BATTERY PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)
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 circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
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, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\
f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with
the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
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 performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Sealing
 Switch off the ignition.  Uncoil the white pipe
G fully.
 Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
 Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
 Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
 Start the vehicle and leave the engine running.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into
the tyre.
 Turn the selector
A to the "sealant" position.
 Check that the switch B is in position "O" .

8/
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHECKING TYRE PRESSURES /
INFLATING ACCESSORIES
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- infl ate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
 Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.
 Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
 Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors supplied with the kit fi rst.  Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.
 Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
 Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to infl ate: switch B
in position "I" ; to defl ate: switch B in position "O" and press
button C ), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the
accessory's pressure label.
 Remove the kit then stow it.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
DISCONNECTING / RECONNECTING THE
CABLES
To avoid discharging the battery, do not leave the vehicle lighting
on repeatedly with the ignition off (refer to the "Energy economy
mode" paragraph).
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Retract the active spoiler then close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if slight problems remain following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must yourself
reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the electric windows and the automatic partial opening of the door windows,
- the GPS satellite navigation system.
 Raise the locking tab
D fully.
 Position the open clip E of the cable on the positive terminal (+)
of the battery.
 Press vertically on the clip E to position it correctly against the
battery.
 Lock the clip by lowering the tab D .
CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A BATTERY
CHARGER
 Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the char\
ger.
 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.
Do not force the tab as locking will not be possible if the clip is not \
positioned correctly.
Start the procedure again. Some functions are not available if the battery is not suffi ciently
charged.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
on the engine speed.
 To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.  If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed…).
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press RADIO, select Radio Menu then "Waveband" to return to the waveband on which the stations are stored.
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed…).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened\
to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the\
vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks…) bl\
ock reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
