Wiper control stalk
Programming
Your vehicle may also include some functions
that can be activated/deactivated:
– automatic windscreen wipers,
– rear wiping on engaging reverse gear.
The system will be operational as soon
as you exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
km/h), the
system no longer operates.


Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation are done via the vehicle
configuration menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically . These
indicator lamps come on on the instrument
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
–

if the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam,
–

if the "AUT
O" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to dipped
beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
–

under conditions of poor visibility (snow
,
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty , misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
–

if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–


road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–


vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–


vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

Driving
and from N to R. This will not cause any damage
to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:– if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with the right
foot),
–

if you force the selector from position P

to
another position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position the
selector on N and apply the parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise to
skip one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued by
the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the instrument panel, in the form of an ascending or
descending arrow and the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear;
–


engaging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stopped (red lights,
queues, etc.). The engine restarts automatically
- START mode - as soon as the driver wishes to
move off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury caused by the engine
restarting automatically.
Driving on flooded roads
Before entering into a flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving
recommendations, particularly on flooded
roads, refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivation/Activation

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

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).
► 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.).

steel or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical contact of
each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Some driving aid functions should be
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.

Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
► do not clean them with a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products,
► use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
► when using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the lamps or their edges for
too long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes - risk of
serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification.
Opening the bonnet / Accessing the
bulbs
With the engine warm, proceed with caution -
risk of burns!
