Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning lamp
will come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this
could damage the emission control and injection systems.

- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on Diesel
vehicles (see "Checks" - "Checking levels / Particle

ALARM *
System which protects and provides a deterrent against theft and
break-ins. It provides the following types of monitoring.


- exterior perimeter

The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a door, the boot, the
bonnet...




- interior volumetric

The system checks for any variation in the volume in the passenger compartment.

The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger
compartment or moves inside the vehicle.




- tilt

The system checks for any change in the attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, moved or knocked.


For all work on the alarm system, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH FULL ALARM
SYSTEM

Activation



)
Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.

)
Press the locking button on the remote control.
The monitoring system is active: the indicator lamp in the button fl ashes
once per second.
After the locking button on the remote control is pressed, the exterior
perimeter monitoring is activated after a delay of 5 seconds and the
interior volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring after a delay of 45 seconds.

Deactivation



)
Press the unlocking button on the remote control.
The alarm system is deactivated: the indicator lamp in the button goes off.



Self-protection function

The system checks for the putting out of service of its
components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central control or the siren
wiring are put out of service or damaged.

* According to country. If an opening (door, boot...) is not closed fully, the vehicle is not
locked but the exterior perimeter monitoring will be activated after
a delay of 45 seconds at the same time as the interior volumetric
and anti-tilt monitoring.

ACTIVE BONNET

Operating fault


The active bonnet has been designed to maximise the safety of
pedestrians in the event of an impact with the front of the vehicle.
The deployment of the active bonnet is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge integrated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After deployment, close the bonnet by pressing on the hinges.
Go to the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop at a
maximum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). This equipment can only operate once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet will
not operate.
After an accident or theft of the vehicle, have the system checked.
Do not handle the pyrotechnic systems, located under the bonnet
near the struts: risk of explosion.
All work on this system is strictly prohibited unless carried out by
skilled personnel of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to
have the system checked. The active bonnet may no longer
be deployed in the event of an impact.

BONNET

OPENING



)
Open the front left door.

)
Pull the interior release lever A
, located at the bottom of the door
aperture.

CLOSING



)
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.

)
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully latched.

)
Push the exterior safety catch B
to the left and raise the bonnet.
The bonnet is held open by the two side struts.
The location of the interior release lever prevents opening of the
bonnet while the front left door is closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety catch with care
(risk of burns).

CHECKS






2 LITRE HDI ENGINE



)
Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of Diesel.

)
Open the bonnet.

If necessary, unclip the style cover for access to the priming pump.

)
Slacken the bleed screw.

)
Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe.

)
Tighten the bleed screw.

)
Operate the starter until the engine starts (if the engine fails to start
at the fi rst attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying again).

)
If the engine fails to start after a few attempts, operate the priming
pump again, then the starter.

Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place, ensuring that
it has clipped correctly.

)
Close the bonnet.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)

If the engine does not start fi rst time, don't keep trying.

CHECKING LEVELS



















OIL LEVEL


The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
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).



If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.


Engine oil change

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control
system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited. It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil
changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.












POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
