Driving
6The message "Brake!" is displayed.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level 1 alert is not displayed
when there is a stationary obstacle or
when the "Near " trigger threshold has been
selected.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance (iEBA)
This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency
braking, intervenes following the alerts if the
driver does not react quickly enough and does
not operate the vehicle's brakes.
The system aims to reduce the speed of impact
or avoid a collision where the driver fails to react.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
–
The vehicle's speed does not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
–
The vehicle's speed does not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) when a stationary vehicle or a cyclist
is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
This warning lamp flashes (for approximately 10 seconds) as soon as
the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking bringing the
vehicle to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal
depressed to prevent the vehicle from moving
off again.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.
The driver can maintain control of the vehicle at any time by firmly turning the
steering wheel and/or firmly depressing the
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may vibrate slightly while the function is operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

Zoom view
The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the front of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around obstacles nearby.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to check the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
The parking sensors also supplement the
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
180° view
The 180° view assists with exiting from a parking
space in forward gear, making it possible to
see the approach of vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It consists of 3 areas: left A, centre B and right
C.
This view is available only from the view
selection menu.
Park Assist
Refer to the General recommendations
on the use of driving and
manoeuvring aids.
This system provides active parking
assistance:
it detects a parking space then operates the
steering system to park in this space.
With a manual gearbox, the driver manages the
accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch.
With an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8), the
driver manages the accelerator, brakes and
gears.
During phases of entry into and exit from a
parking space, the system provides visual and
audible information to the driver in order to make
the manoeuvres safe. Several forward and
reverse manoeuvres may be required.
At any time, the driver can take back control by
holding the steering wheel.
The Park Assist system provides assistance for
the following manoeuvres:
A. Entry into a "parallel" parking space
B.Exit from a "parallel" parking space
C. Entry into a "bay" parking space
The Park Assist system cannot operate
with the engine switched off.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts
the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of the steering for a maximum of 4
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned
correctly, take back control to complete the
manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.
The assistance is activated: the display of this symbol and a speed limit
indicate that the steering manoeuvres are
controlled by the system: do not touch the
steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring.

Practical information
7These 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.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede the
movements of the sunroof - risk of major
damage!
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/65 R17 9 mm
225/55 R18 9 mm
205/55 R19 9 mm
Original tyre size Maximum link size
235/50 R19 Not suitable for
chains
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►
Fit the snow 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 the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Diesel fuel system
This system is under very high pressure.
All work 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.
182
Practical information
► Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►
T
op up the level if necessary.
►
After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on
and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the "
MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.
In order 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 pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is
appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing,
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in the
particle filter additive tank, this warning
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an
audible signal and a warning message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried
out quickly.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on the Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi),
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.

Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
184
Practical information
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A
faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 4,000 miles (6,500 km), which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
186
Practical information
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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour 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
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5
minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's door,
unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine. ►
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: insert 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.
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, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
