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 pressures (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 warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

steering movements and sudden braking.

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a
visual
check. or
F

i
f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
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.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure 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 conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to 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.

Malfunction
The registered speed is erased, then replaced
by three dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. Under no circumstances can the speed
limiter replace the need to obser ve speed
limits, nor the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road, be careful when accelerating sharply
and stay in complete control of your
vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is positioned and
secured to the floor correctly,
-

ever fit one mat on top of another.
Cruise control "CRUISE"
System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.

1.Cruise control mode selection/off.
2. Increase the programmed value.

4. Stop/resume cruise control.
This driving assistance system, for use
when the traffic is flowing, allows a
speed
programmed by the driver to be maintained,
except on a
steep gradient.

In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the speed of the vehicle must be above 25

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed on the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented as lines marked "on the
ground" and do not indicate the position of the
vehicle in relation to tall obstacles (e.g. other
vehicles).
Some distortion of the image is normal.
The blue lines 1 represent the general direction of
t he vehicle (the distance between them represents
the width of your vehicle without the door mirrors).
The red line 2
represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines 3
represent distances of about
1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The reversing camera cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
High-pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance from less than 30
cm from the
lens of the camera.
Opening the tailgate causes the display to
disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a
soft, dry cloth.
Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
p rovides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their vehicle
ensuring that the space remains clear during the
manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may not
detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury!
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
If you have a
manual gearbox, the driver
manages the acceleration, braking, gears and
clutch.
With an automatic gearbox, the driver manages
the acceleration, braking and gears.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10

kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3

bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
