Cancelling the programming
  Press this button briefly to clear 
the programmed start time. 
   
The scren illumination and the 
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are 
switched off.  
 
 
Good practice 
 
To avoid any risk of poisoning or 
asphyxiation, the additional heating must 
not be used, even for short periods, in 
an enclosed space such as a garage or 
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust 
gas extraction system. 
  The additional heating is supplied by the 
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the fuel 
gauge indicator lamp is not at reserve. 
  Always switch off the additional heating 
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire 
or explosion. 
  Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable 
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), 
there is a risk of fire. 
  The temperature near the heater must not 
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than 
this (for example in the case of painting in 
an oven) could damage the components of 
the electronic circuits. 
  The additional heating system is fitted with 
a temperature limiter which cuts off the 
combustion in the event of overheating due 
to a lack of coolant. Top up the coolant, 
then press the programme selection control 
before switching the heating on again.   Have the additional heating system 
checked at least once a year at the 
beginning of winter. Maintenance and 
repairs should only be carried out by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Use only genuine replacement parts.  
Recalling one of the pre-selected
start times
  Press this button as many times 
as necessary until the number 
corresponding to the required pre-
selected start time (e.g. 2) appears. 
  After ten seconds, the time is cleared but 
remains stored for as long as the number 
(e.g. 2) and the screen remain lit.  
Switching off the heating
 
Press this button. 
  The heating cycle indicator and 
the screen are switched off.  
Two different types of equipment
 
The additional heating is separate and 
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle, 
it gradually increases the temperature of 
the engine to make starting easier. This also 
facilitates passenger compartment heating, 
demisting and defrosting. 
  The additional passenger compartment 
heating system supplements the 
standard equipment. Its operation may be 
independent of the engine. Switching on of 
the heating may be programmable.

Trip computer  
 
  The  TRIP 
 button, located at the end 
of the wiper stalk, provides access to 
the following information: 
   
 
-   Ambient 
 
 temperature  
 
  This indicates the temperature outside 
the vehicle. 
   
-   Range  
 
  This indicates the distance that can still 
be travelled with the fuel remaining in 
the tank on the basis of the average 
consumption over the last few miles 
(kilometres) travelled.    
-   Average speed A  
 
  This is the average speed calculated 
since the last trip computer zero reset 
(with the ignition on). 
   
-   Trip duration A  
 
  This indicates the total time since 
the last trip recorder zero reset.      
-   Distance A  
 
  This indicates the distance travelled 
since the last trip computer zero reset. 
   
-   Average  
 
fuel  
 
consumption A  
 
  This is the average quantity of fuel 
consumed since the last trip computer 
zero reset. 
   
-   Current  
 
fuel  
 
consumption A  
 
  This is the average quantity of fuel 
consumed during the last few seconds. 
  TRIP COMPUTER
 
If TRIP B is activated on the  MODE 
 menu:

Deactivation 
  Make a long press on both controls 
simultaneously to deactivate the system. 
The LEDs remain on.      
Return to the nominal floor height 
  Press the same number of times in reverse 
as the level of the position displayed.  
   
Reactivation 
  A second long press on both controls 
simultaneously reactivates the system. 
The LEDs go off. 
   
Automatic correction of loading 
floor height
  Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the system 
automatically returns the rear height to its 
nominal value.  
Warning lamp 
 
Refer to the "Instruments and controls" 
section of chapter 2.  
Good practice
 
Driving with the suspension set too high or 
too low risks damaging components under 
the body. 
  The height may be adjusted automatically to 
take account of changes of temperature or 
loading. 
  You must avoid using this control in the 
following circumstances: 
   
 
-   when working underneath the vehicle, 
   
-   when changing a wheel, 
   
-   when the vehicle is being transported by 
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...  
    Above 3 mph (5 km/h), the system 
reactivates automatically.

Towing a trailer  
 
ACCESSORIE
S
 
 
Cooling: 
 towing a trailer on a slope 
increases the coolant temperature. 
  As the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on 
the engine speed. 
  On the contrary, use a high gear to lower 
the engine speed and reduce your speed. 
  In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.     
Tyres: 
 check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identification 
markings" section of chapter 9) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressures. 
  We recommend the use of original 
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to 
a PEUGEOT dealer. 
  If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using 
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the 
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with 
the manufacturer's instructions.  
Good practice
 
In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered. 
  If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible. 
  See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.    
Brakes: 
 towing increases the braking 
distance. Drive at a moderate speed, 
change down early and brake gradually. 
   
Side wind: 
 sensitivity to side wind is 
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate 
speed. 
   
ABS: 
 the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer. 
   
Rear parking  
 
sensors 
 
: 
 the system does not 
operate while the vehicle is towing.

CHECK
S
Levels
Cooling system 
  Only use the fluid recommended by the 
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously 
damaging your engine. When the engine 
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is 
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can 
operate with the ignition key removed and 
because the cooling system is pressurised, 
wait for at least one hour after the engine 
has stopped before carrying out any work. 
  Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release 
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding. 
When the pressure has dropped, remove the 
cap and top up the level with coolant. 
  If fluid has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a failure which must be checked by 
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.  
 
 
Power steering fluid level
 
The vehicle must be parked on level ground with 
the engine cold. Unscrew the cap integrated with 
the gauge and check the level which must be 
between the  MIN 
 and  MAX 
 marks.  
Used oil 
 
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the 
skin. 
  Brake fluid is harmful to health and very 
corrosive. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or 
coolant into drains or into the ground but 
into the containers dedicated to this use at 
PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an 
authorised waste disposal site.  
Topping up 
 
The level must be between the  MIN 
 and 
  MAX 
 marks on the expansion bottle. If 
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top 
up the level, have the system checked by 
a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 
Windscreen wash and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and to prevent 
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or 
replaced with plain water. 
  Capacity of the reservoir: approximately 
5.5 litres.

Particle filter system (Diesel)
 
An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by the retaining 
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black 
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted. 
  This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
control unit manages the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration). 
  The regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions of the 
vehicle. During this phase, you may notice 
some unusual phenomena - increased idling 
speed, cooling fan running, increase in smoke 
and higher exhaust gas temperature - which 
does not affect the operation of the vehicle or 
the environment.   After prolonged idling or driving at very low 
speeds, you may occasionally notice water 
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when 
accelerating. This is of no consequence 
to the running of the vehicle or to the 
environment. 
  Because of the higher exhaust gas 
temperature resulting from the normal 
operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.    
Saturation/Regeneration 
   
Operating fault 
  If this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust/particle filter system. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
    This alert tells you that the particle filter 
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban 
driving of exceptionally long duration: low 
speeds, traffic jams etc.) .
  To regenerate the filter, it is advised to 
drive as soon as possible, when traffic 
conditions and the law permit, at a speed 
of at least 40 mph (around 60 km/h), with 
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about 
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears). 
  If possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.     If there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel.

Fuel
Low fuel level 
 
When the fuel tank level  E  
(Empty) is reached, this warning 
lamp comes on. At this moment, 
you have  enough fuel left to 
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km) 
, 
depending on the driving conditions, the 
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up 
without delay to avoid running out of fuel.   The fuel tank must be filled  with the engine 
off 
. 
   
 
-   Open the fuel filler flap. 
   
-   Support the cap with one hand. 
   
-   With the other hand, insert the key, then 
turn it anticlockwise. 
   
-   Remove the cap and hook it onto the 
clip located on the inside of the flap.  
  A label affixed to the inside of the flap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used. 
  When filling the fuel tank, do not continue 
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could 
cause malfunctions. 
  The capacity of the fuel tank is 
approximately  90 
 litres. 
   
 
-   After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap 
and close the flap.  
FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF 
 
In the event of a serious collision, a device 
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the 
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply. 
FILLING WITH FUEL
  Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60 and 
125 litres, may be fi tted.    Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel 
outside the vehicle. 
  Restore the supply by pressing: 
   
 
-   the first button, located under the glove 
box. 
   
 
 
 
 
-   the second button, located in the battery 
compartment under the driver's floor.  
   
 
In low temperatures 
  In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is 
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited 
to low or minus temperatures.

The batteries contain harmful 
substances such as sulphuric acid and 
lead. They must be discarded in accordance 
with the provisions of the law and must not, 
in any circumstances, be discarded with 
household waste. 
  Take used batteries to a special collection 
point.   
 
 
It is advisable to disconnect the negative (-) 
terminal of the battery if the vehicle is not to be 
used for a period of more than one month.  
 
 
Before disconnecting the battery, you 
must wait for 2 minutes after switching off 
the ignition. 
  Never disconnect a terminal when the 
engine is running. 
  Never charge a battery without first 
disconnecting the terminals. 
  Close the windows and doors before 
disconnecting the battery. 
  After every reconnection of the battery, 
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute 
before starting to allow the electronic 
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties 
are experienced after this, please contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer.     
If the battery has been disconnected 
for some time, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the following functions: 
   
 
-   the display parameters (date, 
time, language, distance unit and 
temperature unit), 
   
-   the radio stations, 
   
-   the central locking.  
  Some settings are cleared and must be 
reprogrammed, consult a PEUGEOT. 
  If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or 
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-) 
terminal of the battery (located under the 
floor on the left-hand side, in the cab) is 
recommended if the vehicle is not to be used 
for a period of more than 5 days.
