In certain circumstances, you may have to
turn the steering wheel firmly to move the
road wheels (if the wheels are against a
kerb, for example).
F Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering and the key.
F Turn the key to position 2 , ignition on, to
operate the engine pre-heating system.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then
operate the starter motor by
turning the key to position 3 without
pressing the accelerator pedal until
the engine starts. Once the engine
is running, release the key.
The indicator lamp does not come on
if the engine is hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Depending on version, if the air conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In ver y severe wintr y
conditions
(temperature below
-23°C), to ensure the correct operation
and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4
minutes before moving
of f.
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! With petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2
minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call in a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the
cruise control/speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have
two fixings located below the seat.

With a manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly. With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles , in sub-zero
temperatures, the engine will not
start until the pre-heater warning
lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on
after pressing the "START/STOP"
button, press down on the brake
or clutch pedal until the warning
lamp goes off, without pressing the
"START/STOP" button again, until
the engine starts and runs.
The presence of the "Keyless Entry and
Starting" system remote control in the
recognition zone is essential.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and with the remote control on
your person.
If the remote control leaves the

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message.
Fuel cut- of f
When it first comes on, less than 6 litres of
f uel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel. Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device.
Driving abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to
open the left-hand side door, a mechanism
prevents it from being opened.
The door can be opened half way however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of
the door.

Automatic electronic
parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in case
of an issue, do not hesitate to have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the Automatic
electronic 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. 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 unwanted ESC regulation.
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! 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)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of 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 liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a special tank holding about
17
litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600
miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
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.
