DRIVING
PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate,
etc.) which comes within the fi eld of de-
tection of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, road-
works cone, etc.) detected initially will
no longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the presence of blind
spots. This function cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the
driver.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequen-
cy of which increases as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right
or left) indicates the side on which the
obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle becomes less than ap-
proximately thirty centimetres, the audi-
ble signal becomes continuous. The system is switched on by engaging
reverse gear. This is accompanied by
an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
come out of reverse gear. This supplements the audible signal
by displaying bars in the multifunction
screen which move progressively near-
er to the vehicle. When the obstacle is
near, the "Danger" symbol is displayed
in the screen. Visual assistance

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel for ve-
hicles with and electric oil level gauge,
or using the dipstick. It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil chang-es). PEUGEOT recommends that
you check the level, and top up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms).
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the en-
gine may be extremely hot (risk of
burns) and the cooling fan could
start at any time (even with the igni-
tion off). A = MAX
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
surface and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes. Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the warranty and maintenance
record. Top them up if necessary, un-
less otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop. Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the
dipstick in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
 Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fl uffy cloth.
 Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is
between the marks A and B . B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A
mark or below the B mark, do not start
the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark
(risk of damage to the engine), con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark,
you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing
the oil, check that the oil is the correct
grade for your engine and conforms to
the manufacturer's recommendations.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
With Stop & Start, the battery does
not have to be disconnected for
charging.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
When your vehicle's battery is dis-
charged or when the vehicle is to be
out of use for a prolonged period, you
can charge the battery using a battery
charger.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop for the specifi cation of
chargers compatible with your battery.
Before disconnecting
 Go to the battery.
 Close the retractable roof.
 Check that the doors and boot are closed but not locked.
 Switch off the ignition and wait for at least four minutes.
If the vehicle is to not going to be used for
more than a month, it is recommended
that the battery be disconnected.
Charging
 Disconnect the (+) terminal.
 Follow the instructions for use pro-vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.
 Connect the charger's red cable to the (+) terminal of the battery, then
the black cable to the (-) terminal.
 Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger cables in re-
verse order.
Charging should be carried out in
a well-ventilated area and away
from naked fl ames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid any risk of
explosion and fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen bat-
tery; fi rst thaw it out so as to avoid
the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before
charging, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed
workshop who will ensure that
the internal components have not
been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would cause
a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
Some functions are not available
if the battery is not suffi ciently
charged. Reinitialisation after
reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait at least
one minute before starting, to allow time
for the initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the fol-
lowing systems yourself:
- remote control,
- electric windows and automatic par- tial opening of door glasses,
- time and date,
- audio and navigation system set- tings.
Check that no alert message or
warning lamp comes on after
switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist
after carrying out these operations,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
