AdBlue® range indicators
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is on reser ve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of
AdBlue
®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.

In the event of a fault with the
SCR emissions control system
An engine immobiliser is activated
automatically after you have driven a
further 650
miles (1,100 km) following
confirmation of a fault with the SCR
emissions control system. Have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnostic checks of the SCR
emissions control system.
The warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent

Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started.
To be able to restart the engine, you must call
on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Each time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented".
During the permitted driving phase (between
685 and 0 miles (1,100 km and 0 km))
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR
emission control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle. If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), these warning lamps come on and the
AdBlue warning lamp flashes, accompanied by
an audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in
200 miles (300 km") indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres.

by lighting of this warning lamp in
the instrument panel, an audible
signal and a message in the screen.

lip the cover onto the casing.Do not throw away the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point. Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer, taking with you
the vehicle's registration certificate, your
personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Closed vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make it
difficult for the emergency services to enter
the vehicle 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.
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. It may become inoperative.
It will then be necessary to reinitialise it
again.
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.
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.

Backrest angle
F Push the handle towards the rear and move the seat backrest for wards or backwards.
Heated seats
With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately.
F

U
se the adjustment wheel, select the level
of heating required:
0: Of f.
1: Low.
2: Medium.
3: High.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can stop the function;
reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption. Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

i
f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d
o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-
n

ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
in the boot free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic 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 replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period. 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 condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
