HILL START ASSIST
On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal,
if the gear selector is
in position A
or M
.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged,
the vehicle is held for a brief moment
when you release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while
it is being held in the hill start
assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the
hybrid system active, apply the park-
ing brake manually then ensure that
the parking brake warning lamp and
the warning lamp P
on the lever (of the
electric brake) are permanently on.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system occurs,
these warning lamps come on. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked.
System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated.

When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically

be taken into account when
the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot

In addition to the rear parking sensors,
the front parking sensors are triggered
when an obstacle is detected in front
and the speed of the vehicle is still be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more than
three seconds in forward gear, if no
further obstacles are detected or when
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
Deactivation / Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp in the
button goes off.
Operating fault
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is be-
ing towed or a bicycle carrier
is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure 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.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instru-
ment panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied by
an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.

CHECKS
169
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 u-
ids 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.
Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.
A low additive level is indicated
by illumination of the service
warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible warning and a
message in the instrument
panel screen.
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 next stop
the vehicle.
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.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may start after switch-
ing off the engine: take care with arti-
cles and clothing that might become
caught by the fan blades.
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 pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

CHECKS

CHECKS
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off) to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from automatic
operation of the engine.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
servicing booklet and according to your
engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.
12 V battery
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. 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.
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)
As soon as the traffi c condi-
tions permit, regenerate the
fi lter by driving at a speed of
at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this in-
dicates a low additive level.
The 100% electric mode is not avail-
able during regeneration of the particle
emissions fi lter. The start of saturation of the
particle fi lter is indicated by
the temporary illumination
of this warning lamp accom-
panied by a message in the
multi-function screen.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle
fi lter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
179
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where
it does not block traffi c: the
ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and put
the gear lever in position R
to lock
the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
List of operations
)
Remove the central wheel trim using
the tool 3a
or remove the covers from
each of the bolts using tool 3b
.
)
Fit the security socket 5

in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
)
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B
used.
)

fi cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.
