INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps and/or messages come on, applying a checking self test. They go
off after a few seconds. Engine running: the warning lamp or the message becomes a warning if it remains on continuously
or fl ashes. This initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the screen. Do not ignore these
warnings.
The messages displayed may differ between the type 1 instrument panel and the type 2 instrument panel.
When the cause of the appearance of the warning lamp or warning message has been rectifi ed, the warning disappears
from the screen automatically. If the cause of the warning is not rectifi ed, you can return to the previous screen at any time
by pressing the INFO
button on the dashboard.
The symbol "!"
is displayed.
To return to the previous screen (with the "!"
symbol), you must press the INFO
button several times.

accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.



Waste products
CHECKS


Battery

Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer 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 (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.


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.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter 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, exception-
ally, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust on accel-
eration. This does not have any
adverse effect on the perfor-
mance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
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 corro-
sive.

Do not discard used oil or fl uids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose at PEUGEOT
dealers (France) or a qualifi ed work-
shop, or take them to an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use in
the PEUGEOT network (France) or
a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

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 work-
shop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger


)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.

)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.

)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.

)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.

)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.

)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.

)
Put the top-up caps back in place.

)
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.

)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+). It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health and very corrosive. When charging the battery, it is
normal to observe an increase
in temperature and bubbling of
the electrolyte.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-
tion before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of
the electronic systems. However, if slight
diffi culties are encountered following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:


- the one-touch electric windows,

- the sunroof,

- the satellite navigation system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, WING A TRAILER, CARAVA
ETC.
Driving advice

The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the lighting and signalling on
the trailer.

)
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.


If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbars and
their harnesses that have been
tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle and
that the fi tting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.


Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Distribution of loads


)
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
