FAMILIARISATION
OPENING

Retractable roof

When washing your vehicle:


- lock the vehicle,

- avoid spraying the upper part
of the windows,

- keep the end of the high-pres-
sure nozzle at least 1 metre
from the windows and door
seals.
After washing the vehicle or fol-
lowing rain, wait until the roof has
dried before opening it. The roof is operated under the
sole responsibility of the driver.
During operation of the roof, to
avoid the risk of injury, ensure that
no one is in the vicinity of the mov-
ing parts.
You are strongly advised not to op-
erate the roof in strong winds. It is preferable to operate the roof
with the engine running.
The roof can be operated at
speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h).
It is only possible to carry out the
operation twice with the engine off,
to avoid discharging the battery.
Preliminary conditions


)
Switch on the ignition.

)
Ensure that:


- the vehicle is not in energy economy
mode (refer to the corresponding
section),

- the battery voltage is suffi cient
(switching on of the indicator lamp
on the roof control),

- the roof fuse is in good condition (re-
fer to the corresponding section),

- the electric windows are initialised
(refer to the corresponding section),

- the ambient temperature is above
-15 °C.

Precautions to be taken before
operating the roof


)
Park the vehicle on level ground.

)
Check that no object could hinder
the operation of the roof:


- nothing should be placed on the
moving rear shelf 1
or on the net 2
.

- if luggage is being carried in the
boot, it must not raise the net,

)
Ensure that the net 2
is secure.

)
Close the boot correctly.

Maintenance
Carry out a complete opening
and closing operation of the roof
at least once a month to keep it in
good working order.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

COMFORT

The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below:


)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the digital air conditioning system.

)
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, fi rst
ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons.

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 system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).

Brake fluid level

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 30 minutes.
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.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
two services. The manufacturer recom-
mends a check of the oil level, and top up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.


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 ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate 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.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

The minimum level of this fl uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.

* According to country.
Changing the engine oil
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.
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.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
To guarantee optimum cleaning and
avoid freezing, plain water should not
be used to top up or replace this fl uid.

CHECKS
121
Avoid any 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 deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop (France)
or an authorised waste disposal
site.


Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is in-
dicated by lighting of the service warn-
ing lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunc-
tion screen.

Used products

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Battery

The battery does not require
any maintenance.

However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.


Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Illumination of the service warning lamp togeth-
er with a related message indicates the start of
saturation of the particle emissions fi lter.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component. As soon as the driving conditions
permit, regenerate the fi lter by driv-
ing at a speed of at least 35 mph
(60 km/h) until the service warning
lamp goes off.
Maintenance of the particle emis-
sion fi lter must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on
the environment.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.

CHECKS
122
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products of equiv-
alent quality and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited
.


Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
tervals for this component.


Brake disc and drum wear

For any information relating
to checking of the brake disc
and/or drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
intervals for this component.


Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Parking brake

If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
