Practical information
7Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60

km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about 15
minutes, then drive with an engine speed
above
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m

170
Practical information
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.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A
faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic CarM an uals 2 .c o m

172
Practical information
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5
minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's door,
unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
► Press the " START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.


► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►

With a container of

AdBlue
®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
►
With an
AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and
fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts
out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue® containers.
–
Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
®
intermediate top-ups of 5

litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible ” – it is
essential to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.

To release them
► With the engine running and while depressing
the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the
neutral position.
►

While depressing the brake pedal, switch off
the ignition.
►


Release the brake pedal, then switch on the
ignition again.
►


While depressing the brake pedal, press the
control lever to release the parking brake. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
8Frozen battery
Never try to 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 verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which could lead to a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Symbols
No sparks or naked flames, no smoking.
Always protect your eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness and injury.
Keep the vehicle's battery out of the reach
of children.
The vehicle's battery contains sulphuric acid which can make you go blind or
cause severe burns.
For more information, refer to the
handbook.
Explosive gases can be present close to
the battery.
With petrol/Diesel engines
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever
, then the external safety catch.
►

Raise the bonnet.
(+)

Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located near
the battery.
Starting using another battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
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
B or of the
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). CarM an uals 2 .c o m
