LOST KEYS
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT

dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
LOCKING THE VEHICLE
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, excep\
t for a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch\
when leaving the vehicle.
REMOTE CONTROL
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range \
and out of sight of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, ev\
en when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Do not throw the remote control batteries away , they contain metals which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection point.
WHEN PURCHASING A SECON d- HAN d VEHICLE
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUG\
EOT dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

WINdSCREEN ANd HEA d LAMP WASH
F Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards you. The windscreen wash
then the windscreen wipers operate for a fixed period.
The headlamp washers only operate when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on, with the vehicle moving .
Screenwash/headlamp wash low
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, when the minimum level of the reservoir is reached, this warning
lamp and/or the service warning lamp is displayed in the

message in the screen.
Next

time
you stop, fill the screenwash / headlamp wash fluid reservoir.
The warning lamp is displayed when the ignition is switched on, or

time the stalk is operated, until the reservoir is filled.
To

reduce

the

consumption

of

the

fluid

In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is \
displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.
F

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
F


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
F


In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or
the

spare wheel (according to equipment),


or
F

if you have a compressor
, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,


or
F

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
UNdER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least
0.2

bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on
the tyre pressure label. The
flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning
lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service
warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This

alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (steel spare wheel).
Go

to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked or

, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
OPERATING FAULT
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.

CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick. 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).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's
service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If

a

level

drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a


PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked
on level ground and the engine must have been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil chang\
es).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location\
of
the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
F

T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
F Wipe
the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.
F Refit
the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A

and B.A = MA
x
B

= MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do
not start the engine .
-

If the level is above the
MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine),
contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

If the level is below the
MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

Add more oil if necessary
.
F After
checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the

the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the \
30

minutes after topping up.

CHECKS
BATTERY
PARTICLE
FILTER ( dIESEL )
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter 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 "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle filter 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

filter.
As

soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\

f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Otherwise,

have

them

checked

by

a

PEUGEOT


dealer

or

a

qualified

workshop.
AIR FILTER AN
d PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 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

.
A


clogged

passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace

the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this component.
