Conditions for operation
– The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 1 12 mph (65 and 180 km/h).
–
The traffic lane must be delimited by a dividing
line.
–
The driver must hold the wheel with both
hands.
–
The change of trajectory must not be
accompanied by operation of the direction
indicators.
–
The ESC system must be activated and not
faulty
.
The system helps the driver only when there is a risk of the vehicle involuntarily
wandering from the lane it is being driven in. It
does not manage the safe driving distance,
the speed of the vehicle or the brakes.
The driver must hold the steering wheel with
both hands in a way that allows control to
be maintained in circumstances where the
system is not able to intervene (for example, if
the dividing line marking disappears).
Operation
Once the system identifies a risk of the vehicle
involuntarily crossing one of the lane markings
detected or a lane limit (e.g. grass border), it
makes the correction to the trajectory necessary
to return the vehicle to its initial path.
The driver will notice a turning movement of the
steering wheel.
This warning lamp flashes during trajectory correction.
The driver can prevent the correction by keeping a firm grip on the wheel (during
an avoiding manoeuvre, for example).
The correction is interrupted if the direction
indicators are operated.
While the direction indicators are on and for
a few seconds after switching them off, the
system considers that any change of trajectory
is voluntary and no correction is triggered during
this period.
If the system detects that the driver is not
holding the wheel firmly enough during
an automatic correction of trajectory, it
interrupts the correction. An alert is triggered
to encourage the driver to take back control of
the vehicle.

"Hold the wheel" –
If, while correcting the trajectory
, the system detects
that the driver has not held the steering wheel for a few
seconds, it interrupts the correction and returns control to
the driver.
– If, while correcting the trajectory , the system determines
that the correction will not be enough and that a solid line
will be crossed (orange line): the driver is warned that they
must provide additional trajectory adjustment.
The duration of audible warnings will increase if multiple
corrections are performed in quick succession. The
warning will become continuous, persisting until the driver
responds.
This message may also be displayed if you have your
hands on the steering wheel.
Operating limits
The system goes into standby automatically in
the following cases:
–
ESC deactivated or operation triggered,
–
speed below 40 mph (65
km/h) or greater than
112 mph (180
km/h),
–
electrical connection of a trailer
,
–
use of the "space-saver" spare wheel detected
(as detection is not immediate, deactivation of
the system is recommended),
–
dynamic driving style detected, pressure on
the brake or accelerator pedal,
–
driving where there are no lane markings,
–
activation of the direction indicators,
– crossing the inside line on a bend,
– driving in a tight corner ,
–
inactivity by the driver detected during
correction.
During a correction, if the driver is
inactive (not holding the steering wheel
for 10 seconds), a warning message appears.
If the driver remains inactive (not holding
the steering wheel for 2 more seconds), the
correction is interrupted.
The following situations may interfere with the operation of the system or
prevent it from working:
–
insufficient contrast between the road
surface and the shoulders (e.g. shade),
–
lane markings worn, hidden (snow
, mud) or
multiple (roadworks, etc.),
–
running close to the vehicle in front (the
lane markings may not be detected),
–
roads that are narrow
, winding, etc.
Risk of undesirable operation
We recommend deactivating the system in the
following driving situations:

Visual assistance
It supplements the audible assistance, without
taking account of the vehicle's trajectory, by
displaying bars on the screen that represent the
distance between the obstacle and the vehicle
(white: more distant obstacles, orange: close
obstacles, red: very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front
parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if the
vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6
mph
(10
km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) locates the obstacle in relation to
the vehicle, in the vehicle trajectory, in front or
behind.
Side parking sensors
Using four additional sensors located on the
sides of the front and rear bumpers, the system
records the position of fixed obstacles during
the manoeuvre and signals them when they are
located by the sides of the vehicle.
Only fixed obstacles are signalled
correctly. Moving obstacles detected at
the beginning of the manoeuvre may be
signalled mistakenly, while moving obstacles
which appear at the sides of the vehicle and
which were not previously recorded will not be
signalled.
The objects memorised during the manoeuvre will no longer be stored after
switching off the ignition.
Deactivation / Activation
Without audio system
► To deactivate or activate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp is lit when the system is

a view of the rear of your vehicle on the
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged. The image
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The
reproduction screen switches off when the
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.

Some objects may not be seen by the
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, lamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced using the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the surroundings, the exterior conditions
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides of
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even
damaged) and not work in the following
situations:
–
Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate
or side-hinged door (depending on version).
–
Attachment of a trailer to the towball.
–
Driving with a door open.
Please note, the camera must not be
obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier,
etc.).

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan
to fill the tank.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle
is suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
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.
Installation tips
► If you have 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 your 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).
►
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size (mm)
195/65 R15 9
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17 cannot be fitted with
chains
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.

Practical information
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks A (max)
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
– above mark A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
– below mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine
and complies with the recommendations in
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and
qualified workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
the contractual warranty in the event of
engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).

The Diesel fuel system operates under
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely
.
►
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.

► Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►
Add more oil if necessary
.
►
After checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
During the 30 minutes after topping up
the oil, the check performed with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when
the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine. The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "
MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top
up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the cap
and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
