ALARM
If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:
- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is opened.
- interior protection: it sounds if the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).
Good practice
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.
Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm
Setting the alarm
- Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
- have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle. - Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red diode, located on the centre
console, flashes once per second.
Disarming
- Unlock the vehicle with the remote control or switch on the ignition, the red
diode goes out.
Locking the vehicle with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle,
you wish to leave a window partially open or
a pet inside the vehicle, you should choose
exterior protection only.
- Switch off the ignition. - In the next ten seconds, press this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
diode is on continuously.
- Get out of the vehicle.
- Within the next five minutes, set the alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red diode flashes
once a second).

The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.

FILLING WITH FUEL
FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off .
DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres
of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump, under the bonnet under
the protective cover, until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Low fuel level
When the needle is at the start of
the red zone, the minimum fuel
tank level is reached when this
warning light comes on. At this
moment, you have approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel. When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
- Open the fuel filler flap. Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the flap. In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position).
- remove the key.
- put the key back in the ignition.
- switch on the ignition and start.
