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.
When carrying out work on the battery, re-
fer to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter is indicated
by the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the risk of blockage of the parti-
cle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, 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, refer to the
"Additive level" section.
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 cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your
vehicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.
)
Drive immediately for approximately
three miles (fi ve kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 15 and 35 mph
(20 and 60 km/h)), to plug the puncture.
)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the sys-
tem is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Do not start the compressor be-
fore connecting the white pipe to
the tyre valve: the sealant prod-
uct would be expelled through the
pipe.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the tyre under-
infl ation warning lamp will remain on
after the wheel has been repaired
until the system is reinitialised by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. Take care, the bottle of fl uid con-
tains ethylene-glycol. This product
is harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes. Keep it out of
reach of children.
The expiry date of the fl uid is indi-
cated on the base of the bottle.
The bottle is designed for a sin-
gle use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the bot-
tle into the environment, take it to a
PEUGEOT dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle
of sealant product, available from
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
)
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket
again.
)
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch A
in
position "1"
; to defl ate: switch A
in
position "0"
and press button B
),
in accordance with the vehicle's
tyre pressure label (located on the
door aperture on the driver's side),
then remember to check that the
leak is plugged correctly (no further
loss of pressure after several miles
[kilometres]).
)
Remove the compressor, then store
the whole kit.
)
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop as soon
as possible to have the tyre
repaired or replaced by a
technician.
)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) for no more than
approximately 125 miles (200 km).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Charging
)
Disconnect the (+) terminal.
)
Follow the instructions for use
provided 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
reverse 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.
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 systems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the
following systems yourself:
- remote control,
- one-touch electric windows,
- panoramic sunroof blind,
- time and date,
- audio and navigation system settings.
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.
The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
Before disconnecting
)
Go to the battery.
)
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 recommend-
ed that the battery be disconnected.
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.

Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recov-
ery service:
- vehicle broken down on a
motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved
towing bar available...
Failure to observe this instruction
could result in damage to certain
components (braking, transmis-
sion..) and the absence of braking
assistance the next time the engine
is started.

Towing another vehicle TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer
with additional lighting and signalling.
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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses 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 imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
If your vehicle is fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp engine, you cannot fi t a
towbar. The space occupied by the sport
exhaust system prevents this.
