Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving
to position P.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.),
position the selector to N and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
depress the brake pedal, select position
P
, apply the parking brake then release
the brake pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking
or acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine
STOP mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox , when vehicle speed
is below 12 mph (20 km/h) or the vehicle is
stationary (depending on engine), the Stop &
Start warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, the Stop & Start warning lamp
on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
With an electronic gearbox , vehicle speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), the Stop & Start warning
lamp on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Start time counter
or(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not invoked in certain temporary
conditions (examples: battery charge, engine
temperature, braking assistance, exterior
temperature) to assure correct operation of the
system and mainly when:
-

t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-

t
he driver's door is open,
-

a s
liding side door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting/defrosting is active.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

Fuel
Tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.
Opening the fuel filler flap
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP button
if your vehicle has
K
eyless Entry and
Starting. At least 8
litres of fuel must be added, in order
to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the cap can cause an air intake noise.
This vacuum is quite normal, caused by the air
tightness of the fuel system.

Practical information

238
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left-hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have added the wrong fuel, you
must have the tank drained and refilled
with the correct fuel before you star t
the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When it first comes on, less than 8

litres of
fuel remain in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
your Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the
flap. The system remains closed and prevents
filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Practical information

239
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations.For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000


standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine
of your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular fuel may be required
(specific octane rating, specific trade
name, etc.) to ensure correct operation
of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a
dealer.
The use of B20

or B30

fuel that
meets the standard EN16709

is
possible with your Diesel engine.
However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590

mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214

(possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734

mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214

(possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940

mixed with
a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214

(possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

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.
The fluid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
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.

252
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
By using a fluid called AdBlue® containing
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of 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
22


litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of around
6,000-9,000


miles (10,000-15,000

km). An
alert system is triggered automatically when
the remaining range reaches 1,500


miles
(2,400

km), i.e. once the reser ve level has been
reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before
the tank is empty.
If the estimated distance travelled by your
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
12,000

miles (20,000

km), it will be necessary
to top up the AdBlue.
