the gauge is positioned on:

F (Full): the fuel tank is full.

E (Empty): the reserve is now being 
used, the low fuel warning lamp comes 
on continuously.

the reserve when the warning first comes 
on is approximately:

10 litres for 60 and 90 litre tanks,

12 litres for 120 litre tanks.

Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and 
120 litres) are available as an option.

cooLAnt tEMPErAturE

the needle is positioned between 
c (cold) and H (Hot):
 normal operation.

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic 
conditions, the needle may move close to 
the red graduations.

If the needle enters the red zone or if the 
warning lamp comes on:

stop immediately, switch off the ignition. 
the fan may continue to operate for 
a certain time up to approximately 
10 minutes.

wait for the engine to cool down in 
order to check the level and top it up if 
necessary. Follow this advice:

the cooling system is pressurised. In order 
to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the 
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to 
drop.

When the pressure has dropped, check the 
level and remove the cap to top-up.

If the needle remains in the red zone, 
contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

EMISSIonS controLS

eOBD (european On Board Diagnosis) 
is a diagnostics system which complies 
with, among others, the standards on the 
authorised emissions of:

CO (carbon monoxide),

HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.

tYrE undEr-InFLAtIon dEtEctIon

System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving.

the tyre under-inflation detection 
system is an aid to driving which does 
not replace the need for vigilance on 
the part of the driver.

this system does not avoid the need 
to check the tyre pressures regularly 

(including the spare wheel) and before a 
long journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres increases 
fuel consumption.

the system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving.

A pressure sensor is located in the valve of 
each tyre.

the system triggers an alert if a drop in 
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.

the tyre pressures must be checked 
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped 

for 1 hour or after driving for less then 
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed). 
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values 
indicated on the label.

the tyre pressures for your vehicle can be 
found on the tyre pressure label.

the driver is warned of any 
malfunction of this emission 
control system by the illumination 
of this specific warning lamp in 
the instrument panel.

there is a risk of damage to the catalytic 
converter. Have it checked by a PeugeOt 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

to locate it, refer to the "technical 
data - Identification markings" section.

Driving with under-inflated tyres 
adversely affects road holding, extends 

braking distances and causes premature 
tyre wear, particularly under arduous 
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long 
journey).

Instruments and controls

under-inflation alert

The alert is given by the fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal, 
and depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.

In the event of a problem on one of the 
tyres, the symbol or the message appears, 
according to equipment, to identify it.

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

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the 
spare wheel (according to equipment).

In the event of under-inflation:

●  if you have a compressor, the one 

in the temporary puncture repair 
kit for example, check the four tyre 
pressures when cold,

 or
●  if it is not possible to check the 

tyre pressures at the time, drive 
carefully at reduced speed and go to 
the nearest PeugeOt dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

the loss of pressure detected does not 
always lead to visible deformation of 

the tyre.

Do not rely on just a visual check.

the alert is maintained until the tyre or 
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired 

or replaced.

operating fault

the flashing and then fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp 
accompanied by the illumination 
of the service warning lamp, and 

depending on equipment, the display of a 
message 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.

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.

HILL StArt ASSISt

this system (also called HHC - Hill Holder 
Control), linked to the dynamic stability 
control system, makes hill starts easier and 
is activated in the following conditions:

the vehicle must be stationary, engine 
running, foot on the brake,

the gradient of the road must be steeper 
than 5%,

uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or 
in a gear other than reverse,

downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.

the Hill Start Assist system is a driving 
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking 
function or an automatic parking brake.

operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release the brake 
pedal, without using the parking brake, you 
have approximately 2 seconds to move off 
before the vehicle starts to roll back.

During the moving off phase, the function 
is deactivated automatically, gradually 
releasing the braking pressure. During 
this phase, the characteristic noise of 
mechanical release of the brakes may be 
heard, indicating the imminent movement of 
the vehicle.

operating fault

If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on accompanied by an audible 
signal and confirmed by a message 

in the screen. Have the system checked by at 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Hill start assist is deactivated in the following 
situations:

when the clutch pedal is released,

when the parking brake is applied,

when the engine is switched off,

when the engine stalls.

the Stop & Start system puts the engine 
temporarily into standby - StOP mode - 
during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic 
jams, or other...). the engine restarts 
automatically - StARt mode - as soon as 
you want to move off. the restart takes 
place instantly, quickly and silently.

Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system reduces fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions and offers the comfort of 
complete silence when stationary.

StoP & StArt

operation

Going into engine StoP mode

With the vehicle stationary, put the gear 
lever into neutral, then release the clutch 
pedal.

this indicator lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel and 
the engine goes into standby.

Automatic stopping of the engine is 
only possible after the vehicle has 

exceed a speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), 
to avoid repeated stopping of the engine 
when driving slowly.

Never leave your vehicle with out first 
turning off the ignition with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in 
StOP mode; you must switch off the 

ignition with the key.

Special cases: StoP mode unavailable

the StOP mode is not invoked when:

the system is initialising,

the driver's door is open,

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

the air conditioning is running,

the heated rear screen is on,

the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

reverse gear is engaged, for a parking 
manoeuvre,

some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, particle 
filter regeneration, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature...) where the 
engine is needed to assure control of a 
system.

this indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel flashes for a 
few seconds, then goes off.

this operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine StArt mode

this indicator lamp goes off 
and the engine restarts.

If following an automatic restart in StARt 
mode, the driver takes no action on the 
the vehicle during the next  3 minutes, the 
system stops the engine definitively. the 
engine can then only be restarted using 
the key.

Special cases: StArt invoked 
automatically

the StARt mode is invoked automatically 
when:

the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,

the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,

the air conditioning is running,

the engine has been stopped for around 
3 minutes with Stop & Start,

some special conditions (battery charge, 
engine temperature, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature...) where the 
engine is needed to assure control of a 
system.

In this case, a message appears 
in the instrument panel screen, 
accompanied by this indicator 
lamp, which flashes for a few 
seconds, then goes off.

Good practice

With a manual gearbox in StOP mode, if a 
gear is engaged without fully depressing the 
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.

An indicator lamp and/or message is 
displayed in the instrument panel asking 
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow 
restarting.

this operation is perfectly normal.

With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine 
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing 
the clutch pedal.

With the engine stopped in StOP 
mode, if the driver unfasten's 
their seat belt and opens a front 
door, the engine can only be 

restarted using the ignition key. there is 
an audible signal, accompanied by flashing 
of this indicator lamp and the display of a 
message.

operating fault

In the event of a fault with the system, 
the Stop & Start system is deactivated 
and this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by a message in the 
instrument panel screen.

Have it checked by a PeugeOt dealer or 
a qualified workshop.

In the event of an operating fault with StOP 
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by 
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting 
the gear lever into neutral.

Maintenance

Before working under the bonnet, you 
must switch off the ignition with the 

key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from 
automatic operation of StARt mode.

this system requires a specific battery 
with a special specification and technology 
(reference numbers available from a 
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop).

Fitting a battery not listed by 
PeugeOt introduces the risk of malfunction 
of the system.

the Stop & Start system makes use 
of advanced technology. Specialist 

knowledge is needed for any work on the 
system, which can only be assured by 
PeugeOt dealers.

Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.

Pay close attention to the traffic and keep 
your hands on the wheel so that you are 
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.

On a long journey, a break every two hours 
is strongly recommended.

In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate 
the need to brake and increase the distance 
from other vehicles.

driving on flooded roads

We strongly advise against driving on 
flooded roads, as this could cause serious 
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as 
to the electrical systems of your vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive through water:

check that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves 
that might be generated by other users,

deactivate the Stop & Start system,

drive as slowly as possible without 
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 
6 mph (10 km/h),

do not stop and do not switch off the 
engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as 
circumstances allow, make several light 
brake applications to dry the brake discs and 
pads.

If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, 
contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Important!

Never drive with the parking brake applied -  
Risk of overheating and damage to the 
braking system!

Do not park or run the engine when 
stationary in areas where inflammable 
substances and materials (dry grass, dead 
leaves...) might come into contact with the 
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!

Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with 
the engine running. If you have to leave 
your vehicle with the engine running, apply 
the parking brake and put the gearbox into 
neutral.
