LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM
System which detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffi c lane
markings on the ground (continuous or
discontinuous line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front bumper,
trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts
(speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system operates to its full potential
above all when used on motorways and
main roads. The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver. Deactivation

 Press button A again, the indicator
light switches off.
Activation

 Press button A , the indicator light
comes on.
Operating fault
If the indicator light on the button switches
off while the system is active, this indi-
cates a malfunction.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The detection may be disrupted:
- if the sensors are dirty (mud, snow, ...),
- if the markings on the ground are worn,
- if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and
the road surface.
Detection
You are warned by the vibration of the
driver’s seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed on
the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the ground has been crossed on
the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for ap-
proximately 20 seconds after the di-
rection indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (arrow) or non-standard
marking (graffi ti) is crossed.
The status of the system remains
in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.

DRIVING
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT AND/OR REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located behind the vehi-
cle, however, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below
the bumper. The parking assistance is
switched on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and/or displaying of the vehicle on
the multifunction display.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no long-
er be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated
by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately twenty-fi ve centimetres, the audi-
ble signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending on
the multifunction display version.
The parking assistance system
cannot, in any circumstances, re-
place the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.
The parking assistance is
switched
off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.

Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT ).
Reactivation

 Press button A again, the warning
light switches off, the system is
reactivated.

 Press button A , the warning light
comes on, the system is fully
deactivated. In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning light is displayed on
the instrument panel and/or a
message appears on the multi-
function display, accompanied by an au-
dible signal (short beep), when reverse
gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
BONNET
Protects the components of the engine
and provides access for checking
levels.

 Push the exterior control B to the left
and raise the bonnet.

 Unclip the strut C from its housing.

 Fix the strut in the notch to hold the
bonnet open. Closing

 Take the strut out of the support
notch.

 Clip the strut in its housing.

 Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel.

 Pull on the bonnet to check that it is
secured correctly.
Opening

 Open the front left door.

 Pull the interior control A , located at
the bottom of the door frame. The location of the interior control
prevents opening of the bonnet
while the front left door is closed.

CHECKS
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If your vehicle is fi tted with an HDI en-
gine, the fuel circuit must be reprimed if
you run out of fuel.
This system consists of a repriming
pump, a transparent pipe and a degas
screw under the bonnet (refer to the
corresponding graphic).
1.6 litre Turbo HDI 16V engine

 Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel.

 Open the bonnet.

 Unclip the style cover to gain access
to the repriming pump.

 Squeeze and release the repriming
pump until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green
connector.

 Operate the starter until the engine
starts.

 Put the style cover back in position
and clip it in place.

 Close the bonnet. 2 litre Turbo HDI 16V engine

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1 000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level. Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold. Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
