Practical information
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Fitting roof bars
Fitting directly to the roof
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's
doors when they are closed.


Use accessories approved by PEUGEOT
and follow the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting instructions so
as to avoid the risk of damaging the bodywork
(deformation, scratches, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
load, shown in the instructions for the
roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road, to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars

The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one side.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and
the stability of the vehicle may be affected.
On a long journey, check the security of the
load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Bonnet
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.

► Pull the release lever, located at the bottom
of the door frame, towards you.

notice that the washers do not come into
contact with the "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical contact
of each bolt.


► Put the wheel in place on the hub.

After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, first remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type spare
wheel, do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
– Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
– Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
– When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

In the event of a breakdown
8► Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
T
o replace a fuse, it is essential to:
►

Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its
filament.
►


Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have
the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT


dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables and the corresponding diagrams are available
from a PEUGEOT dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.


► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►

Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery

A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery

booster.
►

Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery

B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►

Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point


C
.
►

Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and

the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Drive cautiously during the first 30
minutes after starting the engine.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
