button.
T

he ser vice information is displayed for
a


few seconds, then disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
(depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30
minutes.
Oil level insufficient
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the Ser vice warning lamp and
an audible signal.
Oil level indicator fault
This is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Engine coolant temperature
With the engine running, when the needle is:
- i n zone A , the temperature of the engine
coolant is correct, -

i
n zone B
, the temperature of the engine
coolant is too high; the maximum
temperature and the central STOP warning
lamps come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a

warning message in
the screen.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.

In the event of a fault with the central
l ocking system, it is essential to
disconnect the battery to lock the boot and
so ensure complete locking of the vehicle.
Alarm
System which protects and provides a deterrent
a gainst theft and break-ins. It provides the
following types of monitoring:
-

E
xterior perimeter :
T

he system checks whether the vehicle is
opened. The alarm is triggered if anyone
tries to open a
door, the boot or the bonnet.
-

I
nterior volumetric :
T

he system checks for any variation in the
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a


window, enters the passenger
compartment or moves inside the vehicle. Self-protection function
: the system
checks for the putting out of ser vice of its
own components. The alarm is triggered
if the battery, button or siren wiring is
disconnected or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

after 5
seconds and the interior volumetric
monitoring after 45


seconds.
F

L
ock or deadlock the vehicle
using the remote control.
When the monitoring system is active, the
indicator lamp in the button flashes once per
second and the direction indicators come on for
about 2


seconds. If an opening (door, boot, bonnet, etc.)
is incorrectly closed, the vehicle is
not locked, but the exterior perimeter
monitoring will be activated after
45
seconds, at the same time as the
interior volumetric monitoring.
Deactivation
F Press the remote control unlocking button.
The monitoring system is
deactivated: the indicator lamp in
the button goes off and the direction
indicators flash for about 2
seconds.
If the vehicle automatically locks itself
again (as happens if a
door or the boot
is not opened within 30
seconds of
unlocking), the monitoring system is
automatically reactivated.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
30


seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered ten times in
succession.

Deactivation/Reactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.Opening the bonnet Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a
flooded road, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Malfunction
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
b attery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
F

T

o deactivate or reactivate the system,
press this button.
The indicator lamp is lit when the system is
deactivated.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
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.
In the event of a

fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes, then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
If a

fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.

pressurisation of the braking system.
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
impact 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 memorised 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 to point this out when a
speed
threshold (6
mph (10 km/h)) is exceeded. Deactivate the Active City Brake:

resses the accelerator pedal firmly,
-

t
urns the wheel sharply (avoiding
manoeuvre).
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:
-
T
he message "
Automatic braking system
fault " accompanied by an audible 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
sensor.
Be particularly vigilant when driving in poor
weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog, snow, etc.).
This is because braking distances increase
while the laser's calculation parameters remain
the same.

Recommendations
Distribute the load evenly, making sure not
to overload one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars when they are not
in use.
Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut. When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
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.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
