roof one by one.
►  Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are 
correctly fitted (by shaking them).
The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any 
risk of injury resulting from an automatic 
change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet  release lever prevents opening the 
bonnet when the left-hand front door is 
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay 
with care (risk of burns), using the protected 
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to 
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy 
conditions.
If a telephone call is in progress at the 
time, it will be maintained for around 10 
minutes using your audio system’s hands-free 
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically reactivated 
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–
 
for less than 10 minutes, to use the equipment 
for approximately 5 minutes,
–
 
for more than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the 
engine in order to charge the battery
.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the  12 V battery, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System that manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain 
functions, such as the air conditioning and the 
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Roof bars / Roof rack
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care 
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close 
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its 
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight 
fastening of the roof bars and racks, at least 
before each trip.
In the event of loading ( not exceeding 
40 cm in height) on the roof, do not 
exceed  the following loads:
–
 
T
ransverse bars on longitudinal bars: 
80
 
kg.
–
 
T
wo transverse bars bolted to the roof: 
100
 
kg.
–
 
Three transverse bars bolted to the roof: 
150
 
kg.
–
 
An aluminium rack:  120
  kg.
–
 
A
 steel rack: 115   kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed 
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to 
avoid damaging the roof bars or the roof rack 
and the fixings on the vehicle.
Refer to national legislation in order to comply 
with the regulations for transporting objects 
that are longer than the vehicle.
 
 
As a safety measure and to avoid  damaging the roof, it is essential to use 
the roof bars and racks approved for your 
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use 
contained in the guide supplied with the roof 
bars and racks.
 
 
To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack, use 
the fixing points provided for this purpose:

Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are 
correctly fitted (by shaking them).
The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any 
risk of injury resulting from an automatic 
change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet  release lever prevents opening the 
bonnet when the left-hand front door is 
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay 
with care (risk of burns), using the protected 
area.

only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the  manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.

again using the dipstick.
►
 
Add more oil if necessary
 .
►
 
After checking the level, carefully refit the oil 
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
During the 30 minutes after topping up 
the oil, the check performed with the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when 
the ignition is switched on is not valid.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
If topping up, clean the cap before 
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid 
from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.
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 low level presents a risk of serious damage to 
the engine. The level of this fluid should be close to the 
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "
MIN” mark, it 
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this 
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, 
wait at least one hour after switching off the 
engine before carrying out any work.
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.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
 
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use 
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid 
containing an agent to prevent freezing must 
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing 
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the 
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).

Practical information
If the warning lamp stays on, this 
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on  Checking levels, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the 
emission of water vapour at the exhaust while 
accelerating. This has no impact on the 
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter 
regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
 or On reaching the minimum level 
in  the particle filter additive tank, 
this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied 
by an audible warning and a message warning 
that the additive level is too low.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on 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 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.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals 
are correctly tightened (versions without quick 
release terminals) and that the connections are 
clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12   V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine 
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
When the particle filter is 
approaching saturation, this 
warning lamp comes on temporarily, 
accompanied by a message warning of the risk 
of filter clogging.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, 
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at 
least 37
 
mph (60   km/h) until the warning lamp 
goes off.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel 
or decreased effectiveness, the parking 
brake must be adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine  servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and 
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road 
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the 
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and 
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the 
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.

Practical information
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is 
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when 
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the 
affected area with soap and running water. In the 
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse 
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an 
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek 
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning 
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth 
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for 
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot 
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia 
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous 
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of 
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that 
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature 
of the vehicle is above -11 °C. Otherwise the 
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured 
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area 
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried 
out.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure  compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles 
with a system that associates SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter 
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains 
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and 
water, which are harmless to health and the 
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
 Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 3,700
  miles (6,000   km), (which 
may vary considerably  depending on your 
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system 
is automatically triggered when the remaining 
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
  km), i.e. once 
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during 
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
  km) before the 
tank is empty and the vehicle blocked.
For more information on the  Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the 
corresponding sections.
Once  the AdBlue® tank is empty, a 
system required by legislation prevents 
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet 
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes 
polluting.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system 
malfunction, it is essential to visit a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. 
After 680 miles (1,100 km), a device is 
automatically activated to prevent the engine 
from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates 
the distance that can be travelled before the 
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below 
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue driving 
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped 
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating 
that the reserve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system 
operates correctly:
–
 
Use 
 only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO 
22241 standard.
–
 
Never 
transfer AdBlue
® to another 
container: it would lose its purity.
–
 
Never 
dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT 
dealer or in a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station  equipped  with AdBlue® pumps specially 
designed for private vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser 
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Storage recommendations
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates 
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a 
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for 
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has 
completely thawed out in the ambient air.
Never  store AdBlue® containers in your 
vehicle.

Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel 
fuel tank.
If  any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are 
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse 
immediately with cold water or wipe with a 
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a 
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after 
a breakdown because of a lack of 
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 
minutes before switching on the ignition, 
without opening the driver’s door, 
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key 
into the ignition switch, or introducing the 
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting
 
” 
system into the passenger compartment
.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 
seconds before starting the engine.
►
 
Switch off the ignition and remove the key 
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
►
 
With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the 
"
START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
 
 
► With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler 
flap open, turn the blue cap of the  AdBlue® tank 
anti-clockwise and remove it.
►
 
With a container of 
AdBlue
®: after checking 
the expiry date, read carefully the instructions 
on the label before pouring the contents of the 
container
 
into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►
 
With an
 
AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle 
and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the 
nozzle.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
 Add between 10 and 13 litres using 
AdBlue® containers.
–
 Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
If  the AdBlue® tank is completely empty 
– which is confirmed by the “Top 
up
 
AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it 
is essential to add at least 5 litres.
After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it 
clockwise, as far as it will go.
►
 
Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or 
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this 
purpose or take them back to where you 
purchased them.

Practical information
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop if you require advice on removing 
stubborn stains requiring special products 
(such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a 
water hose or high-pressure washer to 
clean the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open 
containers can spill, presenting a risk of 
damage if they come into contact with the 
controls in the dashboard and centre console. 
Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or 
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the

Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the 
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 
plastic or rubber parts.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle 
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling 
road, in an automatic car wash, or being 
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of 
gearbox and parking brake.

Advice on care and  maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid 
damaging your vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in 
the engine compartment, due to the risk 
of damaging electrical components.
Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or 
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle at an 
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure 
to lock the doors and, depending on version, 
remove the electronic key.
When using a pressure washer, hold the 
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle 
(particularly when cleaning areas containing 
chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint 
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect 
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the 
vehicle more frequently to remove salty 
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial 
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas). 
These substances can be highly corrosive.
