THE KEYS

The keys allow you to switch on the ignition and to independently operate the locks on the driver's door, the fuel filler cap, the glove box and the passenger air bag disarming switch.

Central locking

From the driver's door, the keys allow you to lock, deadlock or unlock the doors and the boot, as well as fold back the exterior mirrors.

If one of the front doors is open, it is impossible to operate the central locking. A bleep indicates this when locking by means of the remote control.

The remote control performs the same functions at a distance.

YOUR 406 COUPE AT A GLANCE

OPENING THE BONNET

Inside the vehicle: Pull the handle.

Filling with fuel

Switch off the engine.

A filler cap hook is provided.

A label on the inside of the flap shows which fuels are permitted and which are not.

The capacity of the tank is approximately 15.4 gallons (70 litres).

Low fuel level warning light

From the time this light comes on, the range remaining is approximately 30 miles (50 km).

Outside the vehicle: Lift the catch and raise the bonnet.

Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.

• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.

The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between two oil changes is normal.

It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between two routine services, at the time or distance intervals specified.

This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the PEUGEOT network.

At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot safety check, for a nominal fee.

A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).

The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines.

If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.

The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants: THUS IT IS ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER

Some of your vehicle's vital components have specific servicing schedules.

The air bags and the pretensioning seat belts must be replaced every 10 years.

The brake fluid must be replaced every 36/40,000 miles (60 000 km) or every 2 years.

The pollen filter must be checked at each visit to the PEUGEOT dealer (intermediate visits and regular services).

Replacement of the timing belt: consult your Peugeot dealer.

Arduous conditions of use

If the vehicle is used in certain particularly arduous conditions:

• Continuous door-to-door use.
• Town use (e.g. taxi).
• Repeated short journeys, with the engine cold in low temperatures.

or for long stays in the following conditions:

• Hot countries with temperatures often above 30°C .
• Cold countries with temperatures often below minus 15°C .
• Countries with a dusty atmosphere.
• Countries whose lubricants or fuels do not conform to our recommendations,

it is necessary to follow an "Arduous conditions" servicing schedule, which includes special operations and shorter service intervals:

• Every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every year for petrol engine vehicles.
- Every 9,000 miles (15 000 km) or every year for Direct Injection Diesel engine vehicles.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This is a visual reminder of when the next service is due. This service is to be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Operation

As soon as the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the spanner symbolising "service operation" is lit. The trip recorder display shows you the distance remaining (in round figures) before the next service.

Example: 4,800 km remain before the next service is due. When the ignition comes on and for 5 seconds the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the display shows the total or trip distances.

The distance remaining before the next service is less than 1,000 km.

Example: 900 km remain before the next service is due.

When switching on the ignition and for 5 seconds, the display shows:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the symbol remains lit.

This indicates that a service should be carried out shortly. The display shows the total or trip distances.

The service is overdue

Each time the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the symbol and the excess distance flash.

Example: the service is overdue by 300 km. The service should be carried out very shortly.

When the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the display shows:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the symbol remains lit. The display shows the total or trip distances.

Resetting the service indicator

Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this operation after each service. However, if you carry out the service yourself, the reset procedure is as follows:

- Switch off the ignition.

- Press and hold button 1.

- Switch on the ignition.

The display begins a 10 second countdown.

- Keep button 1 pressed for 10 seconds.

The display shows [=0] and the service symbol disappears.

Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, based upon the engine type.

The servicing cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending on your vehicle; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 406 Coupé.

Level B service is designed for less recent vehicles.

When the first service is carried out and at each subsequent service, your dealer will advise you of the type and content of the next service due.

These fixed operations are carried out with synthetic based oil; Fuel Economy oil or synthetic oil may also be used.

TRADE NAMES OF APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS IN EUROPE (1)

(1) Minimum quality standard: Petrol engines ACEA A3 and API SH/SJ; Diesel engines: ACEA B3 and API CF/CD - ACEA = Association des Constructeurs Europeens Automobiles
(Association of European Automobile Manufacturers) - API = American Petroleum Institute. If oil is used which does not conform to the ACEA A3 B3 standard,
this requires the "Arduous Conditions" servicing schedule to be followed, which involves shorter intervals between services.
*This Fuel Economy oil can only be used in engines designed for its use (from 2000 Model Year). Use only 5W40 oil for the 2.2 litre HDI engine.
Fuel Economy oil may not be used for the 2.2 litre 16 valve petrol engine

Recommendations for approved lubricants

The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most purposes.

The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depending on the temperatures at which the oils are to be used.

It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality".

In the absence of semi-synthetic or synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ quality (for petrol engines) or CD/CF quality (for diesel engines) may be used by following the "Arduous Conditions" maintenance schedule, which specifies shorter service intervals.

Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain driving pleasure and to minimise the maintenance cost of your vehicle.

For countries outside Europe, please contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS

A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warning lights may be linked to buzzers and a message on the multi-function display. Do not ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.

If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.

Central (STOP) warning light

Linked to the "engine oil pressure", "the low brake fluid level", "the coolant temperature gauge" and "electronic brake force distribution system fault" warning lights. It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.

Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Engine oil pressure warning light

Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.

Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.

It indicates either:

- insufficient oil pressure,

– lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Low coolant level warning light

Stop immediately.

Allow the engine to cool before topping up.

The cooling system is pressurised.

In the event of a breakdown and to prevent the risk of scalding, turn the cap to the first notch to allow the pressure to drop.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Fuel filler cap warning light

This comes on if the fuel cap is not correctly screwed

on or is missing.

YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL

ESP Electronic Stability Programme operation indicator light

This flashes when the system is operating.

It is lit continuously if disarmed or if there is a fault.

Clogging of the particulate emission filter warning light (diesel engine)

Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.

The flashing of this light while the engine is running is caused either by the particulate emission filter being overloaded or by the engine running too long at idle (white smoke from the exhaust). There is a risk of the filter clogging if the same conditions of operation are maintained.

As soon as possible, drive for at least three minutes at a speed exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if driving conditions allow this.

If the light comes on, contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force distribution warning light.

This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.

It indicates either:

• that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly, and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
• an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the handbrake released),
• lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution system.

Stop immediately.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light

This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.

If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfunction of the ABS.

However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Front brake pad wear warning light

For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light comes on.

YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL

AUDIO SYSTEM

Presentation

Your 406 Coupé is fitted with a JBL Audio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the vehicle's passenger compartment.

At the heart of the system, a 240 Watt multifunction amplifier (1), located in the boot, independently controls 10 high acoustic definition speakers.

These speakers make it possible to obtain optimum reproduction and distribution of the sound in the vehicle, in the front and in the rear.

The speakers are located:

• in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters (3) fitted in two Mediums (4) for clear and head-on reproduction of the sound, favouring listening in the front.
• in the front doors: two Woofers (5) for reproduction of the bass (low frequencies) in the front.
• in the passenger pillars: two Tweeters (2) for reproduction of the treble (high frequencies) in the rear.
• on the rear shelf: two Subwoofers (6) for reproduction of the extreme bass sounds (low and very low frequencies) throughout the passenger compartment; you will appreciate the impact and depth, noticing that the sound fills the vehicle perfectly.

Adjustment in CD mode

The basic functions remain those of the audio equipment.

No additional adjustment is required. However, to benefit fully from your JBL audio system, you are advised to adjust the AUDIO functions (BASS, TREB, FAD, BAL) to position "0" (zero) and the Loudness (LOUD) to the "ON" position.

THE SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Introduction

The satellite navigation system guides you to the destination of your choice by means of vocal and visual instructions. The heart of the system lies in the use of a map database and GPS (Global Positioning System). This enables your position to be located by means of several satellites.

The satellite navigation system consists of the following components:

• the remote control,
• the display,
• the control unit,
• the last voice message recall control,
• the CD ROM.

Some functions or services described in this guide may vary depending on the CD ROM version or the country.

CHILD SEATS

Although one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you. For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:

• All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with a seat belt.
• Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facing position**. The rearwards facing position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.

After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems:

Up to 18 months (up to 13 kg)

① "Britax Babysure": installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt. In the front, the passenger seat must be in the 'mid-way' position on the slide.

From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (9 to 18 kg)

② "Römer Prince": installed in the rear using a three-point seat belt. For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.

From 3 to 6 years (15 to 25 kg)

③ "Römer Vario": installed in the rear with a three point seat belt.

* According to current legislation in the country of destination. ** Unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children or the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing or folded down). In this case, adjust the front passenger seat to the rear-most position and leave the air bag active.

YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL

From 3 to 10 years (15 to 36 kg)

④ "Recaro Start": installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt.
The height and width of the seat back must be adjusted according to the age and build of your child.
⑤ "Klippan Optima": installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt. From the age of 6 years (approximately 22 kg), the booster is used on its own.

Remember, even for short journeys, to fasten the three-point seat belts or the child seat straps, keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum. To prevent the doors from opening accidentally, use the child-lock.

Never leave a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun and has the windows closed.

Never leave the keys within reach of children inside the car.

Disarm the passenger air bag when installing a rear-facing child seat in the front; there is a risk of the child being killed or seriously injured if the air bag were to inflate.

Observe strictly the assembly recommendations as shown in the child seat instructions.

SEAT BELTS

To adjust the height of the front seat belts

Pinch control 1 and slide it.

To lock the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk.

Pre-tensioning and force-limiting front seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduction of pre-tensioning and force-limiting front seat belts. Depending on the seriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioning system instantly tightens the seat belt firmly against the body of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on.

The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against the occupant's body in the event of an accident.

Rear seat belts

The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel belts.

To be effective, a seat belt must be tightened as close to the body as possible.

Depending on the nature and the seriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioners may be triggered before and independently of the air bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning light comes on.

Following a collision, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years.

Have it replaced after this period.

YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL

Make a careful note of the number of each key. This number is coded on the label attached to the key. If the key is lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys.

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 your vehicle.

The remote control cannot operate while the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is off, except for reprogramming.

However, do not operate the deadlocking system if there is someone inside the vehicle.

As a safety measure (when there are children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.

Avoid operating the remote control buttons out of range of your vehicle; you run the risk of stopping it from working. It would then be necessary to reprogramme it.

When buying a second-hand vehicle:

- check that you have been given the confidential card;

- have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer to be sure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.

Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

Select the required position (R, D, 3, 2 or 1) then gradually release the brake pedal: the vehicle moves off immediately.

Automatic Operation

Automatic changing of the four gears:

Move the selector lever to position D.

The gearbox continuously selects the most suitable gear according to the following parameters:
– driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
The gearbox functions in autoadaptive mode without any action on your part.

Note:

For immediate maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down as far as it will go (kickdown). The gearbox will change down automatically or stay in the gear selected, up to maximum engine speed.

When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide efficient engine braking.

If you take your foot off the accelerator suddenly, the gearbox will not change up for reasons of safety.

When the engine is idling with position R, D, 3, 2 or 1 selected and the brakes off, the car will move even you accelerating.

For this reason, do not leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle when the engine is running.

If work needs to be done with the engine running, apply the handbrake and select position P.

Never select position N when the vehicle is moving.

Never select position P or R unless the vehicle is stationary.

Do not change from one position to another to optimise braking on slippery roads.

In the event of battery failure, if the lever is in position P it will not be possible to change to another position.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and complement the ABS system.

The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the drive wheels and on the engine. It also allows the directional stability of the vehicle to be improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the engine and the brake of one or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle back on course.

Operation of the ASR and ESP systems

When one of these two systems is operating, this light flashes.

Disarming the ESP / ASR systems

In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or on loose ground...), it could prove useful to disarm the ASR system to make the wheels spin and regain grip.

Press the switch "ESP OFF", situated to the left of the steering wheel.

The switch lights up and the indicator lights come on, accompanied by the message "ASR/ESP de-activated" on the multi-function display: the ESP and ASR systems no longer affect the operation of the engine or the brakes.

They engage again:

Automatically when the ignition is switched off,

manually by pressing the switch again.

Operating check

When a system malfunction occurs, the switch light flashes and the indicator light comes on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to check

the system.

The ESP system offers increased safety during normal driving, but should not incite the driver to take

risks or to drive at high speed. The operation of the system is assured to the extent to which the recommendations of the manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres and wheel rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the assembly and repair procedures within the PEUGEOT network are respected.

After an accident or impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.

Warning: when parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards the pavement and apply the handbrake.

Releasing

DRIVING YOUR 406 COUPE

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver, regardless of the road characteristics and without the driver having to touch the accelerator or brake pedals.

In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

Operation

Place switch 1 in the ON position. A speed can be memorised.
Place switch 1 in the OFF position to cancel.

Memorising a speed

As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2 or 3. This memorises the speed, which will be maintained automatically.

Note: It is possible to accelerate momentarily without disarming the cruise control.

Cancelling the memorised speed

If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:

Press button 4 or the brake or clutch pedal.

Recalling the memorised speed

After cancellation, press button 4. Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed.

Changing a memorised speed

To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:

press button 3;

release it when you have reached the required speed.

To memorise a speed lower than the previous one:

press button 2;

release it when you have reached the required speed.

Cancelling the cruise control

place switch 1 in the OFF position or switch off the ignition.

Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.

When used with approved tyres in good condition, the ABS increases the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.

The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when there is a risk of wheel lock.

The normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.

In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be reached more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered according to the speed of activation of the brake pedal. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.

DRIVING YOUR 406 COUPE

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction with the force-limiting seat belts.

The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle: if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bags inflate instantly and protect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if necessary from the vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not serious, for which the seat belt is sufficient to ensure maximum protection. The seriousness of a collision depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of the collision.

Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air bags can be a minor irritant.

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the fascia for the front passenger. They are deployed simultaneously, except in cases where the passenger air bag is disarmed.

Front air bag fault

If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the mes-

sage "Air bag fault" on the multi-function display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.

Passenger air bag precautions

For a vehicle fitted with a passenger air bag disarming switch:

- disarm the air bag if you install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat,

- arm the air bag for an adult passenger.

For a vehicle not fitted with a passenger air bag disarming switch:

- do not install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat.

Never place your feet or any object on the fascia.

Infotec 01-07-2002

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly according to the servicing schedule.

Used oil

Prevent used oil from coming into prolonged contact with the skin.

Do not dispose of used oil into drains or onto the ground.

To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Brakes and clutch

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level:

- The level should always be above the DANGER mark on the reservoir.

- If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer immediately.

Fluid change

- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

- use fluids approved by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT 4 standards.

Cooling system

Use the fluid approved by the manufacturer.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is controlled by the engine fan. Because this fan can operate with the ignition key removed and because the cooling system is pressurised, wait for at least one hour after the engine has stopped before carrying out any work.

In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, slacken the cap to the first notch to release the pressure. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.

Power steering reservoir

Open the reservoir with the engine cold. The level should always be above the MINI mark, close to the MAXI mark.

Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir

For best quality cleaning and for your safety, we recommend that you use products approved by PEUGEOT (capacity 4.5 litres or 9 litres with headlamp wash).

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Air filter

Regular replacement of the filter element is essential. If you drive in very dusty conditions, change it twice as often.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles that are used in town, for short journeys. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads even between services.

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the performance of the system, the handbrake should be adjusted, even between services. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Manual gearbox

This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Automatic autoadaptive gearbox

This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a PEUGEOT dealer according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Only use products approved by Automobiles PEUGEOT.

To ensure best performance from components as important as the power steering and the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers quite specific products.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Access to the spare wheel and jack

Lift the boot carpet using the lifting hook. Secure the hook behind the boot seal.

Tools

1 - Wheel brace.
2 - Centralising tool.
3 - Trim remover/wheel brace extension.
4 - Jack.
5 - Removable towing eye.
6 - Chrome trim tool

The tool holder supports the boot floor. Reposition it to prevent any deformation of the floor when loaded.

Tighten the spare wheel securing strap to prevent noise and for your safety in the event of a frontal impact.

Removal

• Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
• Apply the handbrake, engage first or reverse gear (position P for the automatic gearbox).
• Remove the centre trim.
• Loosen the wheel bolts.

For vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, remove the chrome trims beforehand (see the section in this chapter entitled 'Special features of alloy wheels').

• The jack is fitted with a system which enables it to be folded or unfolded rapidly.
• Take the jack from the toolkit and close it by pressing the ends A.
• Place the jack at one of the locations E underneath the vehicle, as close as possible to the wheel to be changed. Unfold it by pulling the ends A.
• Extend the jack using the wheel-brace 1 and the extension 3.
• Take out a wheel bolt at the top and fit the centralising tool 2.
• Loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel.

Fitting a wheel

• Position the wheel using the centralising tool to assist you.
• Tighten the bolts by hand, and remove the centralising tool.
• Partly tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
• Fold the jack and remove it.
• Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace.
• Replace the centre trim by pressing it with the palm of your hand.

For your safety, always change the wheel:

• on level, stable, non-slippery ground,
• with the handbrake applied,
• with first or reverse gear engaged (position P for the automatic gearbox).

Never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack (use a ramp).

After changing the wheel

• have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible,
• have the punctured tyre repaired and refit it to the vehicle as soon as possible.

Special features of alloy wheels

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome trims.

Use tool 6 to remove the trims before slackening the bolts.

Fitting the spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with a steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it is normal, when tightening the bolts, to notice that the washers do not come into contact with the rim. The spare wheel is secured by the cone shape of each bolt.

Fitting snow tyres

If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel wheels, it is essential to use special bolts available from your PEUGEOT dealer.

Anti-theft bolts*

If your wheels are fitted with an anti-theft bolt (one per wheel), the chrome trim and then the plastic cover must be removed using tool 6, before unscrewing the bolt using one of the two anti-theft sockets (which were given to you on delivery of your vehicle along with the duplicate keys and the confidential card) and the wheel brace 1.

Note: make a careful note of the code number engraved on the head of the anti-theft socket. This will enable you to obtain duplicate anti-theft sockets from a Peugeot dealer.

To charge the battery using a battery charger:

• Disconnect the battery,
• Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
• Reconnect starting with the negative (−) terminal,
• Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.

To start the vehicle from another battery:

• Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
• Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (−) terminal of the slave battery,
• Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the broken down vehicle, as far as possible from the battery,

Operate the starter, let the engine run.

Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

• Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
• Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
• Close the sunroof before disconnecting the battery. If it does not operate normally following re-connection of the battery, you must re-initialise
  it by turning the control to the maximum tilt position and pressing it for an extended period.

- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to allow the electronic systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties are experienced after this, please contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Economy mode

With the engine switched off and the ignition key in the "running" or "accessories" position for about half an hour, certain electrical equipment (displays, instrument panel, warning lights, courtesy lights, electric windows, wipers etc.) will switch off automatically to avoid draining the battery.

Once the electrical equipment goes into economy mode, it is necessary to start the engine to enable the equipment to work again.

Your vehicle is equipped with certain factory-fitted audio equipment:

• roof aerial,
• coaxial aerial cable,
• basic interference suppression,
• supply to front speakers,
• supply to rear speakers and tweeters,
• two 8-way connectors.

FITTING THE SPEAKERS

The factory-fitted equipment allows you to fit:

• 165 mm diameter speakers to the front doors,
• 55 mm diameter tweeters to the fascia,
• special elliptical shaped speakers on the rear shelf,
• 65 mm diameter tweeters on the rear panels.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)

You should always use a tow bar.

The towing eye is inside the spare wheel.

From the front:

Unclip the upper section of the cover and tilt it.

Screw in the towing eye until it locks.

From the rear:

Unclip the cover by passing your hand behind the bumper and pushing.

Screw in the towing eye until it locks.

Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)

It is preferable to raise the vehicle by the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmember.

Special features of the automatic gearbox

When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must be obeyed:

- gear lever in position N,

- tow the vehicle at less than 30 m.p.h. (50 km/h) over a maximum distance of 30 miles (50 km).

- do not add oil to the gearbox.

Towing a trailer, caravan, boat etc.

Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but it may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and its driver must be particularly careful.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by 10% and so on for every 1000 metres of altitude.

Driving advice

Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduce your speed.

The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the outside temperature.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.

If the warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.

Braking

Towing increases the braking distance.

Lights

Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.

Side wind

Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.

Boot luggage carrier

A boot luggage carrier is available from your PEUGEOT dealer. This equipment is not compatible with the fitting of a rear spoiler. When it is used, take care not to conceal the third brake light.

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Removing the mat

When removing the mat on the driver's side, move the seat as far back as possible and remove the fixings.

When refitting the mat, position it and replace the fixings by turning them a quarter of a turn.

For your PEUGEOT only use accessories and original parts approved by the manufacturer.

These accessories and parts are all adapted to your PEUGEOT, after being tested and approved for reliability and safety, which PEUGEOT cannot guarantee for other products.

A wide choice of original accessories, approved by PEUGEOT, is available through the dealer network. They all carry the PEUGEOT guarantee.

- Security : Alarms, window engraving, wheel anti-theft devices, first aid kit etc.

- Protection : Carpets, door sill protector, boot tray mat, styling strips, seat covers compatible with side air bags.

- Communication : Telephone, satellite navigation, audio equipment, CD changer, speakers.

- Customisation : Alloy wheels, spoiler, sports exhaust.

- Comfort : Sunroofs*, storage facilities, portable refrigerator, luggage net, telephone console, armrest.
* The fitting of a sunroof may necessitate cutting of the roof strengthener. It is essential that only original PEUGEOT products be used.

– Leisure pursuits : Tow bar, boot rack, snow chains.

- Children : Booster seats and child seats.

- Maintenance products: Windscreen wash fluid, internal and external cleaning and maintenance products.
