Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom 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...). u
s
e 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 particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
With a Blue HDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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 to
a consistent average.

Service overdue
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner flashes to indicate that the service
must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates: For Blue HDi Diesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, when the ignition is switched on.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
warranty and maintenance record.
For Blue HDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according to the degree of deterioration
of the engine oil. The deterioration
of the engine oil depends on the
conditions in which the vehicle is used.
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be registered.
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
If you have carried out the service on your
vehicle yourself:
F
s
witch off the ignition,
F

p
ress and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F

s
witch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F

w
hen the display indicates "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
.

Monitoring

66
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o 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 well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment 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 compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air 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, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough 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 is
perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

tart the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there is an
audible signal, accompanied by the display of
an warning message.
Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R , D
or M is selected, the vehicle moves
even without 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 parking
brake and select position P .
If position N is selected inadvertently
while driving, allow the engine to
return to idle then select position D to
accelerate.
If the ambient temperature is
below

-23°C, the engine should be left
at idle for four minutes, to ensure the
correct operation and life of the engine
and gearbox. Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing
of the four gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part
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
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or maintains the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide efficient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the
gearbox will not change to a higher gear for
safety reasons.

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off,
accompanied by a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then
comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the warning lamps
come on. It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition and start the engine again using
t h e key. Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
S TA R T m o d e .
This system requires a battery with a special
specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or
a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
Pe ugeO T 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 P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a qualified
workshop.
