Practical information
7In 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
®
intermediate 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 10
litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
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.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of
damage to the instruments and controls and
the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
To clean instrument panels, touch screens
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these
surfaces - risk of damage! CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
With an automatic gearbox, select mode
P
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition.
Check that the parking brake indicator lamps
on the instrument panel are on fixed.
The occupants must get out of the vehicle
and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a
jack; use an axle stand.
► To remove the wheel bolt cover on each of
the bolts, use tool 7 (alloy wheels).
►
Fit security socket
2 on wheelbrace
5
to
slacken the security bolt.
►
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace
5
only.
Never use an impact wrench on the
security bolt socket.
► Place the foot of jack 6 on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the front A or
rear
B jacking point on the underbody, whichever
is closest to the wheel to be changed.
► Extend jack 6 until its head comes into
contact with jacking point A or B; contact area A
or B on the vehicle must be properly inserted
into the central part of the head of the jack.
►
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground to
easily admit the spare (not punctured) wheel.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse - risk of injury!
Take care to position the jack strictly at
one of the jacking points
A
or B under the
vehicle, ensuring that the head of the jack is
centred under the contact area on the vehicle.
Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the
vehicle and/or of the jack collapsing - risk of
injury!

8Reconnecting the (+) terminal
► Raise lever A fully.
► Refit open clamp B on the (+) terminal.
►
Push clamp
B fully down.
►
Lower lever
A
to lock clamp B.
►
Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the
(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever when pressing on
it, as if the clamp is not positioned
correctly, locking will then not be possible.
Start the procedure again.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
With rechargeable hybrid
engines
The rechargeable hybrid system has two accessory batteries: one at the front and one at
the rear of the vehicle.
Replacing the accessory batteries
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Jump-starting another vehicle
Do not start or jump-start another vehicle
using the vehicle’s accessory batteries.
Accessing the accessory batteries

initialise.
For right-hand drive versions, when the
total distance recorder has reached
62
miles (100 km), you must wait
approximately 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–
Remote control key or electronic key
(depending on version).
–
Sunroof and electric blind.
–
Electric windows.
–
Date and time.
–
Preset radio stations.
After reconnecting the battery, the message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.

In the event of a breakdown
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a\
valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an \
approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
A professional recovery service must be called in the following cases:
– broken down on a motorway or main road;
–
not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or re\
lease the parking brake;
–
not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine\
running;
–
towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–
four-wheel drive vehicle;
–
no approved towbar available.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any intervention, with the ignition
on, depress the brake pedal and select mode N, then switch off the hybrid system (READY
indicator lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of
the vehicle on a flatbed lorry or trailer.Use the towing eye only to free the vehicle
if it is stuck, or to secure it for recovery on a
flatbed lorry or trailer.
