Stop & Start time 
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from  
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption.
Tr i p  c o m p u t e r
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining 
in the tank (related to the 
average fuel consumption over 
the last few miles (kilometres) 
travelled).
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip 
reset.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time 
counter calculates the time spent in STOP 
mode during a journey. 
It resets to zero every time the ignition is 
switched on with the key.

Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the 
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from 
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and 
start the vehicle.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance 
guidelines below:
F 
T
 o 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
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation 
of the air conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate 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
 
E
 nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
 W
e 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
 
T
 o 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
 
I
 f 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.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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.
For more information on Stop & Start, refer to the corresponding section.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your 
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to 
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is 
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate 
the need to brake and increase the distance 
from other vehicles.If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!
Driving on flooded roads
- check that the depth of water does not  exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves 
that might be generated by other users,
-
 
d
 eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
 
d
 rive as slowly as possible without 
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph 
(10
 
km/h),
-
 
d
 o not stop and do not switch off the 
engine.
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage 
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the 
electrical systems of your vehicle.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as 
circumstances allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Never drive with the parking brake 
applied - Risk of overheating and 
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle 
is very hot, even several minutes after 
switching off the engine, do not park 
or run the engine over areas where 
inflammable substances and materials 
are present: grass, leaves, etc...
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised 
with the engine running. If you have 
to leave your vehicle with the engine 
running, apply the parking brake 
and put the gearbox into neutral or 
position
 
N or P, depending on the type 
of gearbox.
