Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes.
An audible signal accompanies the
flashing of the programmed speed when
exceeding the speed is not due to an
action by the driver (steep hill…).
As soon as the vehicle's speed returns to the
programmed value, the limiter operates again:
the display of the programmed speed becomes
steady again.
Switching off
F Press the end of the control: the display of information on the speed limiter disappears.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it signals
a
malfunction of the limiter. Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
s ystem that aims to avoid a frontal collision or
to reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react or reacts too late (brake applied
too late).
This system has been designed to improve driving
safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic and to assess the
distances and relative speeds of other vehicles.
Active City Brake cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope…) at a
distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Principle
Using a laser sensor and a camera located at
t he top of the windscreen, this system detects
a
vehicle moving in the same direction or
stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to reduce the speed
of impact or to help avoid a
collision with the
vehicle ahead.
Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to inter vene only
when there is a
high risk of collision.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.Under-inflation alert
This is shown by the warning lamp
coming on, fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.

This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
Detection of loss of pressure does not
always bring about a visible deformation

Energy economy mode
(Only for vehicles equipped with the Keyless
Entry and Starting system.)
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still
use functions such as the audio system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
max. combined time
of 20


minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the
battery is not fully charged.
Entry into the mode
Once this time has elapsed, the active
functions are put on standby.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and allow it run
for at least 5
minutes. Let the engine run for the duration
specified to ensure that the battery charge
is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart
the engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.

Fitting roof bars
Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars, with a loading height not exceeding
40
cm (except bicycle carriers): 40 kg.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars.
Please refer to national legislation
to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than
the vehicle.
Use the accessories recommended by

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 in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
using the oil level indicator on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on, 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

additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Access to the tank
F Unclip the plastic cover, located at the bottom of the windscreen, by pressing on
both tabs.
When you unclip the plastic cover, make
sure not to remove the seal.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the marks " FULL" or "F"
and " LOW " or "L". The check and top up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
two turns to release the pressure. After it has
dropped, remove the cap and top up.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
