Limit the causes of excess 
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place 
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, 
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, 
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a 
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and 
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, 
referring to the label in the door aperture, 
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
b
 efore a   long journey,
-
 
a
 t each change of season,
-
 
a
 fter a   long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on 
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine 
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and 
obser ve the schedule of operations in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the 
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only 
after the first 1,900
  miles (3,000   kilometres) 
that you will see the fuel consumption settle 
down to a
  consistent average.
With a
  BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR 
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes 
polluting. As soon as possible, visit 
a
 
PEUGEOT dealer or a   qualified workshop 
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides 
emissions compliant to the standard.

To avoid the risks of poisoning or 
asphyxia, the additional heating must 
not be used, even for short periods, in 
a  closed environment such as a   garage or 
workshop which are not equipped with an 
exhaust gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when 
the battery voltage is low, so as to allow 
engine starting.
The additional heating is fed by the 
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel 
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating 
when refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or 
explosion!
The temperature near the heating 
system must not exceed 120°C. A higher 
temperature (e.g. when baking the 
paint) could damage the components of 
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with 
a
  temperature limiter which cuts off 
the combustion in the event of engine 
overheating due to a
  lack of coolant. 
Check the level and top up if necessary.
For more information on Checking levels , 
refer to the corresponding section.
Then press the programme selection 
button before switching the heating on 
again.Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, 
follow the operation and maintenance 
guidelines below:
F
 
T
 o ensure that the air is distributed evenly, 
keep the external air intake grilles at the 
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the 
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor 
in the boot free from obstructions.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, 
located on the dashboard; this is used for 
regulation of the automatic air conditioning 
system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for 
at least 5
  to 10   minutes once or twice 
a
  month to keep it in per fect working order.
F
 
E
 nsure that the passenger compartment 
filter is in good condition and replace 
the filter elements periodically. We 
recommend the use of a
  combined 
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to 
its special active additive, it helps both to 
purify the air breathed by the occupants 
and to keep the passenger compartment 
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad 
odours and greasy deposits). F
 T o ensure correct operation of the 
air conditioning system, you are also 
advised to have it checked regularly 
as recommended in the Warranty and 
Maintenance Record.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, 
switch it off and contact a
  PEUGEOT 
dealer or a
  qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
  steep 
gradient in high temperatures, switching off 
the air conditioning increases the available 
engine power and so improves the towing 
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and 
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-
 
d
 o not drive for too long with the 
ventilation switched off.
-
 
d
 o not keep air recirculation set for an 
extended period.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine 
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during 
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 
The engine restarts automatically – START 
mode – as soon as you wish to move off. 
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system 
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust 
emissions and offers the comfort of complete 
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP 
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever 
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the engine 
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only 
possible after the vehicle has exceeded 
a
  speed of about 6   mph (10   km/h), to avoid 
repeated stopping of the engine when 
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off 
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition 
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode 
not available
STOP mode is not triggered when:
-
 t he system is initialising,
-
 
t
 he driver's door is open,
-
 
t
 he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-
 
t
 he air conditioning is on,
-
 
t
 he rear screen demisting is on,
-
 
t
 he windscreen wipers are on fast wipe,
-
 
r
 everse gear is engaged for a parking 
manoeuvre,
-
 s
ome special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, particle filter 
regeneration, braking assistance, exterior 
temperature, etc.) where the engine is 
needed to assure control of a
  system.-
 
d
 uring intensive use of Stop & Start, it 
may be deactivated to conser ve starting 
ability; go to a   PEUGEOT dealer to have the 
function reactivated.
This indicator lamp in the instrument 
panel flashes for a   few seconds, 
then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Going into engine START 
mode
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine 
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing 
the clutch pedal.
This indicator lamp goes off and the 
engine restarts.
If the driver takes no action on the vehicle for 
3
  minutes after an automatic restart in START 
mode, the system stops the engine definitively. 
The engine can then only be restarted using 
t h e key.

Checks
These operations allow your vehicle to be 
kept in good working order. Ask for advice 
from a  PEUGEOT dealer or refer to the 
manufacturer's service schedule included 
in the handbook pack.
Battery
The battery does not require any 
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the 
terminals are correctly tightened 
(models without quick release 
terminals) and that the connections 
are clean. Models 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.
Air filter
At the start of winter, have your battery checked 
by a   PEUGEOT dealer or a   qualified workshop.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent 
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or 
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or 
methanol based fluid is recommended.
Refer to the manufacturer's 
ser vice schedule for details of 
the replacement inter val for this 
component.
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 .
Passenger compartment 
filter
Refer to the manufacturer's 
ser vice schedule for details of 
the replacement inter val for this 
component. 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
.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's 
ser vice schedule for details of 
the replacement inter val for this 
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
A clogged passenger compartment 
filter may have an adverse effect on 
the per formance of the air conditioning 
system and generate undesirable odours.
As an addition to the catalytic converter, 
this filter makes an active contribution to the 
preser vation of air quality by retaining unburnt 
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are 
also eliminated.
