Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a
clearly visible
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Energy economy mode
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 and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a
telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:

Very cold climate screen
(Depending on country of sale.)
Prevents snow from accumulating at the
radiator cooling fan.
This removable device consists of two
elements to be attached to the front bumper. For fitting and removing the screen, it is
recommended that you get in touch with
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before fitting or removing a screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped.

Fitting directly to the roof
You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located in the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle
doors when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.Maximum load distributed across the
transverse roof bars, for a
load height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg
.
For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a
long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed. Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.
Bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
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.

To p p i n g u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue level
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and in particular topping it up, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and
depending on your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.

Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a
message about
the risk of the filter clogging up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed
of at least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a
low Diesel additive level.

components related to the Stop & Start
system. Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a

In the event of a breakdown
265
For right-hand drive vehicles, when the
total distance recorder has reached
62 miles (100 km), it is necessary to wait
approx. 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-
t
he key with remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
t
he sunroof and its electric blind,
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he preset radio stations. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a
continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1
minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing eye.
Access to the tools
