Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code and remain vigilant 
whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your 
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to 
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only 
carry out any operations that require close 
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is 
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the 
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage 
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the 
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied 
– risk of overheating and damage to the 
braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine 
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where 
substances and combustible materials 
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system – Risk 
of fire!Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with 
the engine running. If you have to leave 
your vehicle with the engine running, apply 
the parking brake and put the gearbox into 
neutral or position N or P
, depending on 
the type of gearbox.
In case of towing
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-  c heck that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15
  cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users,
-
 
d
 eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
 
d
 rive as slowly as possible without stalling. 
Under no circumstances exceed 6
  mph 
(10
 
km/h),
-
 
d
 o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as 
circumstances allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop. Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity 
to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling 
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
 
T
 o lower the engine speed, reduce your 
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline 
depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.

Screenwash fluid level
For optimal cleaning quality and safety, we 
recommend that you use the PEUGEOT range 
of products.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, 
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced 
with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reser voir: 
approximately 3
 
litres.
Diesel additive level (Diesel 
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by 
illumination of the Ser vice warning 
lamp, accompanied by an audible 
warning and a message on the screen.
If the message is still displayed and the Ser vice  
warning lamp remains lit, consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
To p p i n g  u p
This additive must be topped up without delay 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks
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.
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.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style 
of driving, particularly in the case 
of vehicles used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle 
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in 
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake 
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking 
brake disc/drum wear, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of 
effectiveness of this system is 
noticed, the parking brake must 
be checked, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Once the engine is started, this signals that 
the particle filter is starting to saturate (in 
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally long 
duration: low speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, you are advised to 
drive as soon as possible, as traffic conditions 
allow, at a speed of at least 37
 
mph (around 
60
 
km/h) for at least five minutes (until the 
Ser vice warning lamp goes off and the 
message disappears).
Relay noises may be heard under the 
dashboard during regeneration of the particle 
f i l t e r. At the start of winter, have your battery checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi 
engines)
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains 
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% 
of nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and 
water, which are harmless to health and the 
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with 
a capacity of around 17   litres. An alert system 
is triggered automatically once the reser ve 
level is reached: you can then drive for a further 
1,500
 
miles (2,400   km) before the tank is 
emptied completely.
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles 
with a system that associates SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter 
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system 
r
equired by regulations prevents starting 
of the engine.
If the SCR
 
system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from your vehicle will no longer 
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle 
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the 
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon 
as possible: after a running distance of 
685
 
miles (1,100
 
km), a system will be 
triggered automatically to prevent engine 
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you 
the distance you can travel before the 
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or 
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency 
may be reduced. Make light brake 
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
