CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.
1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.
2.
Speed programming/value decrease button.
3.
Speed programming/value increase button.
4.
Cruise control off/resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times. The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving
mode,
- of position D
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.

DRIVING
Deactivation/Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
For more information on access to the parking sensors menu,
refer to the section covering the confi guration of vehicle systems.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h),
certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar or
bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).

CHECKS
FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.
LOW FUEL LEVEL
FILLING
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it fi rst comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel is 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 display of the alert
message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards "0"
.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fuel
(Diesel)" section.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to
be used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in order to be taken into
account by the fuel gauge. To fi ll the tank in complete safety:
)
the engine must be switched off,
)
press the rear part of the fl ap, then raise it to open it,
)
turn the cap to the left,
)
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of
the fl ap,
)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of
the pump
; this could cause malfunctions. Opening the fi ller cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush
of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of
the fuel system.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition
with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel will only be valid
30 minutes after topping up.
It is normal to top up the oil level between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil level and top up if necessary
every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record 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.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the interval
for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
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.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature 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.
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
pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP WASH FLUID
In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.
ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message that the particle emissions fi lter additive level is too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
USED PRODUCTS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
