A. Locked position; the locking wheel is in contact with the towball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position; the locking wheel is no longer in contact with the towball (gap of
around 5 mm).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked,
verifying the follow points:
–

the green mark on the wheel is in line with
the green mark on the towball,
–


the wheel is in contact with the towball,
–


the key lock is closed and the key removed;
the wheel can no longer be operated,
– the towball must not be able to move in its
carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight - GVW), the trailer, or the sum of the
two (the Gross Train Weight - GTW).
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a
towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the
carrier. This measure applies particularly where
the towball might obscure visibility of the number

7Roof-mounted carrying
systems


For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is imperative to use a carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) approved for the vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted on H1 or H2 height
versions of vans, combis and minibuses. On
minibuses, check the presence of a roof air
conditioning unit.
The carrying device must be fixed to the
anchorage points on the roof of the vehicle: 6,
8 or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the
vehicle.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with the
carrying device.
Maximum roof load, evenly distributed:
150 kg, for all versions, within the limits
of the gross vehicle weight (GVW).
Roofs cannot be equipped with a
carrying system on H3 height versions.
Strictly observe the legal provisions in
force concerning the maximum volume
measurements.
For more information on the Technical
data of the vehicle, and in particular on
the dimensions, refer to the corresponding
section.
Bonnet
Opening
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode.
Electric motor
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the cooling
fan or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
Before carrying out any work under the
bonnet, you must switch off the ignition
and

disconnect the nozzle from the charging
connector
if it is connected.
On the inside
This operation must only be done with the
vehicle stationary and the driver’s door open.


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

7Manual 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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
If this warning lamp comes on, have the
brake pads checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, 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 in the engine
compartment near the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, bleed the
filter.
You can also bleed it regularly at each engine oil
change.
Bleeding the water in the filter

► Couple a clear hose to the bleed screw
1 head.
►

Place the other end of the clear hose in a
container

.
► Loosen bleed screw 2 .
► Switch on the ignition.
►

W
ait for the scavenge pump to stop.
►

Switch off the ignition.
►


T
ighten bleed screw 2.
►

Remove, then drain the clear hose and the
container

.
►

Start the engine.
►


Check that there are no leaks.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Any intervention requires a
special qualification guaranteed by the
PEUGEOT


dealer network or a qualified
workshop .
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!

11 4
Practical information
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)


To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 19 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 2,500 miles (4,000 km), which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. After 250 miles (400 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.

The cartridge contains ethylene glycol, which is harmful if swallowed and irritates
the eyes.
It must be kept out of the reach of children.
After use, do not discard the cartridge in standard waste, take it to a
PEUGEOT dealer or an authorised waste
disposal site.
Spare wheel
Parking
► Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
obstruct traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery
.
►

3 - Position the jack
Ensure that the jack is stable.
If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack
may collapse - Risk of injury!


Take care to place the jack strictly at jacking point 1 or 2 under the vehicle,
making sure that the jack head is centred at
the contact point on the vehicle. Otherwise,
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or
the jack collapsing.
Make sure that any passengers are safe
(removed, away from the vehicle).
Never put your hands or your head in the
wheel arch.

122
In the event of a breakdown

Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack (use an axle stand).
Do not use:
–

The jack for any other purpose than lifting
the vehicle.
–


A

jack other than the one supplied by the
manufacturer.
The jack must only be used to change a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any maintenance.
The jack meets European standards, as
defined in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/
CE.
Certain parts of the jack such as the
screw thread or the joints could cause
injury: avoid touching them.
Carefully remove all traces of lubrication
grease.
At the front

► Position jack C at jacking point 1 provided on
the underbody, near the front wheel.
At the rear

The jack must be placed approximately 60 cm from the edge of the rear wheel.


► Position jack C at jacking point 2 in the hole
provided for this purpose.
Special precautions with side door step


If the vehicle is so equipped, make sure to place
the jack at 45° so that it does not interfere with
the door step.

► Remove the wheel trim (depending on
version) by levering it off with screwdriver E
.
►

Loosen the bolts using wheelbrace D

and
bar B.
For more information on Positioning the
jack, refer to the corresponding section.
►

Make sure that the jack is stable and
correctly positioned on the underbody

.


► Using wheelbrace D and bar B, extend the
jack sufficiently to release the wheel.
To clear the wheel easily, a space of about 2 to 3 cm is needed between the
ground and the tyre.
If the wheel is badly punctured/crushed,
increase the space but do not operate the
jack to its maximum lifting position.


► Unscrew the bolts completely and remove the
wheel to be repaired.
►

Make sure that the spare wheel contact
surfaces, the bolts and bolt housings are clean
and free of impurities that could cause the fixing
bolts to become loose.
Do not grease the bolts before screwing
them on: they could unscrew themselves
spontaneously.


► Fit the spare wheel by aligning the 2 holes M
with the 2 corresponding shafts N.
►

Start screwing the bolts on by hand.

Screw on the bolts in this order.
