warning Peugeot 208 2017 Workshop Manual

121
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If a fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Speed limiter "LIMIT"
The system prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting programmed by
the driver.
Steering mounted controls
1. Speed limiter mode selection / off.
2. Increases the set value.
3. Decreases the set value.
4. Speed limiter On / Pause. The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
of the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return to a
speed below that programmed.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationar y with the engine running or
when driving.
Selection
F Place the thumbwheel at the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode is selected
but is not switched on (PAUSE).
Switching the speed limiter on is not required to
set the speed limit.
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20

mph
(30


km/h).

Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper.
The sensors detect any obstacle which enters
its field of operation (person, vehicle, tree,
fence, etc.) behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre due to the blind spots
between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or pavement
post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of the
system on engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately 30

centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
Display in the screen
The audible signal is supplemented by the
display of bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle. When the
obstacle is very close, the "Danger" symbol is
displayed in the screen.
Stopping the assistance
Change to neutral.
Switching off the assistance
Press; the indicator lamp comes on.
The state of the system is stored when the
vehicle is switched off.
Resuming assistance
Press again; the indicator lamp goes off.
If this warning lamp comes on
when reverse gear is engaged,
accompanied by a message and/or
an audible signal, a fault has been
detected.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Park Assist
The system detects a parking space and then
provides assistance with the parallel parking
manoeuvres.
It controls the steering and provides visual and
audible information to the driver.
The driver manages the accelerator, brakes,
gears and the clutch in the case of a manual
gearbox.
The driver can take control at any time by
gripping the steering wheel.The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain in control of their
vehicle ensuring that the space remains
clear during the manoeuvre.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel per forms rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel, do not put your hands
between the spokes of the steering wheel.
Watch out for any object that could block
the manoeuvre (loose clothing, scar ves,
ties, etc.) – Risk of injury! For entry into a parallel parking space the
system does not detect spaces which are
clearly much smaller or larger than the
size of the vehicle.
The "Parking sensors" function activates
automatically during the manoeuvres, it is
possible that a warning lamp illuminates
on the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, without affecting the parking.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter
tyres, etc.) can inter fere with the correct
operation of the parking assistance
system.
When the Park Assist is active, it prevents
the Stop & Start going into STOP mode.
In STOP mode, activating Park Assist
restarts the engine.
Entering a parallel parking
space
F Once you have detected an available space,
limit the speed of the vehicle to 12 mph
(20


km/h).
F

P
osition your vehicle before this space.
The system provides assistance in entering and
exiting a parking space when parallel parking.

If the system is deactivated during a
manoeuvre, the driver should reactivate it
manually to repeat the measurement.
-

i

f the vehicle cannot be properly positioned
(too many manoeuvres to get the vehicle in
or out),
-

i

f the driver's door is opened,
-

i

f one of the front wheels encounters an
obstacle.
A message is displayed in the screen.
The driver then takes back control of the
vehicle's steering.
Deactivation
The system is switched off automatically:
- w hen towing a trailer,
-

i
f the driver's door is opened,
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph
(70


km/h).
To switch the system off for a prolonged period,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and/or a
message appears on the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal
(short beep).
The indicator lamp flashes for a few seconds. If
the problem occurs while using the system, the
indicator lamp goes off.
These warning lamps indicate a fault
with the power steering.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the dimensions
of the vehicle is not taken into account by
the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by road dirt,
ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

135
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
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 Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, 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).
In the contrary case(hot), add 0.3
bar to
the values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, an audible
signal and, depending on the
equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking. The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not be satisfied with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
F

S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.

Driving

136
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
Without touch screen
F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this button for about
3
seconds then release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
With touch screen
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The guide-me-home lighting can be
configured in the menu Driving /
Vehicle.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- approximately 50
litres (petrol engines).
-


approximately 50
litres (Diesel engines).
-


approximately 45


litres (Diesel BlueHDi
engines).
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 .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the associated section.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may result in an
inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
If you have added the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, the fuel tank must be
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before star ting the engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5

litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
with antifreeze must be used that is appropriate
for the prevailing conditions, in order to
preser ve the elements of the system (pump,
tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue
® and the SCR
system, and in particular topping it up, 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.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 and the precautions
to take before starting 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.
Practical information

151
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the constant
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by an alert message. 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.
For more information on Checking the
levels and particularly on the level of
Diesel additive, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly 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.Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic 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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.

152
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done 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 units
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6 standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases. The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a capacity of around 17 litres. An alert system
is triggered automatically once the reser ve
level is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
emptied completely.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
