If you stop the vehicle but keep the engine
running, you must always move the gear
selector to the neutral position N.
A continuous audible signal sounds if you
turn the ignition switch to " OFF" while the
vehicle is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear.
If this happens, turn the ignition switch
to " ON ", move the gear selector to the
position N , return it to position E , M or R,
then turn the ignition switch to " OFF".
If the vehicle is on a
slope, use the brake
to stop the vehicle from moving and place
the gear selector to position N , E or R.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, make sure that the gear
selector is in neutral N and the parking
brake is applied.Operating limits
When on a slope or when hill start assist is
a ctivated, never keep the vehicle stationary
using the accelerator: you could damage the
clutch.
In these situations, an audible signal sounds.

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to change gear.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a
higher gear.

Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-
w
hen the vehicle is stationary, you put the
gearbox into neutral and release the clutch
pedal.
Stop & Starttime counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not change features
of the vehicle such as braking, power
steering…
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
traffic stops (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode
– as soon as you want to move off. Restarting
occurs instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary. -

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before
a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.Under-inflation alert
This is shown by the warning lamp
coming on, fixed, accompanied by
an audible signal.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
Detection of loss of pressure does not
always bring about a visible deformation
of the tyre. Do not make do with just
a
visual check.

Fuel tank
The capacity of the tank is about 35 litres.
Low fuel level
When the fuel in the tank reaches
a low level, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning.
The message "LO FUEL" is displayed instead
of the range.
You have about 5
litres of fuel left.
In certain driving conditions and depending on
the engine in your vehicle, your range may be
less than 30
miles (50 km).
If you run out of fuel, the emission
control warning lamp may come on
in the instrument panel. It will go out
automatically after several engine starts.
Refuelling
Refuelling must be done with the engine and
ignition off (ignition switch to " LOCK" or
" OFF "). Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must stop the engine and turn off
the ignition (switch to LOCK or OFF
mode) .
F
P
ull the control on the lower part of the
dashboard, driver's side, to unlock the fuel
filler flap.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap.
A label inside the fuel flap reminds you of the
type of fuel to use.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. F
U
nscrew the cap and place it on its support
(on the flap).
F
I
ntroduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F
K
eep it in this position during the whole
filling operation.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F
S
crew the cap back on again until you hear
a click. When you release the cap, it will
turn slightly in the opposite direction.
F
P
ush the fuel flap to close it.
When filling the tank, do not continue
beyond the 3
rd cut off of the nozzle; this
could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:
Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715001
standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a
dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
165/65
R14 9
mm
165/60
R15

few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50

F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened. For more information on snow chains,
contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When you drive with snow chains, you
should deactivate the lane departure
warning system.

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.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and 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.
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.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
ETG gearbox
The ETG gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
The pressures given 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 more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given 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!
