HILL START ASSIST 
 
This function, linked with the ESC, 
makes hill starts easier and is activated 
in the following conditions: 
   
 
-   the vehicle must be stationary, 
engine running, foot on the brake, 
   
-   the gradient of the road must be 
steeper than 5%, 
   
-   uphill, the gearbox must be in 
neutral or in a gear other than 
reverse, 
   
-   downhill, reverse gear must be 
engaged.  
  The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill 
Start Assist function is a driving comfort 
system. It is not an automatic vehicle 
parking function or an automatic 
parking brake. 
   
Operation 
 
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release the 
brake pedal you have approximately 
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to 
roll back and without using the parking 
brake within which to move off. 
  During the moving off phase, the 
function is deactivated automatically, 
gradually releasing the braking 
pressure. During this phase, the 
characteristic noise of mechanical 
release of the brakes may be heard, 
indicating the imminent movement of 
the vehicle. 
   
Operating fault 
 
Hill start assist is deactivated in the 
following situations: 
   
 
-   when the clutch pedal is released, 
   
-   when the parking brake is applied, 
   
-   when the engine is switched off, 
   
-   when the engine stalls.  
 
  If a malfunction of the 
system occurs, this 
warning lamp comes on 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and confi rmed by 
a message in the screen. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop to have the system checked.

LED DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
 
Rear foglamps (amber, 2nd 
rotation of the ring forwards).    Front foglamps (green, 
1st rotation of the ring 
forwards).     
Front and rear foglamps 
  Rotate ring  B 
 forwards to switch on 
and rearwards to switch off. The status 
is confi rmed by the warning lamps in 
the instrument panel. 
  They operate with the sidelamps and 
dipped beam headlamps.   Do not forget to switch them off 
when they are no longer needed. 
  Operation of the automatic illumination 
of headlamps switches off the rear 
foglamps, but the front foglamps 
remain on.  
 
   
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the 
LED daytime running lamps come on 
automatically. 
  If the sidelamps and headlamps are 
switched on manually or automatically, 
the daytime running lamps go off.  
 
 
Programming 
 
For countries where exterior lighting by 
day is not a legal requirement, you can 
activate or deactivate the function via 
the confi guration menu.     To switch off the front and rear 
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice 
in succession. 
  In clear weather or in rain, both day 
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and 
their use is prohibited. 
   
Automatic illumination of headlamps 
 
In foggy weather or in snow, 
the sunshine sensor may detect 
suffi cient light. As a consequence, 
the lighting will not come on 
automatically. 
If necessary, you must switch 
on the dipped beam headlamps 
manually. 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor 
located on the windscreen, behind 
the mirror. It is used for the automatic 
illumination of headlamps and for the 
automatic rain sensitive wipers. 
   
Activation 
  Turn the ring to the  AUTO 
 position. 
The activation of this function is 
accompanied by a message in the 
screen.  
   
Deactivation 
 
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards. 
The deactivation of this function is 
accompanied by a message in the screen. 
  The function is deactivated temporarily 
when you use the manual lighting 
control stalk.   The sidelamps 
and dipped beam 
headlamps switch 
on automatically if 
the light is poor, or 
during operation of the windscreen 
wipers. They switch off as soon as the 
light becomes bright enough or the 
windscreen wipers stop. 
  This function is not compatible with the 
daytime running lamps.

Levels  
 
 
 
Cooling system 
 
Only use the fl uid 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 fl uid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault 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.    In order to regenerate the fi lter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffi c conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off). 
  During regeneration of the particle 
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay 
operating may be heard under the 
dashboard. 
  If the message is still displayed and 
if the service warning lamp remains 
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
   
Topping up 
  The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the expansion 
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is 
required to top up the level, have 
the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
 
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and for your 
safety, we would advise that you use 
products of the PEUGEOT range. 
  For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water. 
  Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres. 
  If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.  
 
 
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
emission filter) 
  The minimum level of this 
additive is indicated by lighting of the 
service warning lamp, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message in the 
screen. 
  When this occurs with the engine 
running it is due to the start of 
saturation of the particle emission fi lter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffi c jams, ...).    
Topping up 
  This additive must be topped up by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop without delay.  
 
 
 
Waste products 
 
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil 
with the skin. 
  Brake fl uid is harmful to health and 
very corrosive. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground 
but into the containers dedicated to this 
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.

FUEL CUT-OFF
 
In a serious collision, a mechanism 
automatically prevents fuel from 
reaching the engine. 
  The fl ashing of this warning 
lamp is accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
  Check that there is no odour or 
leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and 
re-establish the fuel supply: 
   
 
-   switch off the ignition (STOP position), 
   
-   remove the key, 
   
-   put the key back in the ignition, 
   
-   switch on the ignition and start.  
 
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP 
 
 
 
If you should run out of fuel, it is 
necessary to prime the fuel circuit: 
   
 
-  fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve 
litres of Diesel, 
   
-   squeeze and release the manual 
priming pump, under the bonnet 
under the protective cover, 
   
-   operate the starter until the engine 
starts.  
  Refer to the "Under the bonnet" 
section of chapter 6. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Quality of the fuel used for 
Diesel engines 
   
The Diesel engines are perfectly 
compatible with biofuels which conform 
to current and future European 
standards (Diesel fuel which complies 
with standard EN 590 mixed with a 
biofuel which complies with standard 
EN 14214) available at the pumps 
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl 
Ester). 
  The B30 biofuel can be used in certain 
Diesel engines; however, this use 
is subject to strict application of the 
special servicing conditions. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
  The use of any other type of (bio)fuel 
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or 
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly 
prohibited (risk of damage to the 
engine and fuel system).
