CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safet\
y
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
STEERING MOUNTE d CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.
1.

Cruise control mode selection dial.
2.


Speed programming / value decrease button.
3.


Speed programming / value increase button.
4.


Cruise control of
f / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
The cruise control is
switched on


manually:

it

requires

a

minimum

vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:
-


of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
-

of

second

gear

on

the

automatic

gearbox,

in

sequential

driving

mode,
-


of position

d
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.

deactivation / Activation of the rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated or activated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The status of the function is stored when the ignition is switched off.
OPERATING FAULT
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.)
may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being
towed

or

a

bicycle

carrier

is

fitted

(vehicle

fitted

with

a

towbar

or

bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).

FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.
LOW FUEL LEVEL
R

EFUELLING
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 first comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
Until

sufficient 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 fue\
l
(Diesel)" section.
A


label

affixed to the inside of the flap 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 registere\
d by
the fuel gauge. T

o fill the tank in complete safety:
F the engine must be switched off,
F
press the rear part of the flap, then raise it to open it,
F

turn the cap to the left,
F


remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
flap,
F

fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump; this could cause malfunctions.
Opening
the filler 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.

CHECKS

145
RCZ_en_Chap07_verifications_ed01-2015
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.

BRAKE FLUId LEVEL
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval\

for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
POWER STEERING FLUI d LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Engine oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine oil, ensure that you have the
correct grade of oil for your engine and that it meets the manufacturer'\
s
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location
of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
F Unscrew
the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.
F Add
oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine
components

(risk of fire).
F

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

Add more oil if necessary
.
F After
checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the
dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with \
the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the \
30

minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval\

for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control \
system, never use additives in the engine oil.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first
gear (position P

for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
Check
that the parking brake indicator lamps are on fixed (not
flashing)

in the instrument panel.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specific

to

your

vehicle,

it

is

stored

in

the

glove box.
Wheelbrace:

bolt
finishers (covers) on alloy wheels.
*

Depending


on

the

country of sale, the vehicle may be equipped with
the tools needed to change a wheel and a spare wheel (see following
pages). Do not use:
-


the jack for any purpose other than lifting the vehicle,
-


a jack other than the one supplied with the vehicle.
If the jack supplied with the vehicle is not present, contact a
PEUGEOT


dealer or a qualified workshop to obtain the jack
