Service information
When the ignition is turned on and for a few
seconds, the spanner symbolising servicing
information lights up: the display informs you of
the next servicing interval in accordance with the
Manufacturer's servicing schedule.


This information is based on the distance
travelled since the previous service.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level is
then displayed, on a scale of 1 (Min) to 5 (Max).
If no scale is displayed, the oil level is
insufficient; it is essential to top it up to prevent
engine damage.
For the measurement of this level to be valid, the
vehicle must be parked on horizontal ground,
with the engine having been off for more than 30
minutes.
If in doubt, check the oil level using the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.


After a few seconds, the display returns to its
standard functions.
Engine oil quality
This warning lamp flashes and, if your vehicle is equipped with this function, a
message is displayed at each start: the system
has detected a deterioration of the engine oil. It
is essential to change the oil as soon as
possible.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, lights up on the instrument panel if the
oil change has not been carried out, and the
degradation of the oil has exceeded a new
threshold. If this warning lamp comes on at
regular intervals, the oil has to be changed as
soon as possible.
Resetting the service
indicator
A qualified workshop, equipped with the
diagnostic tool, will stop the permanent flashing
of the warning lamp after each service.

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.
Check the engine coolant level regularly.
For more information on Checking
levels, refer to the corresponding section.
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.

only.
Only use approved replacement parts.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or asphyxia, the programmable heating
must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
The additional heating turns off when the
battery voltage is low, to allow the vehicle to
start.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Make sure the fuel gauge
level indicator is not in the reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating when
refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion!
The temperature in the vicinity of the heater
must not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature
(e.g. in the case of oven painting) could
damage electronic circuits components.
The additional heating is equipped with a
thermal limiter which cuts off combustion in
case of engine overheating due to lack of
coolant. Check the level and top-up with fluid,
if necessary.

Malfunction
In the event of a Hill Assist Descent
Control malfunction, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when it
is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiting system
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The driver's seat is fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
On versions with a front passenger airbag, the
passenger's seat is also fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioner and a force limiter.
The front bench seat is fitted with two seat belts.
If you install a front bench seat as an
accessory, it must be fitted with approved
seat belts.
Seat belts not fastened warning lamp
When the vehicle is started, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an
increasing audible signal, if the driver and/or the
front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
This alert works equally well for versions with an
individual passenger front seat as for versions
with a two-seat front bench seat.

62
Safety
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
–


not show signs of tearing or fraying.
–


not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT


dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers.
Airbags

The airbags have been designed to optimise the
safety of the occupants in the event of a serious
collision; they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
–

if there is a violent impact, the airbags deploy
instantly and help better protect occupants of the
vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility
or the possible exit of the occupants.
–


in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are not
deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
smoke and a noise, resulting from activation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful, sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of head and
chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger(s) airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Driving
6Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►

Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►


Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►

Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g.

settings).
►

During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure
the correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk
of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field,
a country lane overgrown with bushes or a
grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system
or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in
the passenger compartment which could
act like a magnifying glass under the effect of
the sun's rays and cause a fire - risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the vehicle unattended,
with the engine running . If you have to
leave your vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and put the gearbox
into neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised. To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle :
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from those
of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as well as in
length, and some obstacles will be more difficult
to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no obstacles
at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest part
placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the maximum
load of the roof bar anchor points. Adhere to
the maximum permissible weight, according to
PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.

70
Driving
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create a
risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the
height and width of the load must remain within
the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent and efficient
way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving allows you to save energy;
accelerate gradually, 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 your vehicle's
electrical systems.


If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►
Check that the depth of the 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.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
When manoeuvring, the driver must always
check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.
At speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h), the
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during
charging to cool the on-board charger.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such
as:
–

T
raction battery relay when starting.
–

V
acuum pump when braking.
–

V
ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–

Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).

71
Driving
6If 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 located 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 activating
the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►

Pay constant 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.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system. It
activates automatically when the key is removed
from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a dialogue
is set up between the key and the electronic
immobiliser.
This warning lamp goes off after the key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Carefully note the key number. In case of
loss, the intervention of a PEUGEOT
dealer will be faster and more efficient if you
provide this number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even in your
pocket, may cause the doors to be unlocked
accidentally.
The simultaneous use of other high-frequency
devices (mobile phones, home alarms, etc.),
may temporarily disturb the operation of the
remote control.
Except for reinitialisation, the remote control
cannot operate while the key is in the ignition
switch, even when the ignition is off.
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency
services to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

72
Driving
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
–

check that you are in possession of the
confidential card,
–


have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT

dealer, to be sure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones that allow the
vehicle to be started.
Confidential card

It is given to you upon delivery of your vehicle
with the duplicate key.
It contains the identification code required for
any intervention by a PEUGEOT dealer on the
electronic engine immobiliser system. This code
is hidden by a film, which is to be removed only
when necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey
however, it is advisable to take this card with you
along with your personal papers.
