Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in thebottom 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 refit 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 par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any overflow.


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

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance 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 wellas 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 per fect working order. )Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar tment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet.)If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting highenough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


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




Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintaina comfor table temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivatethe Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

The vehicle moves off immediately.


Moving off


When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R, D
or M
is selected, the vehicle moves evenwithout the accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle without supervision. When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parkingbrake and select position P
.
P


If position N
is selected inadver tently while driving, allow the engine toreturn to idle then select position D
toaccelerate.
Never select position N
while the vehicle is moving.Never select positions P
or Runless thevehicle is completely stationary.

Automatic operation
)
Select position Dfor automaticchanging
of the four gears.The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptivemode, without any inter vention on the par t
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
v
ehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal downfully (kick down). The gearbox changes downautomatically or maintains the gear selecteduntil the maximum engine speed is reached.On braking, the gearbox changes downautomatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, thegearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

Sport and snow programmes


Sport programme "S"
)
Press button "S", after star ting the engine.

Return to automatic
o
peration
) At any time, press the button selectedagain to quit the programme engaged and
return to auto-adaptive mode. These two special programmes supplement the

This s
ystem requires a battery with a specialspecification and technology (reference numbers available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of
the system.



Maintenance

The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. All work on this type of battery must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.

Practical information











Fitting roof bars
Maximum authorised weight on theroof bars, for a loading height notexceeding 40 cm (with the exception of bicycle carriers): refer to the instructions provided with the roof bars. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof.Be sure to refer to national legislation inorder to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.

Contact a PEUGE
OT dealer or a qualified workshop for the installation of longitudinal bars.
To install transverse roof bars, obser ve the fitting positions indicated by markings on the
longitudinal roof bars.
Use accessories recommended by PEUGEOT, o b s e r v i ng the manufacturer's recommendations and fitting instructions
so as to avoid the risk of damaging the body (deformation, scratches, ...).
To place a load on the roof, it is necessary to mount the load on thetransverse roof bars.
The longitudinal roof bars are not removable.

Checks






Checks
12 V battery


The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Particle emissions filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated bythe fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the screen (if a display screen is fitted).
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lampgoes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first par ticlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burnt" smell, whichis perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicin
g and warranty booklet and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing and warranty
booklet for details of the replacement
inter vals for these components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time theengine oil is changed.
Refer to the ser vicing and warranty
booklet for details of the replacement
interval for this component. When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as oftenif necessary.y A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.
