Practical information
7► While depressing the brake pedal, press the
control lever to release the parking brake.
►

Release the brake pedal, switch off the
ignition.
If the 5-second time limit is exceeded, the
gearbox engages mode P

; it is then necessary to
restart the procedure.
Reverting to normal operation
► While depressing the brake pedal, restart the
engine.
Keyless Entry and Starting
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on or off. If you do,
the engine will start, requiring you to restart
the procedure.
Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment, due to the risk
of damaging electrical components.
Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle at an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
remove the electronic key.
When using a pressure washer, hold the
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle
(particularly when cleaning areas containing
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the
vehicle more frequently to remove salty
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas).
These substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop if you require advice on removing
stubborn stains requiring special products
(such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure washer to
clean the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage if they come into contact with the
controls in the dashboard and centre console.
Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high pressure washer to
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!

In the event of a breakdown
► Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be placed in the boot under the floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
►

Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
►


Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►


T
ighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►

Depending on version, put the tool box back
in place

in the middle of the wheel and clip it in
place.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode

P

to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed to be in automatic
mode, and switch off the ignition.
Check for the fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument panel.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
Wheel with wheel trim
When removing the wheel , first remove
the wheel trim by pulling at the valve aperture
using the wheelbrace.
When refitting the wheel , refit the wheel
trim, starting by placing its aperture in line
with the valve and then pushing it into place
all round its edge with the palm of your hand.




► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►

Fit security socket
2 on wheelbrace

slacken the security bolt.
►

Slacken the other bolts using the

only.


► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.

In the event of a breakdown
8Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
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 electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►

Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery

A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point


C
.
►

Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►


Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately

, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►

W
ait for it to return to idle.
►

Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
►


Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►


Allow the engine to run for at least
30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Drive cautiously during the first 30
minutes after starting the engine.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
–

using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–


if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12

V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

180
In the event of a breakdown
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain
equipment:
– Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
– Electric windows.
– Date and time.
– 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 with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).

24v 12v
If this label is present, use only a 12 V
charger to avoid causing irreversible
damage to the electrical components related
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
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 service for a long period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►

Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►


Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►


Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
