No alert will be given in the following situations:
- i n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner, -

w
hen overtaking or being overtaken by a
very long vehicle (lorry, bus, etc.) which
is both detected in the rear blind spot and
present in the driver’s front field of vision,
-
i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry or
a stationary object,
-
w
hen overtaking quickly.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, this warning
lamp comes on.
The alert is accompanied by a
message and an audible signal.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.

You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The state of the system is not kept in memory
when the ignition is switched off.Principle of operation
Using the rear camera, the vehicle's
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time, as the
vehicle manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen.
This image is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.
This system is a visual aid that cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. The images provided by the camera may
be distorted by the relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.

During use
Never release the device with a trailer or
load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is a
serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
carrier, the towball must be removed and
the blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
This measure applies particularly where
the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.Blanking plug
In the event of towing, it is essential to remove
the blanking plug if your vehicle has one.
To do this, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The blanking plug is located behind the
lower air intake grille.

Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
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. 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
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea,
a catalytic converter converts up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
Practical information

189
The AdBlue® is contained in
a special tank holding about
17


litres.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after travelling the distance
of 685

miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent the
engine from starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised. For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps
and the associated
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles (for those
versions with access to the AdBlue
® tank
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep AdBlue
® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a cool place).

partly used.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into
the environment, take it to an authorised
waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type spare
wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Tyre under-
inflation detection , refer to the
corresponding section.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F

d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
lamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Light-emitting diodes –
LEDs
For replacement, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
