Driving
This assistance is only provided if the driver 
presses the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake 
 
This function, also called "automatic emergency 
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the 
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly 
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of 
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to 
react.
Below a speed of 19 mph (30 km/h), 
automatic emergency braking may slow 
down the vehicle to a complete stop.
Otherwise, for versions with camera only
, the 
speed may be reduced by a maximum of 16 
mph (25
  km/h).
For versions with camera and radar, the 
speed reduction may be extended to 31 mph 
(50
 
km/h), if both sensors are able to detect 
the thread.
Operation
The system operates subject to the following 
conditions:
–
 
At reduced speed in an urban environment, 
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or 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.
During the flashing time, the function is not 
available.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking, keep the brake 
pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is 
reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
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 override the automatic  emergency braking at any time by 
strongly turning the steering wheel (evasive 
manoeuver) and/or by firmly pressing the 
accelerator pedal.
The brake pedal may feel hard and  vibrate slightly while the function is 
operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 
2
 
seconds.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically activated 
at every engine start.
The settings are changed via the  vehicle configuration menu.
Deactivation of the system is signalled by 
the illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Malfunction
This warning lamp lights up on the  instrument panel, if the automatic braking 
system is reduced or degraded.
This is a normal behavior, which does not 
request the support of a qualified workshop.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
6This may be caused by a reduced visibility 
(e.g.  rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by 
a real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the 
vehicle and verify if the front camera or the front 
radar is covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything 
preventing the sensing.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp lights up on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If these warning lamps come on after the 
engine has been switched off and then 
restarted, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system checked.
These warning lamps light up on  the instrument panel and/or in the 
warning lamp display for seat belts and front 
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's 
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened 
(depending on version). The automatic braking 
system is deactivated until the seat belts are 
fastened.
Lane departure warning
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This system, using a camera which recognises 
solid or broken lines, detects the involuntary 
crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on 
the ground.
If the direction indicator is not used at speeds 
above 50 mph (80
  km/h) and there is a risk of 
one of these lines on the road surface being 
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
This system is particularly useful on motorways 
and main roads.
 
 
Detection - Alert
You are alerted by the flashing of this  warning lamp in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
No warning is transmitted while the 
direction indicator is active and for 
approximately 20 seconds after the direction 
indicator is switched off.
Activation/Deactivation

Driving
Detection may be impeded:
– If the markings on the ground are worn 
and not clearly contrasted against the road 
surface.
–
 
If the windscreen is dirty
 .
–
 
In certain extreme weather conditions: 
fog, heavy rain, snow
, shade, bright sunlight 
or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun, 
leaving a tunnel).
Distraction detection
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
Depending on version, the function consists of 
either the "Driver Attention Warning" system 
alone or combined with the "Driver Attention 
Warning by Camera" system.
These systems are in no way designed  to keep the driver awake or to prevent 
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel. 
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling 
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least 
every 2 hours.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the vehicle  configuration menu.
The function is activated by default when the 
ignition is switched on.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert when it detects that the driver has not taken a 
break after two hours of driving at a speed above 
43 mph (70
  km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message 
encouraging the driver to take a break, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert 
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following 
conditions is met:
–
 
With the engine running, the vehicle has been 
stationary for more than 15 minutes.
–
 
The ignition has been switched off for a few 
minutes.
–
 
The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their 
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle  drops below 43   mph (70   km/h), the 
system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once 
the speed reaches above 43
  mph (70   km/h).
Driver Attention Warning by 
Camera
Depending on version, the Driver Attention 
Warning system may be combined with the 
Driver Attention Warning by Camera system.
 
 
The system assesses the driver's level of alertness, fatigue and distraction by 
identifying trajectory changes in relation to the 
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on 
the upper part of the windscreen.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads 
(speed higher than 43 mph (70
  km/h)).
At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the 
message "Be vigilant!", accompanied by an 
audible signal.
After three first-level alerts, the system triggers 
a further alert with the message " Dangerous 
driving: take a break", accompanied by a more 
pronounced audible signal.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (e.g.   pure or diluted vegetable or animal 
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk 
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised  for use are those that meet the B715000 
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50
  % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, 
one of these warning lamps lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the 
display of a message and an audible signal. 
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel 
remain.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out of fuel.
For more information on  Running out of fuel 
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp  indicates which side of the vehicle the 
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to 
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused 
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and 
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Start.
 
 
► Open the fuel filler flap.    CarM an uals 2 .c o m

procedure without pausing it, until it ends 
automatically. Charging can be either immediate 
or deferred (except fast public charger, mode 4).
You can stop domestic or accelerated charging 
at any time by unlocking the vehicle and 
removing the nozzle. For superfast charging, 
refer to the fast public charger.
For more information on the charging displays 
on the Instrument panel and the Touch screen, 
refer to the corresponding section.
It is also possible to monitor the charging 
progress using the MYPEUGEOT APP 
application.
For more information on  Remotely 
operable additional functions , refer to the 
corresponding section.
As a safety measure, the engine will not  start if the charging cable is plugged into 
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is 
displayed on the instrument panel.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan in the engine 
compartment comes on during charging to 
cool the on-board charger and the traction 
battery.
Low charging / Driving
Driving when the charge level of the 
traction battery is too low can lead to the 
vehicle breaking down and can lead to 
accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make 
sure the traction battery has a sufficient 
charge level.
Low charging / Parking
If the outside temperature is negative, 
it is recommended not to park your vehicle 
outside for several hours at a low charging 
(less than 20%).
Vehicle in storage for more than 
1   month
In the event of a long period of non-use of 
the vehicle (beyond 4
  weeks) without the 
possibility of charging when restarting, the 
self-discharge may make it impossible to 
restart if the traction battery charge level 
is a low or very low, especially at negative 
ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure 
that the traction battery has a charge between 
20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your 
vehicle for several weeks.
Do not connect the charging cable.
Always park the vehicle in a place with 
temperatures between -10°C and 30°C 
(parking in a place with extreme temperatures 
can damage the traction battery).
Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal 
of the accessory battery in the engine 
compartment.
Connect a 12 V battery charger to the (+) 
and (-) terminals of the accessory battery 
about every 3 months in order to recharge the 
accessory battery and maintain an operating 
voltage.

electrical system to be used complies with 
applicable standards and is compatible with 
the vehicle.
►
 
Have a professional electrician install 
a dedicated domestic power socket or 
accelerated charging unit (W
allbox) 
compatible with the vehicle.
You should preferably use the charging cable 
available as an accessory.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
During charging
While charging is in progress, unlocking 
the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings 
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the 
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and 
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
–
 
Some areas remain very hot, even an hour 
after charging ends - risk of burns!
–
 
The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts 
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the 
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit 
or electrocution in the event of contact with or 
immersion in water!
For superfast charging
Before charging
Check that the fast public charging 
station and its charging cable are compatible 
with the vehicle.
If the exterior temperature is below:
–
 
0°C, charging times may be extended.
–
 
-20°C, charging is still possible, but 
charging times may be extended even further 
(the battery has to be heated first).

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 traffic conditions allow, regenerate 
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
  mph 
(60
  km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500 
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp 
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
  mph (60   km/h), 
leave the engine running at idle for about 15 
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above 
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter 
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 
stationary is not recommended.
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.
