6 to obtain a adequate
air flow for your comfort. If you put the air flow control in
position
0 (system off), the temperature

a slight flow of air can still be felt,
resulting from the movement of the
vehicle.

Ease of use and comfort63

A setting around 21 enables you to obtain an
optimum level of comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you avoid a
left /right setting difference of more than 3.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value indicated in the screen corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.F

P
ush the button down (blue) to
reduce the value or up (red) to
increase it.
Dual-zone digital air conditioning
AUTO mode
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too great a distribution of
c o l d a i r.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, the side windows and the
footwells only.
Offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation. Provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
Provides strong and effective air flow.

In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.

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:
-
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 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.

Stop & Start
The "ECO" lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine goes
into standby.
Operation
STOP mode
With e-HDi or BlueHDi Diesel and an
electronic gearbox:
-

S
peed below 4 mph (6 km/h).
-

G
ear lever in position N
Or
-
B

rake pedal pressed.
Special cases
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is selected,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" lamp flashes for a few
seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby - STOP mode - during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon
as you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
With BlueHDi Diesel and a manual gearbox:
-

A

Reversing camera
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors. The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off).
Checking levels
Check the levels regularly, in line with the
manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up
if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

BlueHDi
and AdBlue
® additive
SCR technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the solution
needed for operation of the SCR system.
BlueHDi vehicles have a specific AdBlue
®
additive tank with a capacity of 17 litres .
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be done using
5

or 10 litre containers or 1.89 litre bottles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by up
to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides)
in the air, using a system that converts NOx
into water vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions
standard adopted by the European Union
aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants
from internal combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi engines
involves the injection of AdBlue
® fluid into the
exhaust system. Check that the product is within its use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
If you want to fill the AdBlue
® tank yourself,
ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
additive container.
This operation can also be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
