the gauge is positioned on:

-

F (Full): the fuel tank is full.

-

E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the low fuel warning lamp comes
on continuously.

the reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately:

-

10 litres for 60 and 90 litre tanks,

-

12 litres for 120 litre tanks.

Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
120 litres) are available as an option.

cooLAnt tEMPErAturE

the needle is positioned between
c (cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.

If the needle enters the red zone or if the
warning lamp comes on:

-

stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
the fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

-

wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:

the cooling system is pressurised. In order
to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop.

When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top-up.

If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop.

EMISSIonS controLS

eOBD (european On Board Diagnosis)
is a diagnostics system which complies
with, among others, the standards on the
authorised emissions of:

-

CO (carbon monoxide),

-

HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

-

NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.

tYrE undEr-InFLAtIon dEtEctIon

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.

the tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.

this system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly

(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.

the system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.

A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.

the system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.

the tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped

for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

the tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.

the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission
control system by the illumination
of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.

there is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PeugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.

to locate it, refer to the "technical
data - Identification markings" section.

Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends

braking distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).

under-inflation alert

The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.

In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.

-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.

-

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

-

In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).

-

In the event of under-inflation:

● if you have a compressor, the one

in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,

or
● if it is not possible to check the

tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go to
the nearest PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.

the loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of

the tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

the alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired

or replaced.

operating fault

the flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and

depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.

In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.

this alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.

go to a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

HILL StArt ASSISt

this system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:

-

the vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,

-

the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,

-

uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,

-

downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.

the Hill Start Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.

operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.

During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

operating fault

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message

in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:

-

when the clutch pedal is released,

-

when the parking brake is applied,

-

when the engine is switched off,

-

when the engine stalls.

the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - StOP mode -
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, or other...). the engine restarts
automatically - StARt mode - as soon as
you want to move off. the restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of
complete silence when stationary.

operation

Going into engine StoP mode

With the vehicle stationary, put the gear
lever into neutral, then release the clutch
pedal.

-

this indicator lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby.

Automatic stopping of the engine is
only possible after the vehicle has

exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h),
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine
when driving slowly.

Never leave your vehicle with out first
turning off the ignition with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in
StOP mode; you must switch off the

ignition with the key.

Special cases: StoP mode unavailable

the StOP mode is not invoked when:

-

the system is initialising,

-

the driver's door is open,

-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

-

the air conditioning is running,

-

the heated rear screen is on,

-

the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

-

reverse gear is engaged, for a parking
manoeuvre,

-

some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.

this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.

Going into engine StArt mode

-

this indicator lamp goes off
and the engine restarts.

If following an automatic restart in StARt
mode, the driver takes no action on the
the vehicle during the next 3 minutes, the
system stops the engine definitively. the
engine can then only be restarted using
the key.

Special cases: StArt invoked
automatically

the StARt mode is invoked automatically
when:

-

the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

-

the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

-

the air conditioning is running,

-

the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

-

some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.

In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

Good practice

With a manual gearbox in StOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.

An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.

this operation is perfectly normal.

With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.

With the engine stopped in StOP
mode, if the driver unfasten's
their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be

restarted using the ignition key. there is

In the event of an operating fault with StOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral.

Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the

key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of StARt mode.

this system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop).

Fitting a battery not listed by
PeugeOt introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.

the Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist

knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
PeugeOt dealers.

Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.

Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.

On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.

In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.

driving on flooded roads

We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive through water:

-

check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,

-

deactivate the Stop & Start system,

-

drive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),

-

do not stop and do not switch off the
engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.

If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Important!

Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!

Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!

Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.
