Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
in the boot free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning
system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10
minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad
odours and greasy deposits). F
T o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly
as recommended in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit as soon as possible a
PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop to make
your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide emissions
compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow. At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
the first 1,800
miles (3,000 kilometres) that you
will see the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.

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.

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.

Advice on care
General recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Matt paint
If your vehicle is coated with a clear, matt
varnish, it is essential that you take the
following instructions into account to avoid
damaging the paint, following an inappropriate
treatment. These instructions are also valid for
the alloy wheels coated in a clear, matt varnish.
Textured paint
The textured paint reacts to light with variations
of appearance and finish that emphasise the
car's lines and form. This paint coating has
particles that remain visible and create a
unique satin relief effect. Its lightly granulated
texture gives it a surprising feel.Observe the following recommendations
to avoid damaging the paint finish:
-
N ever clean the vehicle without water.
-

N
ever clean your vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash.
-

N
ever select the program with hot wax
finish.
-

N
ever use a high pressure jet washer
fitted with a brush as this may scratch
the paint sur face.
-

N
ever polish the body or the alloy
wheels. This makes the paint bright.
-

D
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preser vers (wax polish, for example).
These products are only suitable for
bright finishes. Using them on vehicles
finished with matt paint seriously
damages the sur face finish of the
vehicle, resulting in particular in the
appearance of irreversible bright or
stained areas. On the other hand:
-
C hoose a high pressure wash, or at least a
high-flow water jet.
-
R

inse the vehicle with demineralised water.
-

G
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-

C
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the body
using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
-

C
lean off minor marks (for example, finger
marks), using the maintenance product
recommended by PEUGEOT.
It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
