   Instruments and controls   
 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.

IN-CAR TECHNOLOGY
   Parking assistance   
 AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE 
 The audible system consists of four  
proximity sensors, installed in the rear 
bumper. 
 It detects any obstacle which enters the 
field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind the 
vehicle during the manoeuvre. 
 However, it will not be able to detect obstacles 
located immediately 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 moves close to it.  When the distance between the rear of 
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible 
signal becomes continuous. 
 This function will be deactivated 
automatically if a trailer is being towed. 
You are advised to obtain a towbar 
recommended by  PEUGEOT  and have it 
installed by a professional. 
 If anomalies are detected on engaging 
reverse gear, the warning light comes on, 
possibly accompanied by a message on the 
display.    Stop the assistance 
 Change to neutral.  
  Operating fault 
   If this warning light or the service  
warning light comes on on the 
instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message on the display, 
contact a  PEUGEOT  dealer.  
  Good practice 
 In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the  
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow.    Engage reverse gear 
 The proximity information is indicated by an  
audible signal which becomes more rapid as 
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

ERGONOMICS and COMFORT
   Practical information   
 INTERIOR LIGHTING 
  Front courtesy light 
 This is located in the centre of the roof.  
 It can be activated by: 
   -   tilting the lens,  
  -   opening or closing a door, 
  -   locking or unlocking the vehicle.  
 It switches off automatically, after a few  
minutes, if the doors remain open, or when 
the ignition is switched on. 
 The courtesy light may be fitted with an 
alarm sensor, a microphone for the 
hands-free kit and reading lights. 
 The reading lights have right-hand and 
left-hand switches.  
  Rear lighting 
 This is located on the upper part of the rear  
right side. 
 Press the courtesy light lens to switch it on 
or off. 
 It comes on automatically when a door is 
opened.  
  Good practice 
 It switches off automatically:  
   -   if the switch is not pressed down,  
  -   in all cases within approximately15 minutes if the doors remain open, 
  -   when the ignition is switched on.

   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). 
 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.  
  
Distribution of loads   
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest objects are as close as possible 
to the axle and the nose weight is close to 
the maximum authorised without, however, 
exceeding it. The air density decreases with 
altitude, so reducing the performance of 
the engine. The maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres 
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data" 
chapter for details of the weights and 
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and 
also to the administrative documents (V5 
registration document, ...).
