Invalid value during manual
operation

   Notes
It  is  only  possible  to  change  from
one  gear  to  another  if  the  vehicle
speed  and  engine  speed  permit.  If
they  do  not,  the  vehicle  will  operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
In the event of under-revving or over-

revving, the gear selected l ashes for

a few seconds, then the actual gear
engaged is displayed.
When  the  vehicle  is  stationary  or
moving  very  slowly,  the  gearbox
automatically selects gear  M1 .
Programme   S   (sport)  and      (snow)
do not operate in manual mode.

Operating abnormality

Any operating abnormality
is

indicated

the

displaying of this warning
light, an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display.

In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from  P  to  R  and from  N  to  R
(this  will  not  cause  any  damage  to  the
gearbox).
Do  not  exceed  60  mph  (100  km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

If the battery is l at and the

lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change to
another position.

Above  all,  do  not  force  the  lever
as  there  is  a  risk  of  damage  to  the
automatic gearbox.

This is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly
(selector

between

two

positions).

DRIVING

This  speed  limiter,  of  the  new
generation,  has  a  display  on  the
instrument  panel  to  indicate  the
programmed speed.
It  prevents  exceeding  of  the  vehicle
speed  programmed  by  the  driver.
When  the  programmed  speed  is
reached,  pressing  the  accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The limiter operates with a programmed
speed of at least 18 mph (30 km/h); it
remains active regardless of any action
on the brake and clutch pedals.

  The  operating  actions  must  be
carried out:
   -

when

stationary,

with

the

engine running,

or
-

with the vehicle moving.

When  the  speed  limiter  function  is
active,  pressing  this  button  displays
the distance recorders.
After  a  few  seconds  or  when  this
button  is  pressed  again,  the  display
returns to the speed limiter function.

  Storing a speed
A  speed  can  be  stored  without
activating the limiter.
Press  buttons   2   and   3

briel y to

decrease  or  increase  by  1 mph
(1 km/h).
An  extended  press  decreases  or
increases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A  maintained  press  decreases  or
increases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Selecting the function
 Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT

position.  The  limiter  is  not  yet
active.  By  default,  the  display
indicates:

  Activating/deactivating the limiter

Note:

the speed also l ashes when

the limiter cannot prevent the vehicle
from  exceeding  the  programmed
speed  (on  a  steep  descent,  in  the
event of sharp acceleration).
To  reactivate  the  limiter,  release  the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off
 Place dial 1 in position 0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the
system off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.

Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared,

the dashes l ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

In the event of a steep descent
or sharp acceleration, the
speed limiter will not be able
to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.
In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace  the  need  to  observe  speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance  and  responsibility  on  the
part of the driver.
To  avoid  any  risk  of  jamming  of  the
pedals:
   -

ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly.

- never i t one mat on top of

another.

  Exceeding the programmed
speed
In  exceptional  circumstances,  use
this mode to exceed the programmed
speed.
Pressing  the  accelerator  in  order  to
exceed  the  programmed  speed  will
have  no  effect  unless  you  press  the
pedal

i rmly beyond the point of

resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the speed displayed on the instrument

panel l ashes (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle.

Nevertheless,

cannot

detect  obstacles  located  just  below
the bumper.
An  object,  such  as  a  stake,  a
roadworks  cone  or  any  other  similar
object  may  be  detected  at  the
beginning  of  the  manoeuvre,  but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.
  Note:   this  function  will  be  disarmed
automatically  when  the  vehicle  is
towing  a  trailer  or  when  a  bicycle

carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with

towing  attachment  or  bicycle  carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the  sensors  are  not  covered  with
mud,  frost  or  snow.  When  reverse
gear  is  engaged,  an  audible  signal
(long  bleep)  indicates  that  the
sensors may be dirty.

The  proximity  information  is  given
by:
   -

an audible signal, which becomes
more

rapid

the

vehicle

approaches the obstacle,

a graphic on the multifunction
display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.

Depending

the

multifunction

display,

the

audible

signal

transmitted by a buzzer or by the rear
speakers which transmit:
-

on the right if an obstacle is
detected on the right,

on the left if an obstacle is
detected on the left,

on the right and on the left if an
obstacle is detected in the centre.

When  the  distance  between  the
rear  of  the  vehicle  and  the  obstacle
is  less  than  approximately  thirty
centimetres,

the

audible

signal

becomes

continuous

and

the

"Danger" symbol appears depending
on the multifunction display.

 Change to neutral, the system is

again inactive.

If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompanied

by  an  audible  signal  (short  bleep)
and  a  message  on  the  multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Activation/Deactivation

Activation

The  system  is  activated  as  soon  as
reverse gear is engaged.
This  is  accompanied  by  an  audible
signal  and  displaying  of  the  vehicle,
depending

the

multifunction

display.

The system can be activated
or deactivated from the
multifunction

display

coni guration menu.
The activation and deacti-

vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

There  are  two  marks  on
the dipstick:
  A  = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.
  B  = minimum

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

  Viscosity selection
In  all  cases,  the  oil  selected  must
meet  the  manufacturer’s  require-
ments.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Dipstick

Cooling system

Use the l uid recommended by the

manufacturer.
When  the  engine  is  warm,  the  tem-
perature  of  the  coolant  is  controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with

a particle emission i lter, the fan

can operate after the vehicle has

stopped, even when the engine is

cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after  the  engine  has  stopped  before
carrying out any work.
Slacken  the  cap  by  two  turns  to  re-
lease  the  pressure  to  prevent  any
risk  of  scalding.  When  the  pressure
has  dropped,  remove  the  cap  and
top up the level.

wash level

Diesel additive level (Diesel

with particle emission filter)

If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied  by  a  message  and  an
audible  signal,  this  indicates  a  low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

Brake fluid level

* According to engine.

Oil level

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.

The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.

Power steering reservoir

Remove  the  style  trim *   (see  §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open  the  reservoir,  with  the  engine
at  ambient  temperature.  The  level
should  always  be  above  the  MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.

For  best  quality  cleaning  and
for  your  safety,  we  would  ad-
vise  that  you  use  products
recommended by PEUGEOT.

Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-

hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.

Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s

servicing

schedule.
Use l uids recommended by

the manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4

standards.

CHECKS

Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction  in  the  performance
of  the  system,  the  hand-
brake  should  be  adjusted,

even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Particle emission filter
(Diesel)

It is imperative that the particle emis-

sion i lter is maintained in accordance

with  the  manufacturer’s  servicing
schedule, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
  Note:   following  prolonged  operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle,  you  may,  in  exceptional  cases,
notice  discharges  of  water  vapour
at  the  exhaust  on  acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment.

Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.

Disc and drum wear status

For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance

from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers

quite specii c products.
To  prevent  damage  to  the  electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the  engine  compartment  is  strictly
prohibited .

Oil filter

Used products

Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter

Do not dispose of used oil,

brake l uid or coolant into

drains or onto the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this

purpose in the PEUGEOT network.

Battery

At  the  start  of  winter,  have
your  battery  checked  by  a
PEUGEOT dealer.
