Servicing
Principle
The vehicle's odometer is displayed in area A
of the display screen and the trip recorder in
area B. -
it remains displayed if the service is
overdue,
The service indicator does not appear if it is
more than 2 000 miles (3 000 km) before the
next service is due.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions only
(depending on country of sale), the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
is also taken into account.
Compared to the intervals given in the
manufacturer's service schedule, this is a
countdown related to the interval.
It is calculated from the last reset of
the service indicator, according to the
mileage covered and the time elapsed
since the last service. The service indicator appears when
approaching a servicing point:
- it indicates the distance before the next
service is due,
- it displays the servicing interval in
two ways,

Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.
F Press the trip distance recorder zero reset
button.
The service information is displayed for a
few seconds, then disappears.
With the trip mileage displayed, press the
button for a few seconds.
Trip recorder reset
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 switch off the ignition,
F press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F when the display indicates "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
For BlueHDi 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
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi 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.

Level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Fault
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL_ _" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Level correct
It is normal to top-up the engine oil
level between services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the oil level and top-up if necessary,
every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
Electronic oil level indicator
The check is done for a few seconds on
switching on the ignition with a message in the
display or screen (depending on version).
It is only valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.

In order for the ventilation and air conditioning to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F To 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 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F The air conditioning system only works with the engine running.
F Operate 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 Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We 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 To 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 If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT 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.
Advice
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).
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it
twice as often if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule.

Switching off:
Check the "Automatic emergency braking
deactivated " box.
The last selection remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
If the automatic emergency braking function is
deactivated, following each start a temporary
message will be displayed to signal this
once a speed threshold (6 mph - 10 km/h) is
exceeded.
To deactivate:
- Following an impact to the windscreen
close to the sensor.
- When towing a trailer.
- When the vehicle is being towed.
To check (whether it is necessary to deactivate
the function before):
- crossing a toll payment barrier.
- going through an automatic car wash.
Advice
To clean or clear: from the top of the
windscreen, any dirt, masking deposits or
accumulation of mist on the windscreen, any
stickers or leaves obstructing the field of vision
of the laser, as well as accumulations of snow
on the bonnet that could inter fere with the
perception of risks and so the measurement.
If the laser is obscured, a message appears
to suggest cleaning and/or demisting the
windscreen.
Remain particularly vigilant when driving
in poor weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog,
snow…) as braking distances increase while
the laser's calculation parameters stay the
same.Maintenance
Check that the sensor is not obscured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
- The message " Automatic braking system
fault " accompanied by an audible signal
indicating that a fault has been detected.
- Following an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Class 1M Laser Product : The laser
rays are invisible, do not look at it
directly with an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope…) as
there is a risk of eye injury.

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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT 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.
