The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
Advice
Children at the front
For optimum installation of the forward facing
child seat, ensure that the back of the child
seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's seat, in contact if possible.
You must remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Starting
Gearbox Ignition
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key or the remote control, which would
weigh down on its blade in the ignition
switch and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment
of the front airbag.
The original key contains a coded electronic chip.
When the ignition is switched on, starting is only
possible if the code is detected and recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in.
Electronic engine immobiliser
Keep away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
on acquisition of the vehicle. It will
help in finding the original code for
replacement of the key.

The "ECO" lamp flashes for a few
seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
The system puts the engine temporarily into
standby - STOP mode - during stops in the
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, ...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon
as you want to move off. The restart takes
place 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.

For more advice on driving, particularly
on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start

In some circumstances, such as maintaining
a comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate
Stop & Start.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is on.
This control switches off the Stop & Start
system.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must
be done by a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding
section.
In the event of a fault with the system, the
"ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.
Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Refuelling
To fill the tank safely:
F t he engine must be switched off,
F

o
pen the fuel filler flap 1 ,
F

i
nsert the key in the cap 2 , then turn it to
the left,
F

r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap 3 ,
F

f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
"Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.

F

c
lose the flap.
Diesel
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message
in the screen (if a display screen is
fitted).
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is normal.
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 on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
To p p i n g - u p
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Diesel additive
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Particle filter
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the engine of your vehicle, you must
have the fuel tank drained and filled
with the correct fuel before star ting
the engine.

To p p i n g - u p
If any AdBlue® fluid is split or splashed
on to you, wash immediately with cold
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Precautions to take
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
The AdBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and
odourless.
To be kept in a cool area. After filling the additive tank, observe the
following procedure:
-

S
witch on the ignition without starting.
-

W
ait 10 seconds before starting the engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue®
containers and bottles in the household
waste.
Place them in a special container provided
for this purpose or take them to your dealer.
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and
level surface.
Parking
F Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
In the event of an over flow, wipe around the
filler mouth using a damp cloth.
In wintry conditions, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise, by freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into its
tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer
area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.
