activate the engine pre-heating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in 
the instrument panel, then turn the key to 
position  3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, 
to operate the starter motor until the engine 
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the 
key.
The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, the following 
recommendations should be followed:
–
 
In mild 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 the exterior 
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’
s 
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, 
depending on the cooling requirements.
–
 
In 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  very severe wintry 
conditions  (temperature below -23   °C), to 
ensure correct operation and durability of your 
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine 
and gearbox),  leave the engine running for 
4 minutes before moving off.
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, 
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).
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
