Practical information
Fitting 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.
 
► Insert the key into the lock  7.
►  Open the lock using the key .
 
 
► Hold the towball 5  firmly in one hand; using 
the other hand, pull and turn the wheel  6 fully in 
a clockwise direction; do not release the wheel.
►
 
Extract the towball from the bottom of its 
carrier 
1.
►
 
Release the wheel; it automatically stops in 
the unlocked position (position  B
).
 
 
► Refit the protective plug 2  to the carrier 1.
►  Stow the towball in its bag away from knocks 
and dirt.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball 
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure 
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the 
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Affix the enclosed label in a clearly visible  location, close to the carrier or in the 
boot.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop for any work on the towball system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid  damaging the roof, it is essential to use 
the transverse bars approved for the vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use 
contained in the guide supplied with the roof 
bars.
Fitting on longitudinal bars 
 
The transverse bars must be fixed at the 
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.

Practical information
The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 
5 litres or more.
If  the AdBlue® tank is completely empty 
– which is confirmed by the message 
"Top up  AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is 
essential to add at least 5 litres.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle 
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling 
road, in an automatic car wash, or being 
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of 
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and 
electric parking brake
  /  
Release procedure
►  With the engine running and while depressing 
the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the 
neutral position.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, switch off 
the ignition.
►  Release the brake pedal, then switch on the 
ignition again.
►  While depressing the brake pedal, press the 
control lever to release the parking brake.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is 
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when 
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the 
affected area with soap and running water. In the 
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse 
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an 
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek 
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning 
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth 
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for 
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot 
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia 
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous 
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of 
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that 
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature 
of the vehicle is above -11
  °C. Otherwise the 
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured 
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area 
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried 
out.
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel 
fuel tank.
If  any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are 
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse 
immediately with cold water or wipe with a 
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a 
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after 
a breakdown because of a lack of 
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 
minutes before switching on the ignition, 
without opening the driver’s door, 
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key 
into the ignition switch, or introducing the 
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting
 
” 
system into the passenger compartment
.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 
seconds before starting the engine.
►
 
Switch off the ignition and remove the key 
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
►
 
With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the 
"
START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
 
 
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►
 
With a container of 
AdBlue
®: after checking 
the expiry date, read the instructions on the 
label carefully before pouring the contents of the 
container
 
into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►
 
With an
 
AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle 
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically 
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
 Add between 10 and 13 litres using 
AdBlue® containers.
–
 Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.

In the event of a breakdown
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb 
of the same type and specification. To avoid 
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
Refitting the lamp units
Perform the operations in the reverse 
order to dismantling.
Light-emitting diode (LED) 
headlamps and lamps
Depending on version, the affected types of 
headlamps / lamps are:
–
 
Full LED technology headlamps.
–
