Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle’s exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is started making the vehicle more visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured: - in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps. - for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.

12 V battery Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The presence of this label indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting the battery. Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
The battery is located under the bonnet. To gain access to it:  open the bonnet using the interior release lever, then the exterior safety catch,  remove the plastic cover to gain access to the two terminals,  unclip the fusebox to remove the battery, if
necessary.
Access to the battery
 Raise the locking tab D fully to release the cable terminal clamp E .
Disconnecting the (+) cable
Reconnecting the (+) cable
 Position the open clamp E of the cable on the positive post (+) of the battery.
 Press vertically on the clamp E to position it correctly on the battery.  Lock the clamp by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab D .
Do not apply excessive force on the tab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; start the procedure again.

Practical information
 Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B .
Starting using another
battery
 Disconnect the battery from the vehicle, if necessary.  Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger.  Reconnect starting with the negative terminal (-).  Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove them and clean them.

208Practical information
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery. After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of about forty minutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument panel screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby. If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is driven.  In order to resume the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run: - for less than ten minutes, to use the equipment for approximately five minutes, - for more than ten minutes, to use the equipment for up to approximately thirty minutes. Let the engine run for the duration specified to ensure that the battery charge is sufficient. Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge the battery. A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the "Battery" section).

Refer to the servicing booklet for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the servicing booklet for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter 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 indicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly 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.
