If a trailer is attached to the towball,
when reverse gear is engaged the visual
reversing aid will no longer work until the
trailer is disconnected. The monitoring
rear view becomes the default view.
If the system develops a malfunction, go
to a PEUGEOT dealer to avoid any safety
problems.
Maintenance
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors and cameras are not covered with
mud, ice or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lenses
regularly.
If necessary, clean the cameras with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing your vehicle at high-pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30
cm away from
the cameras and parking sensors.
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.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of the warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

Driving

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10
% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their original
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towbar is used.

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

When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.

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 signalled by the temporary
illumination of one of these warning
lamps, accompanied by a message
warning of 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.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
