Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances. Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and
for a few seconds, the spanner flashes and
the number of miles/kilometres remaining is
displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver's driving
habits.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the display shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR

- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the catalytic
converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control system
by the lighting of this specific warning light
on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis)

with, among others, the standards
concerning authorised emissions of:

Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the last service.

of your vehicle, different front seats are
fitted, either:
- a driver's seat and a passenger seat,
- an individual driver's seat and a two-seat passenger bench.
Depending on the models, the following
adjustments are available: 3 - Driver's seat height adjustment
Depending on the version and configuration
of your vehicle, you have either:
- a passive adjustment: pull the handle
upwards then take your weight off the
seat to raise, or push on the seat to
lower,
2 - Seat back angle adjustment
Pull the lever upwards and set the required
angle.
1 - Forwards/backwards adjustment
Lift the bar and slide the seat forwards or
backwards.

Rear suspension
Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with. irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two types of suspension are offered.
Rear suspension with pneumatic
compensation
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
1. Automatic
correction

2. Manual correction
1 - Automatic correction of the height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle. A red warning light on your
instrument panel flashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive
slowly until this warning light is
switched off.
The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red light (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
it is essential that the passenger air bag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate. "Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger air bag armed.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The isofix mountings,
the rear seats, the passenger air bag and
the disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on his lap.

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

(1) Gross vehicle weight (GVW).

(2) Braked towed weight with load transfer: this can be increased on condition that the equivalent of t his load is removed from the vehicle so
that the GTW is not exceeded.
High exterior temperatures may result in a reducti on in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine. When the exterior temperature
is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight to 700 kg, without load transfer.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 m ph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
