If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.

The warning lamp does not come on if the
engine is already hot.In certain climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n mild conditions, do not leave the
engine at idle to warm up but move off
straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the preheater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of the vehicle
(engine and gearbox), leave the
engine running for 4
minutes before
starting the vehicle.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! If the engine does not start immediately,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does not
start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: risk of damaging the starter motor
and the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

This safety equipment should be used in
addition to the hazard warning lamps.
Placing the triangle on the
road
Before leaving your vehicle to set up and install
the triangle, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put on your high visibility vest.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions on
unfolding and assembly supplied with the
triangle.The triangle is available as an accessory;

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before priming
, at least 5
litres of Diesel fuel
must be added to the tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) , refer to the
corresponding section.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, the
components are located in the engine
compartment; they can be found under the
removable cover. For more information about the Engine

with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.

carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion
or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or using a battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to the moving parts of the engine
(fan, belt, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
Always replace the battery with one of
equivalent specification.
Access to the battery
F Remove the plastic cover to access the (+)
terminal, if your vehicle has one.
