Restore – RES
To restore the vehicle's programmed speed
(for example after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal):The indicator comes on and the
cruise control function is restored.
F
G
o back gradually to the selected speed
and press RES .
Cancelling the programmed
speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores any
speeds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a certain period of time whilst
keeping a sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

Switching off
F Move from reverse gear into neutral.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel accompanied by
a message in the screen, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reversing camera
If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it is
located at the rear, next to the third brake lamp.
Switching on
The camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9
mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11
mph (18 km/h).
The camera also comes on with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are opened.
Switching off
When a for ward gear is engaged, the last
im age remains displayed for approximately
5
seconds then switches off.
In the same way, the last image also remains
displayed, with the vehicle stationary, when the
rear doors are closed.
With optimum vehicle conditions (position
on the road, loading level) the maximum
area of visibility covered by the camera
has a
field depth approximately 3 m long
and 5.5
m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending
on the external weather conditions
(brightness, rain, snow, fog, etc.), the
load in the vehicle and the position of the
vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the
screen, avoid using a
detergent or a tool
which may scratch the glass.
Use a
non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
It sends images to the screen installed in the
cab.
Activation and deactivation of the system is
done in the settings menu of the touch screen
audio-telematic system.
This rear vision is an aid to manoeuvring. The
reversing camera may be linked with the rear
parking sensors.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about
12 inches (30 centimetres), the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels installed on your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
205/70
R1516
mm
215/ 70

only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a
level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
Check this regularly and top up as
necessary between two oil changes
(the maximum consumption is 0.5
litres
for 620
miles (1,000 km)). Make the
check with the vehicle standing level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Checking using the dipstick
2 marks on the dipstick:
A = MA X

When topping up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the inter vals stated, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark.
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap and
gauge assembly and check the level.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000
rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual 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 necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reser voir. If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be purged to remove
water.
You can also purge the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Purging water from the filterThe HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work must be done by personnel that
have had special training, which can be
ensured by going to 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.
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.
