The collision can be automatically avoided
if the speed difference between your
vehicle and the one ahead is not more
than 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
seriousness of the accident by lowering
the speed of impact.
Activation / Deactivation
It is possible to activate or
deactivate the Active City Brake
from the Driving / Vehicle menu.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Each subsequent time the ignition is switched
on, if the automatic emergency braking function
is deactivated, a temporary message will
be displayed indicating the speed threshold
(6

mph (10 km/h)). Please deactivate the Active City

Operating faults
Clean or clear any dirt, mist or objects (stickers,
leaves, etc.) from the top of the windscreen that
could obstruct the laser's field of vision. In the following cases, you should have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop:

signal indicates that a fault has been
detected.
-
F
ollowing an impact, the system is
automatically put out of ser vice, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
Misting of the windscreen or accumulations
of snow on the bonnet could inter fere with the
operation of the laser. A message appears if
the laser is obstructed.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the

Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without touch screen
F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
With touch screen
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The guide-me-home lighting can be
configured in the menu Driving /
Vehicle.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop and dispose
of it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30


minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
