Recommendations for heating, 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 located in the back free
from obstructions.
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 have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, 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).
F

T
o ensure the 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. 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 air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
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 can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Topping-up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top-up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in all weather conditions.
Precautions in use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept
in a cool area).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes copiously under running water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. If
a burning sensation or irritation persists, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient
temperature, for example), the risk of release of
ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the
fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre
(half a US gallon) bottles or 5 litre containers
from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

Practical information

145
Coolant level
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top-up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top-up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top-up the level.Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the service warning light, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in the screen
(if a display screen is fitted).
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped-up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of in
the containers made available for this
purpose.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
I
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys.
-

I
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Never try any charge a frozen battery -
Risk of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.

Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different sound
sources, which can generate audible differences
when changing source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-
Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "None"
and set the loudness correction to the "Active"
position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position
in radio mode.
When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble and
bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed ...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
