Access
For more information on Reinitialising the 
remote control, refer to the corresponding 
section.
Do not throw remote control batteries 
away, as they contain metals that are 
harmful to the environment. Take them to an 
approved disposal point.
Reinitialising the remote 
control
Following replacement of the battery or in 
the event of a fault, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the remote control.
Without Keyless Entry and Starting 
 
► Switch off the ignition.
►  Return the key to position  2 (Ignition on).
►
 
Immediately press the closed padlock button 
for a few seconds. ►
 
Switch off the ignition and remove the key 
from the switch.
The remote control is now fully operational 
again.
With Keyless Entry and Starting 
 
► Insert the mechanical key (incorporated into 
the remote control) into the lock to open the 
vehicle.
►
 
Place the electronic key against the back-up 
reader on the steering column and hold it there 
until the ignition is switched on.
►
 
Switch on the ignition by pressing the 
"
START/STOP" button.

P, depress the brake pedal.
If the fault persists after reinitialisation, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay.
Alarm
(Depending on version) 
 
 
 
System which protects and provides a deterrent 
against theft and break-ins.
Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a 
door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring
The system checks for any variation in volume in 
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
Anti-tilt monitoring
The system checks for any change in the attitude 
of the vehicle.
The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or 
moved.
When the vehicle is parked, the alarm 
will not be triggered if the vehicle is 
knocked.
Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out of service 
of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central 
control or the siren wiring is put out of service or 
damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Locking the vehicle with full 
alarm system
Activation
►  Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
►  Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the 
remote control or with the “Keyless Entry and 
Starting” system.
When the monitoring system is active, the red 
indicator lamp in the button flashes once per 
second and the direction indicators come on for 
about 2 seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated 
after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric and 
anti-tilt monitoring after 45 seconds.

Practical information
7For more information on the Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
For more information on  AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals 
are correctly tightened (versions without quick 
release terminals) and that the connections are 
clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12   V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
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 this warning lamp, 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.
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.
New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration 
operations may be accompanied by a 
"burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.   

213
In the event of a breakdown
8approximately 15 minutes before starting the 
engine.
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).
–
 
Sunroof and electric sun blind.
–
 
Electric windows.
–
 
Date and time.
–
 
Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the  “Collision risk detection system fault” 
message is displayed on the instrument panel 
when the ignition is switched on. This 
operation is perfectly normal. The message 
will disappear while driving. 
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).
Accessories batteries  (Hybrid)
The hybrid system has two accessory batteries: 
one at the front and one at the rear of the 
vehicle.
The batteries contain harmful substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance 
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 batteries.
All operations on the batteries must be 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.
For the replacement of batteries,
  contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Accessing the batteries
