AT A GLANCE
  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...). Use 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: 
   -   before  a  long  journey, 
  -   at each change of season, 
  -   after 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, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the 
warranty and maintenance record.    
  When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 
rd  cut-off of the nozzle 
to avoid any overflow.  
  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.

   Starting  and  stopping   
 The Stop & Start system puts the engine 
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - 
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 
jams, or other...). The engine restarts 
automatically - START mode - as soon as 
you want to move off. The restart takes 
place instantly, quickly and silently. 
 Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system reduces fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of 
complete silence when stationary. 
STOP & START 
  Operation 
  Going into engine STOP mode 
 With the vehicle stationary, put the gear 
lever into neutral, then release the clutch 
pedal.    -   The   "S"  warning lamp comes on in the instrument 
panel and the engine goes 
into  standby.      Automatic stopping of the engine is 
only possible after the vehicle has 
exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), 
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine 
when driving slowly.  
  Never leave your vehicle with out first 
turning off the ignition with the key.  
   Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
with the key.     Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable 
 The STOP mode is not invoked when: 
   -   the  system  is  initialising, 
  -   the driver's door is open, 
  -   the driver's seat belt is not fastened, 
  -   the air conditioning is running, 
  -   the heated rear screen is on, 
  -   the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe, 
  -   reverse gear is engaged, for a parking 
manoeuvre, 
  -   some  special  conditions  (battery  charge, engine temperature, particle 
filter regeneration, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature...) where the 
engine is needed to assure control of 
a  system.   
  The   "S"  warning lamp flashes for 
a few seconds, then goes off. 
  This operation is perfectly normal.

  DEMISTING  AND  DEFROSTING 
  Manual mode  
 Direct the control to this air 
distribution setting. 
  For faster and more effective 
demisting and defrosting of the 
windscreen:    Defrosting the rear screen 
and mirrors 
  Only operates when the engine 
is running. Pressing this button 
activates the rapid demisting-
defrosting of the rear screen 
and door mirrors. 
 This function switches off automatically to 
prevent excessive energy consumption. It 
stops when the engine is switched off but 
resumes when the engine is started again. 
 Pressing this button switches the function 
off.   
   -   increase  the  air  flow  setting, 
 Returning to the exterior air 
intake position permits renewal 
of the air in the passenger 
compartment.  
  Windscreen and side windows 
 The ventilation outlets located at the base 
of the windscreen and the side vents for the 
side windows increase the effectiveness 
of the demisting and defrosting. Do not 
obstruct these air outlets. 
 The pollen filter continuously and effectively 
filters dust. 
 Air recirculation (which can be activated by 
the driver or the passenger) isolates the 
passenger compartment from the exterior 
atmosphere. However, this position should 
only be used temporarily, normal use is to 
drive with the control positioned with the 
exterior air intake open. 
  -   move the exterior air intake 
control temporarily to air 
recirculation.  
        With Stop & Start, when the heated 
rear screen is switched on, the STOP 
mode is not available.

EASE OF USE 
and

Ventilation
 CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING 
 In order to be effective, the air conditioning 
should only be used with the windows 
closed. However, if the interior temperature 
remains high after a prolonged period 
parked in the sun, first ventilate the 
passenger compartment for a few minutes.  For even air distribution, ensure that the 
exterior air intake grille located at the base 
of the windscreen, the side and central 
vents, the air outlets on the floor and the air 
extractor at the rear are not obstructed. 
 The air conditioning is useful in all seasons 
as it eliminates condensation and air 
humidity.   Operate the air conditioning system for 
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, 
to keep it in good working order. 
 Have the filter elements (air filter and 
passenger compartment filter) replaced 
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment, 
have them replaced twice as often. 
 It is normal that the condensation created by 
the air conditioning system results in a flow 
of water which may form a puddle under the 
vehicle when parked. 
 If the system does not produce cold air, 
do not use it and have it checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  "Leave  them  open" 
 For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot 
or cool air in the passenger compartment, 
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of 
which 2 can be directed sideways (right 
or left) towards the top of the body and 
4 side vents which can be directed towards 
the passengers. The air vents directed 
towards the floor of the vehicle complete 
the  equipment.

   Levels  and  checks   
       
The presence of this label, in particular with 
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of 
a specifi c 12 V lead-acid battery with special 
technology and specifi cation. The involvement 
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop 
is essential when replacing or disconnecting 
the  battery.   These operations will keep your vehicle 
in good running order. Ask for advice 
from a PEUGEOT dealer or refer to the 
warranty and maintenance record included 
in the handbook pack. 
 CHECKS 
  Battery 
 At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified  workshop.  
  Bleeding  water  from the Diesel filter 
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter, or bleed regularly 
each time the engine oil is 
changed. 
 To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor. 
  Air filter and passenger compartment filter 
 A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are given in 
the warranty and maintenance record. 
 Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary. 
 Refer to the "Checks - Under the 
bonnet"  section.  
 HDi engines use advanced technology. 
All work requires a special qualification 
which is guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.   

 128
   Levels  and  checks   
  Operating  fault 
 If this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust / particle filter system. 
 Have the whole system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.   
 If there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel. 
  Saturation  /  Regeneration    Because of the higher exhaust 
gas temperature resulting from the 
normal operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.  
Particle filter system (Diesel) 
 An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by the retaining 
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black 
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted. 
  Operation 
 This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
management unit controls the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration). 
 The regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions 
of the vehicle. During this phase, you 
may notice some unusual phenomena - 
increased idling speed, cooling fan running, 
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas 
temperature - which does not affect the 
operation of the vehicle or the environment.     After prolonged idling or driving at very 
low speeds, you may occasionally 
notice water vapour being emitted from the 
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no 
consequence to the running of the vehicle or 
to the environment.    To regenerate the filter, it is advised to 
drive as soon as possible, when traffic 
conditions and the law permit, at a speed 
of at least 40 mph (around 60 km/h), with 
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about 
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears). 
 If possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.  
 This alert tells you that the particle filter 
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban 
driving of exceptionally long duration: low 
speeds, traffic jams etc.)
