1Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.

Driving
Driving 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.
T

o ensure the durability of the vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautionary measures must be taken when
driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
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.
Load the vehicle correctly
Observe the Gross Train Weight.
To avoid unbalancing the vehicle, centre the
load, placing the heaviest part on the floor in
front of the rear wheels.
Observe the maximum weight for the roof
anchoring points, communicated by a PEUGEOT
dealer. Loads must be securely lashed down.
Loads that are not properly secured in the
loading bay can disturb the vehicle’s behaviour
and cause an accident.
The dimensions of the load in the loading
bay
must respect the (overall) dimensions of the
vehicle.
Drive the vehicle carefully
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.
Avoid rough manoeuvres; improper driving can
lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
Precautions for off-road driving
Before driving off-road:
– Check the engine oil level.
–

Check the condition of the wheels and tyres.
–


Make sure that you transport the tool kit as
well as specialised equipment adapted to the
terrain.
Driving on uneven terrain or roads increases the
risk of the vehicle being damaged and the driver
or passengers being injured. Drive carefully
according to the conditions of the terrain.
–


Fasten seat belts (even at low speed).
–


Do not hold the steering wheel on the inside
or by its spokes (risk of injury due to the wheel
spinning back).
– Do not accelerate suddenly and do not drive at
excessive speed.
–

Do not make sharp turns.
–


A
void dangerous areas and avoid hitting
obstacles.
–

Do not drive perpendicularly or turn around on
a steep slope (risk of tipping over). Go up/down
or reverse in a straight line (with reverse gear
engaged if reversing).
–


Never reverse on a steep slope in neutral or
with the clutch pedal depressed (with a manual
gearbox).
On a descent, the vehicle speed can increase
without any action on the accelerator pedal.
In this case, use the engine brake to slow the
vehicle down. If necessary

, depress the brake
pedal without using it for an extended period
(risk of overheating the braking system).
As a precautionary measure, anticipate the
arrival at the top of a slope (steep slope on the
other side or presence of obstacle).
It is recommended to clean the brakes
regularly after driving off-road. In the
event of noise or loss of braking efficiency, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the braking
system checked.

Practical information
Recommended fuel
Petrol engines are compatible with minimum 91
RON unleaded fuel.
Diesel engines are compatible with type B0
fuel not containing Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
(biofuel) and B7, B10 and B15* type fuels
conforming to EN590 and EN16734 standards
containing respectively up to 7%, 10% and 15%
of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester.
Depending on the country of sale, the Diesel
fuel must be suited to the ambient temperature
in order to optimise engine performance and
minimise polluting emissions.
Temperature greater than Diesel quality
+5°C (+41°F) N°0
-5°C (+23°F) N°-10
-10°C (+14°F) N°-20
-25°C (-13°F) N°-35
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(e.g. vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
* BlueHDi Diesel o nly.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50
% full.
At temperatures below -15
°C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 80 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 11 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel. When it first comes on, about 11 litres of
fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Refuelling
When refuelling, at least 10 litres must be added
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is normal,
caused by the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

► Pull the release control, located on the floor
on the driver's side, to open the filler flap. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Diesel fuel system
This system is under very high pressure.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
* Depending on engine.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the Manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the Manufacturer's requirements 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 and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►

Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely

.
►

(max)
and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

above mark
A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
–

below mark

B
: top up the engine oil
immediately.
In extremely cold conditions, we
recommend replacing your engine's oil
with an oil with a more appropriate viscosity
which will help improve engine starting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to find out which type of oil is suited
to your vehicle's engine.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
Never remove the oil filler cap with the
engine running. Risk of burns and
splashes inside the engine compartment.
►

Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►


W

ait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►

T

op up the level if necessary.
►

After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on

and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
When topping up with a cold engine, start the
engine and slowly add coolant until it reaches
the "MAX" mark.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the engine
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Diesel fuel filter
Change the Diesel fuel filter according to
the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
A clogged Diesel fuel filter can reduce engine performance and damage the
injection system.
Bleeding water from the Diesel fuel

T

o drain the water, unscrew the bleed screw
located under the filter.
–

Operate it until all the water in the transparent
tube has drained, then tighten the bleed screw
again.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of the Diesel fuel filter, refer to the
corresponding section.
Particle filter (Diesel)
(Depending on version)
With HDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
With BlueHDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary
flashing of the first warning lamp and the
temporary lighting of the second warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60

km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 20
minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about
20

minutes, then drive with an engine speed
above 2,500 rpm for 20
minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
