Exceeding the programmed speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-tor to exceed the programmed speed will have no effect unless the pedal is pressed firmly (passing the point of resistance).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and displays the programmed speed (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
To prevent the mat from be-coming caught under the ped-als:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,- never fit one mat on top of another.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction, the memorised speed is erased, the dashes flash for a few seconds:
Note: the speed also flashes when the speed limiter can-not prevent the vehicle from exceeding the programmed speed (on a steep descent or in the event of sharp acceleration).
To re-activate the limiter, release the accelerator to slow down to a speed below the programmed speed.
A warning light comes on, an audible signal is heard and a message ap-pears on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system consists of proximity sen-sors:
- six in the front bumper,and/or
- four in the rear bumper.It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-cle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-hind the vehicle. However, it cannot detect obstacles located directly under the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, 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.
The proximity of the obstacle is indi-cated by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle approach-es the obstacle,- a graphic on the multifunction dis-play, with blocks which become in-creasingly close to the vehicle.The obstacle is located in relation to the emission of the audible signal by the speakers; that is, front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than approxi-mately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears on the multi-function display.
The system becomes inactive again:
- when you exit reverse gear,- when the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),- at the end of the manoeuvre, when stationary, after a few seconds (front parking assistance only).
Detection zone
To guarantee optimum opera-tion, in bad weather or in win-ter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, frost or snow.
The system is deactivated if the vehicle is stationary for more than 3 seconds.
Detection
The system is activated when:
- reverse gear is engaged,- the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.It is accompanied by an audible signal and/or displaying of the vehicle on the multifunction display.

Deactivation
Press button A to deactivate the sys-tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-dicator light on the button comes on.
Note: this function will be de-activated automatically when a trailer is being towed (vehi-cle fitted with a towbar recom-mended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again to reactivate the system. The indicator light on the but-ton is switched off.
If there is an operating fault, when reverse gear is engaged, the indicator light flashes,accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function display.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-ing driving and trigger a warning in the event of malfunction.
Pressure Check
With the ignition on and the vehicle having been sta-tionary for approximately 15 minutes, and after the engine oil level, this indicator light comes on on the instrument pan-el screen to indicate that the system is measuring the tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes on on the instrument panel screen if all of the tyre pres-sure values measured are correct.
If this indicator light does not appear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-panied by the audible sig-nal and the message on the multi-function display locat-ing the wheel concerned, is followed by illumination of the STOP warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Note: this message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the ve-hicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle, you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection sys-tem is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the need to have the tyre pressure checked regularly (see manufacturer’s label) to ensure that the optimum dynamic per-formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection sys-tem may experience temporary inter-ference due to radioelectric emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system.Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-panied by the audible signal and the message on the multi-function display locating the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is accom-panied by the audible signal and the message on the multi-function display which indicates that under-inflation detection is absent from one (or several) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s).

Cooling systemCHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-tions which keep your vehicle in good working order. Consult the instructions in the PEUGEOT Network, on the In-fotec site or in the servicing booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level, the engine having been off for more than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Important: if you have to re-move/refit the engine style cov-er, handle it with care to avoid damaging the fixing clips.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the intervals specified and the vis-cosity of the oil chosen must meet the requirements laid down in the manu-facturer’s servicing schedule. Consult the instructions in the PEUGEOT Net-work or on the Infotec site.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-longed contact with the skin. Empty the used oil into the containers provid-ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT Network.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-cordance with the recommendations of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfils DOT4 Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fluid is changed at the intervals specified in accordance with the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin, the brake fluid is harmful to health and very corrosive.
Use only the fluid recommend-ed by the manufacturer.
Note: the coolant does not need to be changed.
When the engine is warm, the tem-perature of the coolant is controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can oper-ate with the ignition key removed and because the cooling system is pressu-rised, wait for at least one hour after the engine has stopped before carry-ing out any work.
Slacken the cap to the first notch to release the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-ing. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level with coolant.
The engine fan can operate after the vehicle has stopped.

CHECKS
Have the filter elements re-placed regularly.If you drive in dusty conditions, change them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in par-ticular for vehicles which are used in town, over short dis-tances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even between services.
Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a re-duction in the performance of the system, the handbrake should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by aPEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
To ensure the best perform-ance from components as im-portant as the power steering and the braking system, the manufacturer selects and offers spe-cific products, only use products rec-ommended by PEUGEOT.
To prevent damage to the electrical units, high pressure washing of the en-gine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Power steering fluid level
Use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
 Open the reservoir, with the engine at ambient temperature, the level should always be above the MIN mark, close to the MAX mark.
Particle emission filter - Additive reservoir (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of the particle emission filter and the fill-ing of the additive reservoir are carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer in accord-ance with the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-ing disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
