The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer. In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate re-
newal of air in the passenger compartment.

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grille located on the bonnet, the vents and the a ir passages under
the front seats.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to t he purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits).

 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and t herefore improves
towing capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, located
on the left below the steering wheel.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator lamp on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

BONNET
Component which protects and provides
access to the components of the engine
for checking of the various levels.
- At the front, lift the safety catch and raise the bonnet. - Secure the stay to hold the bonnet
open.
Closing
- Put the stay back in its housing.
- Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.
- Check that the bonnet is locked.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-
sary to prime the fuel system:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump, located under the
bonnet under the protective cover,
until fuel appears in the transparent
pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Opening
- Pull the release lever located on the
left, below the dashboard.
When the engine is hot, handle the
safety catch and the bonnet stay with
care (risk of burns).

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level
 Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level.
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the manu-
facturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards.

Note : brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil used must meet the
manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level Avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the con-
tainers intended for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level (circular line).
Use the fl uid recommended by
the manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
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 release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed. For best quality cleaning and to
avoid freezing, this fl uid must
not be topped up or replaced
with water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

CHECKS
Check these components, or have them
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, in ac-
cordance with the servicing booklet and
in relation to your engine.
Battery

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Brake pads
Parking brake
Brake disc/drum wear Oil filter
Manual gearbox
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products of equi-
valent quality and specifi cations.
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements re-
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often. Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particular
for vehicles which are used in
town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to check the thickness
of the pads, even between services.
Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted, even be-
tween services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
For any information relating to
checking the wear of the brake
discs and/or drums, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Change the fi lter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.

This does not require an oil
change. Check the level in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

BATTERY
Operating procedure for recharging
your fl at battery or for starting the en-
gine from another battery.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) termi-
nal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle, as far as
possible from the battery (for exam-
ple, right-hand engine mounting),
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

To charge the battery using a battery
charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connec- tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is not to be used for
a period of more than one month.
- Wait for 2 minutes after switch-
ing off the ignition before dis-
connecting the battery.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without fi rst disconnecting the terminals.
- Close the windows before dis- connecting the battery.
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before start-
ing to allow the electronic sys-
tems to be initialised. If slight
diffi culties are experienced
after this, please consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.

TOWING A TRAILER, A
CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
In the case of vehicles equipped with
an HDI engine, it is recommended that
the engine is left running at idle for ap-
proximately 20 seconds after intensive
use (towing on a motorway, prolonged
driving, ...) before the ignition is switched
off. This limits increases in the tempera-
ture of the engine after it is switched off.

Note: in certain cases of particularly ar-
duous use (towing the maximum load
in high temperatures), the engine lim-
its its power automatically. In this case,
switching off the air conditioning will
regain engine power and therefore in-
crease the towing capacity.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and sign-
alling on the trailer.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
