Ease of use and comfort
3This function is activated automatically when the front screenwash is used or
reverse gear is engaged.
Front demisting/defrosting
This mode allows the windscreen and side windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly
as possible.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the mode (confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the
indicator lamp).
The mode automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow, air intake and distributes
ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side
windows.
The air flow can be changed manually without
deactivating this mode.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, STOP mode is not
available.
In wintry conditions, before moving off, it
is essential to remove any snow or ice
from the windscreen around the camera.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment
using the camera may be affected.
Rear screen demisting/
defrosting
This demisting/de-icing only works with the engine running.
Depending on version, it also demists/de-ices
the door mirrors.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the indicator
lamp coming on/switching off).
The function can be activated whatever the outside temperature may be.
The period of operation depends on the outside
temperature.
Demisting/defrosting therefore switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of electrical current.
Heated windscreen

In cold weather, this function heats the entire
windscreen and complements the Automatic
Visibility programme to speed up the evacuation
of elements that interfere with visibility (e.g.
dew, mist, frost, snow), located on either side of the
windscreen.
It can be used both before setting off and while
driving.
Switching on/
off



► With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by an
indicator lamp).
The period of operation depends on the outside
temperature.
The function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive power consumption.
Temperature pre-conditioning
(Rechargeable hybrid or
Electric)
This function allows you to programme the
temperature in the passenger compartment to
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature

76
Lighting and visibility
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3
mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6
mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
Single wipe
If the wiper control stalk is:
► In the INT or AUTO position, pull the stalk
briefly towards you then release it.
►

In the
0 position, press briefly on the stalk
then release it.
Pressing and holding triggers continuous wiping
at the normal wiping speed.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
An additional jet is installed below the
midpoint of the arm on the driver's side.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.
Off
Intermittent wiping
Screenwash-wipe
If the ignition has been switched off with
the rear wiper active, operate the ring to
reactivate wiping when the ignition is switched
on again (unless the ignition was off for less
than 1 minute).
The first rotation of the ring to the screenwash
position triggers a single wipe. If the ring is
then left in the intermittent wiping position, the
rear wiper adopts a wiping speed dependent
on that of the windscreen wipers and the
speed of the vehicle.
Reverse
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing system, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper via the Settings
> Vehicle touch
screen application.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring as far as it will go and hold it in
position.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when screen
washing ends.

78
Lighting and visibility
In winter, wait until the windscreen is
completely clear of ice before activating the
automatic wipers.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the
wipers operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release
the wiper blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

Operating the wiper control stalk immediately
after switching off the ignition will place the wiper
blades in a vertical position.
►
Proceed with the desired operation or the
replacement of the wiper blades.
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position after the operation, switch on the ignition
and operate the wiper control stalk.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/Refitting at the front

► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
►

Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
►

Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products.

Practical information
7Brake 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
For petrol, Diesel, hybrid or rechargeable
hybrid versions
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.
For electric versionsDo not top up the coolant.
If the level is close to or below
the "MIN" mark, it is essential to contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.
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.
