TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction (speed
greater than 15 mph (25 km/h)).
Flat tyre
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompa-
nied by the mes-
sage on the multifunction display
locating the wheel concerned.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the multi-
function display locating the wheel
concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multi-function display locating the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the 'STOP' warning light. Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very delated) wheel, and have the
tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Note:
if the damaged wheel is tem-
porarily stored in the boot, it will
again emit this message, if the ve-
hicle speed is greater than 12 mph
(20 km/h) and for approximately ten
seconds, to remind you of the neces-
sity of having it repaired. This will
prevent another warning of the same
type being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompa-
nied by the mes-
sage on the multifunction display which
indicates that under-inlation detection is
absent from one (or several) wheel(s).
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accompa-
nied by the audible signal and the
message on the multi-function dis-
play which indicates that under-inla-
tion detection is absent from one (or
several) wheel(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s). Note:
this message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is itted.
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel itted 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
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system 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 eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur-
er's label on the door pillar) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
Remember to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

Notes:
After reconnecting the battery, you
must reinitialise the safety auto-
reverse:
- place the control in the maximum
partial opening position (3rd notch
to the right),
- wait until the roof is in the maxi- mum partially open position,
- press the control for at least one second.
In the event of unwanted opening of
the roof on closing (for example, in
the presence of ice), and immedi-
ately after the roof stops:
- move the control to the "O" posi-
tion and press the control immedi-
ately,
- continue to press the control until the roof is fully closed.
In the partially open position, the roof
closes automatically above 60 mph
(100 km/h).
To partially open it again:
- move the control back to the "O" position,
- turn the control to the right.
The safety auto-reverse function is
not active during these operations.
SUNROOF
- To partially open the roof: Turn the
switch to the right (three possible
settings).
- To open the roof completely: Turn
the switch to the left (six possible
settings).
- To close it completely: Turn the
switch back to position "O".
- Safety auto-reverse: When the
sunroof is closing and meets an
obstacle, it stops then partially
opens again.
The sunroof shutter is manual. Always remove the key from
the ignition when leaving
the vehicle, even for a short
time.
In the event of contact during opera-
tion of the roof, you must reverse the
movement of the roof. To do this,
press the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the roof
switch, he must ensure that no one
is preventing correct closing of the
roof.
The driver must ensure that the pas-
sengers use the sunroof correctly.

REMOVING THE MAT
When removing the mat on the driver's
side, push the seat as far back as pos-
sible and unscrew the ixings.
When reitting, position the mat and
replace the ixings by pressing them
irmly. If the mat is not secured cor-
rectly, there is a risk that it may get
caught under the pedal assembly.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When itting transverse roof bars,
use the four quick-it ixings provided
for this purpose. Lift the concealing
laps and adjust the roof bar quick-it
ixings.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
LAYOUT
Lashing rings
Use the 4 lashing rings on the lug-
gage compartment loor to secure
your luggage.
Luggage retaining net
Hooked onto the lashing rings, this
enables you to secure your luggage. Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the proile
of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the ixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legisation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects which
are longer than the vehicle.

Interior comfort
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem-
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing capacity to be
increased.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos-
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle (label on the cen-
tral door pillar on the driver's side)
and of the trailer towed, observing
the recommended pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The towbar must be itted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.

When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.

erations which keep your vehicle in
good working order. Consult the in-
structions in the PEUGEOT Network,
on the Infotec site or in the servicing
booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Oil level
F
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Bonnet strut
Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace
the strut in its clip.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel. Check that the
bonnet is properly locked.
"Bonnet open" warning
With the engine running or the ve-
hicle moving, lighting of the service
warning light accompanied by an
audible signal and a diagram on the
multi-function display warns you that
the bonnet is not properly closed.
OPENING THE BONNET
From inside: pull the handle on the
left-hand side under the fascia to-
wards you.
From outside: move the catch to the

Never ill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
