INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS


Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations








Diesel engine
pre-heating


fi xed. The ignition switch is at the
2nd position (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp has switched off before starting.

The duration for which the warning lamp is on is determined
by the climatic conditions.



Electric
parking brake


fi xed. The electric parking brake is
applied. Release the electric parking brake to switch off
the warning lamp: with your foot on the brake
pedal, pull the electric brake control.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For more information on the electric parking
brake, refer to the "Driving" section.




Deactivation of
the automatic
functions of
the electric
parking brake

fi xed. The "automatic application"
(on switching off the engine)
and "automatic release"
functions are deactivated or
faulty. Activate the function (according to country) via
the vehicle confi guration menu or contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

pressing the brake pedal, this warning lamp will
remain on.

fl ashing. In the case of an electronic
gear control gearbox, if you
hold the vehicle on an incline
using the accelerator for too
long, the clutch overheats. Use the brake pedal and/or the electric parking
brake.



Stop & Start


fi xed. When the vehicle stops (red
lights, traffi c jams, ...) the
Stop & Start system has put
the engine into STOP mode. The warning lamp goes off and the engine
restarts automatically in START mode, as soon
as you want to move off.

fl ashes for a
few seconds,
then goes

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS









Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in
the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations








STOP




fi xed, alone or associated
with another warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system, power
steering, engine lubrication or
cooling system malfunction or
a punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is
a risk that the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.




Service


on temporarily. A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:


- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,

- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash level,

- the remote control battery,

- the tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission
fi lter (Diesel).

- ...
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed. A major fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp.
Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



(PEF:
particle
emissions
fi lter, Diesel)



fi xed, associated temporarily
with a message on the risk
of blockage of the PEF.
This indicates the start of
saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter.
As soon as traffi c conditions allow, regenerate the
fi lter by driving at a speed of at least 35 mph
(60 km/h) until the service warning lamp goes off.

fi xed. This indicates the low level in
the Diesel additive reservoir. Have the level topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.

Cause



Action/Observations








Battery
charge


fi xed. The battery charging circuit
has a fault (dirty or loose
terminals, slack or cut
alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when
the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.






Door(s)

pretensioner systems has a
fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.






Water in
Diesel


fi xed. The Diesel fuel fi lter contains
water. Risk of damage to the injection system
on Diesel engines.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop without delay.

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.



























FUEL TANK


Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

To fi ll the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

)
insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,


When refuelling is complete:


)
put the cap back in place,

)
turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the cap,

)
close the fi ller fl ap.

)
remove the cap and secure it on the
hook, located on the inside of the fl ap,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue af-
ter the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle
;
this could cause malfunctions.

Low fuel level

Operating fault

A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indi-
cated by the return to zero of the fuel
gauge needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.


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
gauge. When the low fuel level is
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 approxi-
mately
6 litres
of fuel remaining.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this
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 run-
ning out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer
also to the "Checks" section.






With Stop & Start, never re-
fuel with the system in STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key.

ACCESS










Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).














Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).


















MISFUEL PREVENTION *

Mechanical device which prevents fi lling
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It
avoids the risk of engine damage that can
result from fi lling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.


Operation
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced into
the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel vehicle, it
comes into contact with the fl ap. The system
remains closed and prevents fi lling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
fi ller nozzle.


It is still possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow
of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the
fuel can in direct contact with the fl ap
of the misfuel prevention device.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be dif-
ferent in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may
make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend
that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer
network, whether your vehicle is suitable
for the fuel pumps in the country in which
you want to travel.


* According to destination country.
