Coolant temperature

If 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.
If the needle enters the red zone or if the
warning lamp lights up:
► stop immediately , turn the ignition off. The cooling fan may continue to run for a while, up to
approximately 10 minutes.
► wait for the engine to cool down to check the level and if necessary, top it up.
In case of topping up
Be careful, the cooling circuit is under pressure!
To avoid any risk of burns, take a cloth and
unscrew the cap two turns to relieve the
pressure.
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 or a qualified
workshop.

AdBlue® fluid ange
indicators
Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched on,
an indicator displays an estimate of the distance
that can be travelled before engine starting is
prevented.
In the event of a simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue
® level, the shortest-range figure is
the one displayed.
In the event of the risk of non-starting
related to a lack ofAdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once theAdBlue
® tank is empty.
Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.
Range between 1,500 and 375 miles (2,400
and 600 km)
Once the 1,500 miles (2,400 km)
threshold is reached, this indicator
flashes, accompanied by a temporary message
indicating the driving autonomy expressed in
miles or kilometres before the starting of the
engine is blocked.
Each time the ignition is switched on, the alert
will be accompanied by an audible signal.
The reserve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as
possible.
Range less than 372 miles (600 km)
Once the 372 miles (600 km) threshold is
reached, this indicator flashes,
accompanied by a message indicating the
driving autonomy expressed in miles or
kilometres before the starting of the engine is
blocked.
The alert will be repeated with update of the
remaining range at each increment of 31 miles
(50 km) travelled.
Each time the ignition is switched on, the alert
will be accompanied by an audible signal.
It is imperative to top up as soon as possible
before the tank empties completely. Otherwise
you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue
®
0 km range reached: the AdBlue® tank is empty.
The regulatory device prevents the engine from
starting.
Unless the AdBlue
® is topped up in the
special additive tank, the vehicle will remain
immobilised.
To be able to restart the engine, you must top up with at least 4 litres of
AdBlue®. You can also call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop for the top-up
required.
For more information on AdBlue®
(BlueHDi engines) and, in particular
topping up, refer to the corresponding section.
In the event of a fault with the SCR
emissions control system
Detection
The self-diagnostic warning lamp comes on.
Every time the ignition is switched on, the
emissions fault is confirmed by an audible signal
and a message.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears
as soon as the exhaust emissions return to the
levels required by the standard.
However, if the warning lamp is still on
after 30 miles (50 km) of driving, the fault
is confirmed.
An engine start prevention system will be
activated automatically after 250 miles (400
km) travelled following this confirmation.
See a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Driving
6Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance so
that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:► check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,► deactivate the Stop & Start function,► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.

► Pull the control located on the side of the dashboard towards you.
On the outside

► Push the lever located above the grille upwards and lift the bonnet.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
When the engine is hot, handle the lever and
the stay with care (risk of burns).


► Unclip the stay and rotate it to insert it into the first slot and then into the second slot.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.
Closing the bonnet
► Before closing the bonnet, replace the stay in its housing.
► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end of its travel. Check the bonnet is locked.

7Topping up the engine oil level

► Remove the dipstick before topping up.► Recover the oil filler neck.► Unscrew the filler cap.► Install the oil filler neck in the filler hole.► Top up with oil.► Remove the oil filler neck from the filler hole.► Replace the filler cap.► Replace the dipstick.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
If topping up, clean the cap before
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid
from a sealed canister.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Unscrew the cap secured to the dipstick. To
access the reservoir cap, remove the protective
cover by turning its three fixing screws a quarter
turn, then remove the second cover placed on
the cap.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark, it
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.


To gain access to the tank cap, remove the
protective cover by turning its three fixing screws
a quarter of a turn.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Check the coolant level regularly
according to the use of your vehicle
(every 3,000 miles (5,000 km) / 3 months).
