Successive presses on these
controls adjust the headlamps.

Wiper control stalk
Windscreen wipers
The wiping is active only when the ignition key is
in the ON position.


The control stalk can have 5 different positions:– Wipers off.– Intermittent wiping: 1 notch down. In this
position, by turning the ring, it is possible to
select 4 frequency levels (very slow, slow,
normal, fast).
– Slow continuous wiping: 2 notches down.– Fast continuous wiping: 3 notches down.– Single wipe: pull the control stalk towards the steering wheel.
Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wipe: 1 notch downwards. This is
confirmed by a single wipe. Must be reactivated
after each time the ignition is switched off.
In this position, it is possible to increase the
sensitivity of the rain sensor by turning the ring.
Do not cover the rain sensor, located at
the top centre of the windscreen.
When washing the vehicle, switch off the
ignition or deactivate the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
Check that the windscreen wiper blades
will be able to operate freely when using
in freezing conditions.
Use the footboard, in the lower front panel, to
remove any accumulation of snow at the base of the windscreen and on the blades.
You can change the wiper blades. For more information on Changing
a wiper blade , refer to the corresponding
section.
With Stop & Start, when the windscreen
wiper control is in the fast wiping
position, STOP mode is not available.
Screenwash and headlamp
washers
► Pull the wiper control towards you; the screenwash action will be accompanied by a
timed operation of the wipers.
Depending on version, the headlamp washer
is linked to the screenwash; it is activated if the
dipped beam headlamps are on.
This fluid level should be checked regularly, particularly during winter.
For more information on Checking the levels
and, in particular, on the screenwash / headlamp
washer levels, refer to the corresponding
section.

► 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.

Practical information
A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
In addition to the catalytic converter, this filter
actively contributes to the preservation of
air quality by trapping the unburnt pollutant
particles. Black exhaust fumes are therefore not
emitted.
Operation
This filter, inserted into the exhaust system,
accumulates the carbonaceous particles. The
engine management computer automatically
and periodically manages the removal of
carbonaceous particles (regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
according to the amount of accumulated
particles and the conditions of use of the vehicle.
During this phase, you may notice certain
phenomena - accelerated idling, triggering of
the cooling fan, increased smoke and increased
temperature at the exhaust - which have no
impact on the operation of the vehicle and the
environment.
Screenwash and headlamp
washer fluid
To check the level or top up this fluid on vehicles fitted with headlamp washers,
immobilise the vehicle and switch off the engine.
Reservoir capacity: approximately 5.5 litres.


To access the filler cap, pull the telescopic filler
neck and unclip the cap.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under
all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi),
and in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by 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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections are
clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
