Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any 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.
Carry out this check in particular: - before a long journey, - at each change of season, - after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:  If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.  Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
 The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly.  If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

176Driving
AUTO and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel screen.
Sequential mode
AUTO disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument panel screen.
The gear change requests are only carried out if the engine speed permits. It is not necessary to release the accelerator during gear changes. When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically to allow vehicle to pull away in the correct gear.
 When the vehicle has moved off, select position M to change to sequential mode.
If position R , A or M is selected, even
with the engine at idle, if the brakes are released the vehicle moves without any action on the accelerator. Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle when the engine is running. When carrying out maintenance on the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position N . On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will not change up unless the driver acts on the gear lever or the steering mounted paddles. Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised with the brake pedal pressed.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is requested, this will only be taken into account when the vehicle is immobilised. The Foot on brake warning lamp may flash in the instrument panel to prompt you to brake. At high speed, if reverse gear is requested, the N indicator lamp will flash and the gearbox will change to neutral automatically. To engage a gear again, return the lever to position A or A or AM .

180Driving
Moving off
 With your foot on the brake, select position P or N .  Start the engine. If this procedure is not followed, there is an audible signal, accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen.  With the engine running, press the brake pedal.  Release the parking brake, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.  Select position R , D or M ,  Gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off immediately.
Automatic operation
 Select position D for automatic changing of the six gears. The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the style of driving, the profile of the road and the load in the vehicle. For maximum acceleration without touching the lever, press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down automatically or maintains the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached. On braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide efficient engine braking. If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.
When the engine is running at idle, with
the brakes released, if position R , D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle without supervision. When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P . P . P
If position N is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then engage position D to accelerate.
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.

Driving
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again. The system is active again; this is confirmed by the switch warning lamp going off and a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the vehicle may stall: all the instrument panel warning lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special specification and technology (reference numbers available from PEUGEOT dealers). Fitting a battery not listed by PEUGEOT introduces the risk of malfunction of the system. To charge the battery, use a 12 V charger and observe the polarity.
The system is reactivated automatically at every new start using the key.
The Stop & Start system makes use of advanced technology. For any work on the system go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment required, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.

Checks
196
Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
A = MA X
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
B = MIN
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).
Checking using the dipstick
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely. - Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth. - Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A
and B .

Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
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.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture. - Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire). - Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick. - Add more oil if necessary. - After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
Oil grade The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record 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.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record 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 . if necessary . 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.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
12 V battery The battery does not require any
maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
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.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multi-function screen. 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.

Brake disc wear
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.
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the level checking interval for this component.
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
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.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
