ACCESS

The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is put back on
the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is
completely normal, is caused by
the sealing of the fuel system.

Refuelling

A label affi xed to the inside of the fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel

reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen. When the lamp
fi rst comes on, there is approximately
6 litres
of fuel remaining.

warning lamp appears every time the
ignition is switched on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message. When
driving, this audible signal and message
are repeated with increasing frequency,
as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
You must refuel to avoid running out of
fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.

qualifi ed workshop. In order to avoid causing a nuisance to
other road users, this system corrects
the height of the xenon headlamp beams
automatically and when stationary, in
relation to the load in the vehicle.

If a malfunction occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.

light beams to provide improved lighting
of the side of the road when cornering.
The use of this function, from approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h) and associ-
ated with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.

SAFETY








TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically and continuously
checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving con-
ditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

This warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the screen
identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, to locate the wheel or
wheels which are not detected or to in-
dicate a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not fi tted with
a sensor.
