 FUEL GAUGE 
 The fuel level is tested each time the key is  
turned to the "running" position. 
 The gauge is positioned on: 
   -    F (Full):   the capacity of the fuel tank is 
approximately   45 litres . 
  -     E (Empty):   the reserve is now being 
used, the warning light comes on 
continuously.  
 The reserve when the warning first comes 
on is approximately 6 litres. 
  COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
  
The needle is positioned between  
C (Cold) and H (Hot):   normal operation. 
 In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic 
conditions, the needle may move close to 
the red graduations.    -   wait approximately 15 minutes to allow 
the engine to cool down in order to check 
the level and top it up if necessary. The 
cooling system is pressurised. In order to 
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap 
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.  
 When the pressure has dropped, check the 
level and remove the cap to top up. 
 If the needle remains in the red zone, 
contact a  PEUGEOT dealer . 
 Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 7.     Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 7.  
   
What you should do if the needle 
enters the red zone, or if the warning 
light comes on:   
   -   stop immediately, switch off the ignition.  The fan may continue to operate for 
a certain time up to approximately 
10 minutes. EMISSION CONTROL
 EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is  
a diagnostics system which complies with, 
among others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   -   CO (carbon monoxide),  
  -   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
  -   NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles  detected by oxygen sensors placed  
upstream and downstream of the catalytic 
converters.  
Therefore, the driver is warned of 
any malfunction of this emission 
control system by the flashing of 
this specific warning light on the 
instrument panel.

  SERVICE INDICATOR 
 The display on the instrument panel  
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the "Manufacturer ’s" 
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing 
booklet. This information is determined in 
relation to the distance travelled since the 
previous service.    You are warned by flashing of the  
engine oil pressure warning light 
and the displaying of a message 
on the instrument panel each time 
the vehicle is started. 
    
In this case, your vehicle must be 
serviced as soon as possible.    
 LIGHTING RHEOSTAT 
 The rheostat is active when the lights are on. 
 Refer to the list of checks in the  
servicing booklet which was given to 
you on delivery of the vehicle. 
 After a few seconds, the display returns to 
its usual functions.    Use the + and - controls to 
change the brightness of the 
instrument panel lighting.

    Gearbox and steering wheel    
  Stopping - Starting on a slope 
 This gearbox is a piloted manual gearbox  
which does not have a clutch pedal. 
  
Do not use the accelerator pedal to 
immobilise the vehicle on a slope, apply 
the handbrake instead.   
  When moving off on a slope, accelerate 
gradually while releasing the 
handbrake.  
  Switching to sequential mode 
 Once you have moved off, you can switch to  
sequential mode by selecting position   M . 
  
"AUTO"   disappears and the 
gears engaged appear in 
succession on the instrument 
panel display. 
 The gear change requests are only carried 
out if the engine speed permits it. 
 Take your foot off the accelerator pedal 
gently to engage the gear. 
 At low speeds, when approaching a stop 
or traffic lights for example, the gearbox 
changes down to first gear automatically.  
  Switching to automated mode 
 After using the sequential mode, you can  
return to the automated mode by selecting 
position   A .    
"AUTO"   and the gear engaged 
appear on the instrument panel 
display. 
 The gearbox then operates in 
auto-active mode, without any action on the 
part of the driver. 
 It continuously selects the gear most suited 
to the following parameters: 
   -   driving style,  
  -   road characteristics, 
  -   vehicle load.  
 To optimise driving comfort and obtain the  
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in 
the pressure on the accelerator pedal. 
 If you press the accelerator pedal beyond 
the point of resistance, the gearbox 
selects the gear below to permit sharper 
acceleration.  
  Stopping the vehicle 
 Before switching off the engine, you can:  
   -   move to position   N  to leave the gearbox 
in neutral. 
  -   leave a gear engaged, such as first or  reverse.  
 In both cases, it is imperative that you apply 
the handbrake to immobilise the vehicle.  
  Reinitialisation 
 Following disconnection of the battery, the  
gearbox must be reinitialised: 
   -   switch on the ignition,   "AUTO"  appears 
on the instrument panel display, 
  -   press the brake pedal,  
  -   wait approximately 30 seconds until   "N"  
or a gear appears on the instrument  
panel display, 
  -   release the brake pedal.   
 The gearbox is operational again.  
  Operating anomaly 
 With the ignition on, the flashing  
of   "AUTO"   and lighting of this 
warning light, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
on the instrument panel display, indicate a 
gearbox malfunction. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.    The brake pedal must be pressed while 
starting the engine. 
 Never select neutral   N  while the vehicle is 
moving. 
 Only engage reverse gear   R  with the vehicle 
immobilised and the brake pedal pressed. 
 In all cases, it is imperative that you apply 
the handbrake in order to immobilise the 
vehicle. 
 On a steep gradient, it is preferable to 
switch to sequential mode.

   Towing a trailer   
  In certain cases of particularly arduous  
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered. 
 If the coolant temperature 
warning light comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible. 
 See the "Levels" section of chapter 7. 
  
Tyres:   check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identification 
features" section of chapter 7) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressure.  
  
Brakes:   towing increases the braking 
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,  
change down early and brake gradually.    
Side wind:   sensitivity to side wind is 
increased. Drive smoothly and at a 
moderate speed.  
  
ABS:   the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer. 
  
Rear parking assistance:   the 
assistance will be deactivated 
automatically when an original  PEUGEOT   
towbar is used (see the "Rear parking 
assistance" section of chapter 4). 
  Towbar 
 We recommend the use of original  
 PEUGEOT  towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle, and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a 
 PEUGEOT dealer . 
 If this equipment is not fitted by a  PEUGEOT 
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using 
the electrical pre-equipment located at the 
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the 
manufacturer ’s instructions. 
 The operation of the sensors is deactivated 
automatically when the pin of the trailer 
cable is inserted in the towbar socket. 
 When the trailer cable pin is removed, the 
sensors are re-activated.
