If the cruise control malfunctions, 
dashes are displayed instead of 
the cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an alert message and an 
audible signal, this confirms the malfunction.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lane positioning assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
Only available on versions with electric 
automatic gearbox (Hybrid).
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen, the system identifies lane markings 
and steers the vehicle inside this lane, keeping it 
in the lateral position chosen by the driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
Conditions for operation

for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the 
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the  ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is 
displayed in green: by small steering actions, 
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the 
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane. 
This position is not necessarily the centre of the 
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering 
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle 
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which 
suspends the function. The driver positions the 
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When 
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is 
appropriate, they maintain it until the function 
is reactivated. The system regains control by 
regulating on the new defined position.

Driving
 
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen and, depending on version, a 
radar located in the front bumper.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver 
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously 
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the 
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a  potential obstacle, it prepares the braking 
circuit in case automatic braking is needed. 
This may cause a slight noise and a slight 
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.

Practical information
7Fitting directly to the roof 
 
You must only attach the transverse bars to 
the four fixing points located on the roof frame. 
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors 
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be 
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Maximum load distributed over the 
transverse roof bars, for a loading height 
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier): 
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the 
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied 
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed 
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to 
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings 
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order 
to comply with the regulations for transporting 
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care 
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close 
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its 
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight 
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each 
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer 
needed.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below 
the roof bars so that it does not impede the 
movements of the sunroof - risk of major 
damage!
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 
when braking.
The 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 specific to  each country on the use of snow chains 
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type 
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/65 R17 9 mm
225/55 R18 9 mm
205/55 R19 9 mm
235/50 R19 Not suitable for 
chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips 
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the 
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►
 
Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of the vehicle.
►
 
Fit the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer
.
►
 
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 
without exceeding 31
  mph (50   km/h).

Practical information
AdBlue® (BlueHDi) 
 
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its 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 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 reserve level is reached: you can then drive 
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated 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 over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated 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!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the 
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and 
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is  less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the 
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when 
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 
the shock absorbers have a major impact on 
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is 
important to have them regularly checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from 
the time the engine is started until it is 
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 
time.
A
 faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 
recommended replacement frequency, stated in 
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 
reached first.

In the event of a breakdown
Warning triangle
As a safety precaution, before leaving your 
vehicle to set up and install the triangle, switch 
on the hazard warning lamps and put on your 
high visibility vest.
Storage compartment 
 
There is a compartment in the interior trim of the 
tailgate to store a warning triangle.
► 
After opening the tailgate, release the cover 
by turning the screw a quarter turn to the left.
Assembling and placing the  triangle
 
 
For versions supplied with a triangle as original 
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly 
instructions provided with the triangle.
►
 
Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle, 
as required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel 
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be 
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is 
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the 
fuel tank.
For more information on  Refuelling and 
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please 
refer to the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system 
components are located in the engine 
compartment, possibly under the removable 
cover.
For more information on the  Engine 
compartment, in particular the location 
of these components under the bonnet, 
please refer to the corresponding section.
