In the event of a fault with the emissions control system SCR
A device preventing the engine from
starting automatically activates after
1,100 km of driving following confirmation
of a fault in the SCR emissions control
system. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible. In the event of the detection of a fault
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the emissions
SCRsystem. or
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the Service and engine diagnostic
warning lights come on and the AdBlue warning
light flashes, accompanied by an audible signal
and the temporary display in the instrument
cluster of "NO START IN" and a distance,
indicating the remaining range expressed in
miles or kilometres before engine starting
is prevented - (e.g.: "NO START IN 600 km"
means "Starting will be prevented in 600 km
(350 miles)").
While driving, this display appears every
30 seconds while the fault with the emissions
SCR system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart the
vehicle. During the permitted driving phase
(between 685 and 0 miles) (1,100 km and 0 km)
or
The AdBlue, Service and engine diagnostic
warning lights come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- m ove to position N to engage neutral,
or
-

eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
For all parking situations, you must apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
In case of immobilization of the vehicle,
engine running, absolutely put the gearbox
in neutral N .
Before working in the engine
compartment, ensure that the gear
selector is in neutral N and the parking
brake is applied.

Opening the bonnet
Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a flooded road, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section. Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault in the system,
the indicator light in the "ECO OFF"
button flashes for a moment, then
illuminates continuously.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. All of the instrument panel
warning lights come on. It is then necessary to
switch the ignition off and to restart the engine
using the 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.
Driving

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.

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
For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section. 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.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
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. Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
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 light
goes off.
If the warning light stays on, this indicates a low
additive level; refer to “Diesel additive level”
section.
or
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning light
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 "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.

Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F
S tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.

disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F

R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
