HILL START ASSIST

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

OPERATION

This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,

- in particular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deactivated.

Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist
phase.

OPERATING FAULT

If a malfunction of the system occurs, these warning lamps come on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral on a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in position D
or M
on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.


If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and ensure that this warning lamp
on the instrument panel is permanently on.

132
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.

FUEL TANK


Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.



LOW FUEL LEVEL

FILLING

When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it fi rst comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. When driving, this audible signal and display of the alert
message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards "0"
.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fuel
(Diesel)" section.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to
be used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in order to be taken into
account by the fuel gauge. To fi ll the tank in complete safety:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
press the rear part of the fl ap, then raise it to open it,

)
turn the cap to the left,

)
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump
; this could cause malfunctions. Opening the fi ller cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush
of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of
the fuel system.

COOLANT LEVEL

The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a particle emission fi lter, the fan
may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the
engine is cold.

In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.



SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP WASH FLUID

In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the vehicle.


Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.











ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message that the particle emissions fi lter additive level is too low.


Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.











USED PRODUCTS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.

PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)


On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle fi lter regeneration operations
may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical
information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
