The characteristic noise of operation confirms
the application of the electric parking brake. Full release of the parking brake is confirmed
by:
When stationary, with the engine running, do
not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily,
as you may release the parking brake.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake indicator lamp is on in the
instrument panel.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on the control lever
A,
until you see the message "Parking brake
applied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
-

i
n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
-

w
hen the gradient you are parked on is
variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a
lorry, during towing).
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer. -

It is only possible to change from one gear to
another if the vehicle speed and engine speed
permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.

Deactivation
Operating fault Reactivation
F Press button A, the warning lamp comes
on, the system is fully deactivated. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep),
when reverse gear is engaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills,
...) may trigger the parking sensor
audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated
automatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted
(vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle
carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).F

P
ress button A again, the warning lamp

PERFORMANCE
!
Innovation, the key to success
The TOTAL Research and Development and
PEUGEOT teams work together to develop high
quality lubricants that meet the requirements
of PEUGEOT vehicles. For you, this is the
assurance that the performance of your engine
is optimised while also ensuring its durability.
The 208 HYbrid FE demonstrates the ability of
PEUGEOT and TOTAL to develop innovative
technologies and provide other ways of moving
towards the future.
208 HYbrid FE, a technology demonstrator with exceptional characteristics:
1.9 l/100 km (148.7 mpg) and 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8 seconds.
Reduced exhaust emissions,
a true reality
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise the
efficiency of engines and the protection of the
emissions post-treatment systems. It is important
to observe the servicing recommendations
made by PEUGEOT to assure correct operation.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen. When the lamp first
comes on, there is approximately 6 litres of
fuel remaining.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. When driving, this
audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency, as the fuel level drops
towards "0" .
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is put back on the
tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an inrush
of air. This vacuum, which is completely
normal, is caused by the sealing of the
fuel system.
You must refuel to avoid running out of
fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section. A label affixed to the inside of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used
according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Brake disc wear 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 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.
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking
brake
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.

Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Access to the kit
(5-seat version)
The kit is stowed in the boot under the
concertina board. The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory.
