustration of the corresponding engine

compartment.

► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,

lint-free cloth.

► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,

then pull it out again to visually check the oil

level: the correct level is between marks

(max)

and

B (min).

Do not start the engine if the level is:

– above mark

: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

198

Practical information

– below mark

: top up the engine oil

immediately.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the

engine oil, check that the oil is suitable

for your engine and complies with the

recommendations in the service schedule

supplied with the vehicle (or available

from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified

workshop).

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate

your warranty in the event of engine failure.

Topping up the engine oil level

For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please

refer to the corresponding engine compartment

illustration.

Never remove the oil filler cap with the

engine running. Risk of burns and

splashes inside the engine compartment.

► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills

on engine components (risk of fire).

► Wait a few minutes before checking the level

again using the dipstick.

► Top up the level if necessary.

► After checking the level, carefully screw the

oil filler cap back on and push the dipstick back

into its tube up to the stop.

The dipstick must be pushed completely

in to prevent oil from spilling onto the

engine. Risk of fire inside the engine

compartment.

The oil level indication displayed on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on is not valid for 30 minutes

following an addition of oil.

Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to

the "

MAX

" mark. If not, check the brake

pads for wear.

To know how often the brake fluid should be

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing

schedule.

Clean the cap before removing it to refill.

Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed

container.

Engine coolant

It is normal to top up this fluid between

two services.

The check and top-up must only be done with

the engine cold.

A level of coolant that is too low risks causing

major damage to the engine; the coolant level

must be close to the "

MAX

" mark without ever

going above it.

If the level is close to or below the "

MIN

" mark, it

is essential to top it up.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the

coolant is regulated by the fan.

As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at

least one hour after switching off the engine

before carrying out any work.

In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need

to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around

the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to

allow the pressure to drop.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap

and top up to the required level.

Screenwash fluid

Top up to the required level when

necessary.

Capacity of the tank:

– 5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.

– 2.2 litres for other versions.

Fluid specification

The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed

product.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid

containing an anti-freeze agent which is

appropriate for the temperature conditions

must be used in order to protect the system's

components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).

Filling with pure water is prohibited in all

circumstances (risk of freezing,

limescale, etc.).

199

Practical information

Diesel fuel additive (Diesel

with particle filter)

On reaching the minimum level in the

particle filter additive tank, this warning

lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an

audible signal and a warning message.

Topping up

The topping up of this additive must be carried

out quickly.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

AdBlue

(BlueHDi)

An alert is triggered when the reserve level is

reached.

For more information on the

Indicators

and in

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to

the corresponding section.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in

accordance with regulations, you must top up the

AdBlue tank.

For more information on

AdBlue

(BlueHDi)

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to

the corresponding section.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

Manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of

components as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers

very specific products.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any

maintenance.

Check regularly that the terminals are correctly

tightened (versions without quick-release

terminals) and that the connections are clean.

For more information on the precautions

to take before any work on the

12 V

battery

, refer to the corresponding section.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted with a 12 V

lead-acid battery of

specific technology and specification.

Its replacement should be carried out only by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Passenger compartment

filter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving),

change it twice as often, if

necessary

A clogged passenger compartment filter

can adversely affect air conditioning

system performance and generate

undesirable odours.

Air filter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving),

change it twice as often, if

necessary

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the engine

oil is changed.

Particle filter (Diesel)

The start of clogging of the

particle filter is

indicated by the temporary lighting of this

warning lamp, accompanied by an alert

message.

As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate

the filter by driving at a speed of at least

37 mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above

2,500 rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the

warning lamp goes out).

If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h),

leave the engine running at idle for about 15

minutes, then drive with an engine speed above

2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.

200

Practical information

Do not switch off the engine until the filter

is fully regenerated; repeated intervals

can degrade the engine oil prematurely.

Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is

stationary is not recommended.

Following prolonged operation of the

vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you

may, in exceptional circumstances, notice

water vapour coming from the exhaust while

accelerating. These emissions have no

impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the

environment.

New vehicle

During the first few particle filter

regeneration operations, you may notice a

"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any

maintenance (no oil change).

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require

any maintenance (no oil

change).

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine

servicing. However, in the event of a

problem, do not hesitate to have the system

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

For more information on the

Electric

parking brake

, refer to the

corresponding section.

Brake pads

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 fluid level indicates that the brake pads

are worn.

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in

wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and

defrost them.

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake disc

wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Wheels and tyres

The inflation pressure of all tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold” tyres.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure

label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven

for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles

(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add

0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the

label.

Under-inflation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as

the presence of the valve caps.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as

possible.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse effect on road

holding.

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.

201

Practical information

Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres

that will be stored when fitting winter or summer

tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away

from direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be

identified by this symbol on their

sidewalls.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when

shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

the shock absorbers have a major impact on

road holding and braking performance.

For your safety and driving comfort, it is

important to have them regularly checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Timing and accessory kits

The timing and accessory kits are used

from the time the engine is started until it

is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over

time.

A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage

the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the

recommended replacement frequency, stated in

distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is

reached first.

AdBlue

(BlueHDi)

To respect the environment and ensure

compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without

adversely affecting the performance or fuel

consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT

has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with

a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic

Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for

the treatment of exhaust gases.

SCR system

Using a liquid called AdBlue

that contains

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of

the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and

water, which are harmless to health and the

environment.

The AdBlue

is contained in

a special

tank

holding about 17 litres.

Its capacity allows a driving range of

approximately 4,000 miles (6,500 km),

which

may vary considerably

depending on your

driving style.

An alert system is triggered once the reserve

level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a

further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is

empty and the vehicle is immobilised.

For more information on the

Warning

and indicator lamps

and the associated

alerts, or the

Indicators

, please refer to the

corresponding sections.

Once the AdBlue

tank is empty, a device

required by law prevents the engine from

being restarted.

If the SCR system is faulty, the level of

emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet

the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts

polluting the environment.

In the event of a confirmed SCR system

malfunction, it is essential to visit a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is

automatically activated to prevent the engine

from starting.

In both cases, a range indicator indicates

the distance that can be travelled before the

vehicle is stopped.

Freezing of the AdBlue

AdBlue

freezes at temperatures below

around -11°C.

The SCR system includes a heater for the

AdBlue

tank, allowing you to continue driving

in very cold conditions.

Supply of AdBlue

It is recommended that the AdBlue

be topped

up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating

that the reserve level has been reached.

For the correct operation of the SCR

system:

– Use only AdBlue

fluid that meets the ISO

22241 standard.

– Never transfer AdBlue

to another container

as it would lose its purity.

– Never dilute AdBlue

with water.

202

Practical information

You can obtain AdBlue

from a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service

stations equipped with AdBlue

pumps specially

designed for passenger vehicles.

Recommendations on storage

AdBlue

freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates

above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a

cool area and protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for

at least a year.

If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has

completely thawed out at room temperature.

Never store AdBlue

containers in your

vehicle.

Precautions for use

AdBlue

is a urea-based solution. This

fluid is

non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when

kept in a cool place).

In the event of contact with the skin, wash the

affected area with soap and running water. In the

event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse

the eyes with large amounts of water or with an

eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek

medical attention if you feel a persistent burning

sensation or irritation.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth

with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high temperature, for

example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot

be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia

vapours have an irritant effect on mucous

membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Store AdBlue

out of the reach of

children, in its original container.

Procedure

Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that

the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.

In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature

of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the

AdBlue

may be frozen and so cannot be poured

into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area

for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried

out.

Never pour the AdBlue

into the Diesel

fuel tank.

If any AdBlue

is splashed, or if there are

any spillages on the bodywork, rinse

immediately with cold water or wipe with a

damp cloth.

If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a

sponge and hot water.

Important:

in the event of a top-up after

an AdBlue

breakdown, you must wait

about 5 minutes before switching on the

ignition,

without opening the driver's door,

unlocking the vehicle or bringing the

electronic key into the passenger

compartment.

Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10

seconds before starting the engine.

► Press the "

START/STOP

" button to switch off

the engine.

► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue

tank anti-

clockwise and remove it.

► With a container of AdBlue

: after checking

the expiry date, read the instructions on the

label carefully before pouring the contents of the

container into the vehicle's AdBlue

tank.

203

Practical information

► With an AdBlue

pump: insert the nozzle and

fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts

out.

In order not to overfill the AdBlue

tank:

– Add between 10 and 13 litres using

AdBlue

containers.

– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-

out, if you are refilling at a service station.

The system only registers AdBlue

intermediate top-ups of 5 litres or more.

If the AdBlue

tank is completely empty

– which is confirmed by the message

“

Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible

” – it is

essential to add at least 10 litres.

Top-up detection may not be instantaneous

after addition. It may take a few minutes of

driving before the top-up detection is effective.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, it is necessary to put the

vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on

a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),

rail or sea transport).

The procedure varies according to the type of

gearbox and parking brake.

Never leave the vehicle unattended with

the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

Advice on care and

maintenance

General recommendations

Observe the following recommendations to avoid

damaging the vehicle.

Exterior

Never use a high-pressure jet wash in

the engine compartment - risk of

damaging the electrical components!

Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or

extremely cold conditions.

When washing the vehicle in an

automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure

to lock the doors and, depending on version,

move the electronic key away and deactivate

the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free

Tailgate Access).

When using a pressure washer, keep the jet

nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from

the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas

containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).

Promptly clean up any stains containing

chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's

paintwork (including tree resin, bird

droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).

Depending on the environment, clean the

vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits

(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)

and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These

substances can be highly corrosive.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop for advice on removing stubborn

stains requiring special products (such as tar

or insect removers).

Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Interior

When washing the vehicle, never use a

water hose or high-pressure jet to clean

the interior.

Liquids carried in cups or other open

containers can spill, presenting a risk of

damage to the instruments and controls and

the controls located on the centre console. Be

vigilant!

To clean instrument panels, touch screens

or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,

dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,

disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these

surfaces - risk of damage!

205

Practical information

Bodywork

High-gloss paint

Do not use abrasive products, solvents,

petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.

Never use an abrasive sponge to clean

stubborn stains - risk of scratching the

paintwork!

Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to

plastic or rubber parts.

Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH

neutral product.

Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean

microfibre cloth.

Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.

Comply with the instructions for use stated on

the product.

Textured paint

This type of paint reacts under the effect of

light, through variations in appearance and

finish that highlight the lines and contours of the

vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that

remain visible and create a unique satin effect

with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a

surprising touch.

Never attempt to clean without water.

Never clean your vehicle in an automatic

roller-brush car wash.

Never select the programme with hot wax

finish.

Never use high-pressure lances equipped

with brushes - risk of scratching paint!

Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to

the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products

irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.

Choose high-pressure wash, or at least

high-flow water jet.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended

for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle

without rubbing.

Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the

bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.

Clean off minor marks (for example, finger

marks), using a maintenance product

recommended by PEUGEOT.

Decals

(Depending on version)

Do not use a high-pressure washer to

clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or

detaching the decals!

Use a high-flow hose (temperature

between 25°C and 40°C).

Place the jet of water perpendicular to the

surface to be cleaned.

Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.

Textile

The dashboard, door panels and seats may

contain parts made of textile material.

Maintenance

Do not use aggressive cleaning products

(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).

Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of

affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!

Remove dust from the textile parts

regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or

vacuum cleaner.

Rub down the textile parts once per year with

a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to

dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.

Stain removal

Do not rub the stain or it may spread or

you may cause the substance to

penetrate the surface.

Act quickly by reducing the stain from its

edges inwards.

Remove as much substance or solids as

possible using a spoon or spatula, and

remove as much liquid as possible using

absorbent paper.

206

Practical information

Product/Procedure to use depending

on the type of stain:

– Grease, oil and ink: clean with a pH-neutral

detergent.

– Vomit: clean with sparkling mineral water.

– Blood: spread flour over the stain and allow

to dry; remove with a slightly damp cloth.

– Mud: allow to dry and then remove with a

slightly damp cloth.

– Cake, chocolate, ice cream: clean with

lukewarm water.

– Sugary and/or alcoholic drinks: clean with

lukewarm water, or lemon juice if the stain is

persistent.

– Hair gel, coffee, tomato sauce, vinegar:

clean with lukewarm water and lemon juice.

For solid substances, then use a soft brush or

vacuum cleaner.

For liquid substances, then use a damp

microfibre cloth and then dry with another

cloth.

Leather

Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular

care is essential for its durability.

It must be protected and nourished using a

specific leather product, to keep it supple and

preserve its original appearance.

Do not use maintenance products which

are not suitable for cleaning leather

(e.g. solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).

Do not use bleaching or colour-removal

products (e.g. perchloroethylene).

When cleaning items partly made from

leather, take care not to damage the other

materials with the specific leather product.

Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,

quickly mop up any surplus.

Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable

to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has

been dampened with demineralised water

and thoroughly wrung out.

Clean the leather, without rubbing too

vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with

soapy water or a pH-neutral product.

Dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Disconnecting/Reconnecting the 12 V

battery

In order to maintain an adequate state of

charge for starting the engine, we recommend

disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be

unused for an extended period.

Before disconnecting the 12 V battery:

► Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,

roof).

► Switch off all electricity-consuming devices

(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).

► Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.

After accessing the 12 V battery, it is only

necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.

Quick-release terminal clamp

Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover

on the

(+)

terminal.

► Raise lever

fully to release clamp

► Remove clamp

by lifting it off.

Reconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise lever

fully.

► Refit open clamp

on the

(+)

terminal.

► Push clamp

fully down.

► Lower lever

to lock clamp

► Depending on equipment, lower the plastic

cover on the

(+)

terminal.

Do not force the lever when pressing on

it, as if the clamp is not positioned

correctly, locking will then not be possible.

Start the procedure again.

The Stop & Start system may not be

operational during the trip following the

first engine start.

In this case, the system will only be available

again after a continuous period with the

vehicle immobilised, the duration of which

depends on the exterior temperature and the

state of charge of the battery (up to about 8

hours).

Procedure for starting the engine using another

battery or for charging a discharged battery

(12 V or 48 V).

► Access to the 12 V battery.

For more information on

Accessing the battery

refer to the corresponding section.

► If necessary, perform the 12 V battery

disconnection/reconnection procedure.

In the event of a breakdown

► After reconnecting the 12 V battery, perform

the automatic reset procedures of the electronic

systems and manual reset of some equipment.

For more information on

Following

reconnection

, refer to the corresponding

section.

Starting using another battery

The hybrid system starts the vehicle, but

a 12 V supply is required. There are

several reasons why the vehicle cannot be

started.

If the 12 V battery is flat, the 12 V power supply

can be ensured using a backup battery (either

external or from another vehicle) and jump leads

or using a battery booster or using a battery

charger.

Never use a 24 V or higher battery

booster.

Check beforehand that the backup battery

has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity

at least equal to that of the discharged

battery.

The two vehicles must not be in contact with

each other.

Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment

on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,

lighting, etc.).

Make sure that the jump leads are well away

from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,

etc.).

Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the

engine is running.

► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the

vehicle has one.

► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of

flat battery

(at the metal elbow), then to the

(+) terminal of the backup battery

or of the

booster.

► Connect one end of the green or black cable

to the (-) terminal of the backup battery

or of

the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting

vehicle).

► Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point

► Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and

leave it running for a few minutes.

► Operate the starter on the broken down

vehicle and let the engine run.

If the engine does not start immediately, switch

off the ignition and wait a few moments before

trying again.

► Wait for it to return to idle.

► Disconnect the jump leads

in reverse order

► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if

the vehicle has one.

► Allow the engine to run for at least

30 minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that

the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.

Driving immediately without having

reached a sufficient level of charge may

affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.

e-Auto mode).

Charging the 12 V battery using a

battery charger

For optimum service life of the battery, it is

essential to maintain an adequate state of

charge.

In some circumstances, it may be necessary to

charge the battery (e.g. if the vehicle is to be

taken off the road for several weeks)

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

The hybrid system is connected to the

12 V network through the DC/DC

converter. Any operation may affect the

overall behaviour of the system.

To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use

only a charger compatible with lead-acid

batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
