tion M (driving in manual mode) at
any time.

Invalid value during manual
operation

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 tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-

revving, the gear selected l ashes for

a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear M1 .
Programme S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

Operating abnormality

Any operating abnormality
is indicated by the display-
ing of this warning light, an
audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multi-function
display.

In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial 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),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

If the battery is l at and the

lever is in position P , it will be
impossible to change to an-
other position.

Above all, do not force the lever as
there is a risk of damage to the auto-
matic gearbox.

This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).

DRIVING

This speed limiter, of the new genera-
tion, has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the programmed
speed.
It prevents exceeding of the vehicle
speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed is
reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a pro-
grammed speed of at least 18 mph
(30 km/h); it remains active regard-
less of any action on the brake and
clutch pedals.

The operating actions must be
carried out:
-

when stationary, with the en-
gine running,

or
-

with the vehicle moving.

When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the speed limiter function.

Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-
vating the limiter.
Press buttons 2 and 3

briel y to de-

crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or in-
creases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-
creases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Selecting the function
 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT posi-

tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default, the display indicates:

Activating/deactivating the limiter
Pressing button 4 once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again de-
activates it.

Note:

the speed also l ashes when

the limiter cannot prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (on a steep descent, in the
event of sharp acceleration).
To reactivate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off
 Place dial 1 in position 0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the sys-
tem off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.

Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared,

the dashes l ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

In the event of a steep de-
scent or sharp acceleration,
the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the programmed
speed.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly.

- never i t one mat on top of another.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
In exceptional circumstances, use
this mode to exceed the programmed
speed.
Pressing the accelerator in order to
exceed the programmed speed will
have no effect unless you press the
pedal

i rmly beyond the point of re-

sistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the speed displayed on the instru-

ment panel l ashes (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):

This cruise control, of the new gen-
eration, is linked with the speed lim-
iter. It has a display on the instrument
panel to indicate the memorised ref-
erence speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-
tivated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with
at least fourth gear engaged for vehi-

cles i tted with a manual gearbox.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-
tect obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works 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.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle

carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with

towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the sen-
sors may be dirty.

The proximity information is given by:
-

an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle,

-

a graphic on the multifunction dis-
play, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.

Depending on the multifunction dis-
play, the audible signal is transmitted
by a buzzer or by the rear speakers
which transmit:
-

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 on the 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 thirty centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "Danger" symbol
appears depending on the multifunc-
tion display.

 Change to neutral, the system is

again inactive.

If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged,
the service warning light comes
on, accompanied by an audible

signal (short bleep) and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Activation/Deactivation

Activation

The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehi-
cle, depending on the multifunction
display.

The system can be activated
or deactivated from the mul-

tifunction display coni gura-

tion menu.
The activation and deacti-

vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.
B = minimum

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Dipstick

Cooling system

Use the l uid recommended by the

manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with

a particle emission i lter, the fan

can operate after the vehicle has

stopped, even when the engine is

cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Windscreen and headlamp

wash level

Diesel additive level (Diesel

with particle emission filter)

If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

Brake fluid level

* According to engine.

Oil level

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.

The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.

Power steering reservoir

Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.

For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.

Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer's

servicing

schedule.

Use l uids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.

CHECKS

116

CHECKS

Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,

even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that the particle emission

i lter is maintained in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Note: following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cases,
notice discharges of water vapour
at the exhaust on acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment.

Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.

Disc and drum wear

status

For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.

To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers

quite specii c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .

Oil filter

Used products

Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter

Do not dispose of used oil,

brake l uid or coolant into

drains or onto the ground.

Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.

Battery

At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake pads

It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.

Handbrake

Change the i lter regularly, in

accordance with the servicing
schedule.

Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule.

To check the main levels

and certain components, in

accordance with the manu-

facturer's servicing sched-

ule, refer to the pages of

the servicing booklet which corre-

spond to your vehicle's engine.

Have the i lter elements

replaced regularly. If you

drive in dusty conditions,

change them twice as of-

ten.
