Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
The system controls the
distribution, the flow and the
intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a sufficient circulation
of air in the passenger compartment
according to the comfort value set. No
further action on your part is required. Air flow will increase gradually when
the engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution of cold air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

The audible (front and rear) and visual
(rear) parking sensor system consists
of proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which
enters its field of operation: person,
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre will no
longer be detected at the end of the
manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.

REVERSING CAMERA
The reversing camera is activated
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch
screen.
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. High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do
not direct the lance within 30 cm of
the camera lens.
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. 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 bumper.
The green lines represent distances of
about 1 and 2 metres beyond the edge
of your vehicle's rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves represent
the maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate causes the
display to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come
on to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The automatic braking may bring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5
seconds) to allow the driver to take
back control by pressing the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal quickly enough during
automatic braking.
During automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service: it
no longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is
interrupted if the driver:
-
accelerates strongly
-
or turns the steering wheel
suddenly (avoiding manoeuvre). In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow
, fog, hail...),
braking distances increase, which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoid a collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
snow or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may
suffer interference from accumulations
of dirt or misting of the windscreen.
In this case you are warned by the
display of a message.
Use the windscreen demisting
and regularly clean the area of the
windscreen in front of the sensor.Do not stick or otherwise fix any
object on the windscreen in front
of the sensor. System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, you are warned by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Automatic braking system fault".
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of an impact to
the windscreen at the sensor,
deactivate the system and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to
have your windscreen
replaced.
Never try to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is able to work
on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the
vehicle is being towed, the system
must be deactivated.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).
