Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality
is indicated by the
displaying of this warning
light, an audible signal and
a message on the multi-
function display.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R
(this will not cause any damage to the
gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the battery is l at and the
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change to
another position.
Above all, do not force the lever
as there is a risk of damage to the
automatic gearbox.

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a
roadworks cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is i tted (vehicle i tted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. When reverse
gear is engaged, an audible signal
(long bleep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty. The proximity information is given
by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the multifunction display, with blocks which become
progressively closer to the vehicle.
Depending on the multifunction
display, the audible signal is
transmitted by a buzzer or by the rear
speakers which transmit:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and on the left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous and the
"Danger" symbol appears depending
on the multifunction display.
 Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
If there is an operating
fault, when reverse gear is
engaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal (short bleep)
and a message on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the multifunction
display. The system can be activated
or deactivated from the
multifunction display
coni guration menu.
The activation and deacti-
vation of the system are memorised
when the engine is switched off.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.


Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use l uids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4
standards.

10PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the
braking distance.
Lights: check the electrical
signalling on the trailer.
Side wind: take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
TOWING A TRAILER, A
CARAVAN, A BOAT, ETC...
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the i tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not i tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is i tted using the electrical
pre-equipment located at the rear of
the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signii cant
stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a towbar is i tted.
