Starting and stopping
HILL START ASSISTANCE
This function, linked with the ESP, 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 HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start
Assistance function is a driving comfort
feature. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic handbrake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
before the vehicle starts to roll back and
without using the handbrake within which to
move off.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the typical noise of mechanical
disengaging of the brakes can be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Anomaly
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning light comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confi rmed by a
message on the display. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
The hill start assistance is deactivated in the
following situations:
- when the clutch pedal is released,
- when the handbrake is applied,
- when the engine is switched off,
- when the engine stalls.

Cancelling the programming
Press this button briefly to clear
the programmed start time.
The display lighting and the
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are
switched off.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle’s fuel tank.
Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator light is
not at reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating system is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant.
Top up the coolant, then press the
programme selection control before
switching the heating on again. Have the additional heating system
checked at least once a year at the
beginning of winter. Maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Use recommended replacement parts only.
Recalling one of the pre-selected start times
Press this button as many times
as necessary until the number
corresponding to the required
pre-selected start time (e.g. 2)
appears.
After ten seconds, the time is cleared but
remains stored for as long as the number
(e.g. 2) and the display remain lit.
Switching off the heating
Press this button.
The heating cycle indicator light
and the display are switched off.
Two different types of equipment
The additional heating is autonomous and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of the
engine to make starting easier.
This also facilitates passenger compartment
heating, de-icing and demisting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine.
Switching on of the heating may be
programmable.

Air bags
Disarming the passenger air bag
Refer to the "MODE" section of
chapter 4, then on the "Passenger air
bag" menu, select OFF . When
OFF is selected, the passenger air
bag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select

Side air bags and curtain air bags
If your vehicle is fitted with side air bags,
these are incorporated into the front seat
backs on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated into
the door pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment, in the roof over the
front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel comes
on throughout the period of
disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to disarm the passenger air bag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing child
seat.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer

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.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
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.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking assistance: the assistance
does not function while the vehicle is towing.

These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at PEUGEOT
dealerships or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack. To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the
MIN and

MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at PEUGEOT dealerships.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
Oil level
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 dipstick.
