FAMILIARISATION

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO _2 emissions.

OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR GEARBOX

With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A", according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

DRIVE SMOOTHLY

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These attitudes contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO_2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.

When the traffic is flowing well, and if you have cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).

CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.

Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and window blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

LIMIT THE CAUSES OF EXCESS CONSUMPTION

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your summer tyres.

OBSERVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON MAINTENANCE

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.

Carry out this check in particular:

  • before a long journey,
  • at each change of season,
  • after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

VENTILATION

AIR INTAKE

The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.

AIR FLOW PATHS

The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver:

  • direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
  • passage through a heating circuit (heating),
  • passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
    The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfort required by mixing the air of the various circuits.

The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the passenger compartment combining several air vents.

The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.

CONTROL PANEL

The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console. The functions offered are:

  • the level of comfort required,
  • air flow,
  • air distribution,
  • demisting/defrosting,
  • manual or digital air conditioning controls.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - CONTROL PANEL - 1

text_image Diagram of car interior with numbered directional arrows indicating system or control points for driving or navigation.

AIR DIFFUSION

  1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
  2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents.
  3. Side adjustable air vents.
  4. Central adjustable air vents.
  5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING - 1

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:

To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for information on when it should be checked.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves towing performance.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING - 2

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the cabin for a few moments.

Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the cabin.

The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING - 3

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Automatic comfort programme - 2

When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, side windows and footwells only.

2. Driver's side adjustment

3. Passenger side adjustment

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Passenger side adjustment - 1

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.

The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Activation - 1

When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine.

The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.

They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Activation - 1

This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.

SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE (INTELLIGENT TRACTION CONTROL)

Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control.

This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.

In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud...), it can be useful to temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.

It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.

Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Deactivation - 1

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Operating fault - 2

The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.

The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations on

  • wheels (tyres and rims),
  • braking components,
  • electronic components,
  • assembly and repair procedures.

After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold the button until the end of the manoeuvre.

The keep this system in good working order, check the spoiler and its housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves, ice or snow.

Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its housing.

Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the spoiler housing.

OPERATING FAULT

If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.

If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:

stop where it is safe to do so,
switch off the ignition,
switch the ignition on again.

If the indicator lamp no longer fl ashes, the failure was temporary, the system has resumed normal operation. To retract the spoiler, refer to the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".

If the indicator lamp fl ashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the system is still faulty.

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

In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler), the indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).

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

Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as this may damage it.

The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits the effectiveness of the spoiler.

Do not install load carrying accessories which are not recommended by PEUGEOT.

SEAT BELTS

FRONT SEAT BELTS

The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so improving their protection.

Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Seat belt unfastened warning lamps display - 3

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all restrained securely before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.

Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.

The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling firmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

  • be tightened as close to the body as possible,
  • be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,
  • be used to restrain only one person,
  • not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
  • not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.

In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions. They supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.

In this case, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts suffered in the impact detection zones:

  • in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantaneously and protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occupants or their possible exit from the vehicle,
  • in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is sufficient to provide maximum protection in these situations.

natural_image Top-down line drawing of a car with labeled points (a, b) indicating top and side views respectively (no text or symbols on the car itself)

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate when the ignition is off.

This equipment only operates once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not operate.

The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience some irritation.

The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

FRONT AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - FRONT AIRBAGS - 1

natural_image Two identical line drawings of a human head with abstract leaf-like patterns on the upper face, no text or symbols present.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously, unless the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle.

The front airbag inflates between the thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:

with the ignition off, insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.

If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a violent impact.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Operating fault - 2

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following Front airbags

safety rules:

Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.

All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.

Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.

If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

Lateral airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

CHILD SEATS

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS

Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:

  • in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings *,
  • statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,
  • a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS - 1

Child seat at the rear

Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried in the rear seats in a "forwards-facing" universal ISOFIX child seat.

* The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the current legislation in your country.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

"Rearwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front passenger seat, it is essential that the passenger airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.

When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the vehicle's seat.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.

For optimum installation of the "forward facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint does not cause any discomfort.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forward facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent.

Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rear facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs.

PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

  • one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
  • a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
  • the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle is approved with regulation ISOFIX mountings.

The diagram below indicates which seats are fitted with these ISOFIX mountings:

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - "ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS - 1

natural_image Top-down line drawing of a car showing three seats and two rear seats (no text or symbols)

These are three rings for each seat:

  • two rings A, located between the vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
  • a ring B referred to as the TOP TETHER, located under a cover behind the top of the backrest for fi xing the upper strap.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - TOWING A VEHICLE - 2

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Observe the legislation in force in your country.

Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.

The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.

Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.

When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.

In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:

  • vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road.
  • when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake,
  • towing with only two wheels on the ground,
  • where there is no approved towing bar available...

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - TOWING YOUR VEHICLE - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a car interior showing a blue-handled tool interacting with the dashboard (no text or symbols)

On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.

Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - TOWING YOUR VEHICLE - 2

Place the gear lever in neutral (position N on the automatic gearbox).

Failure to observe this instruction could result in damage to certain components (braking, transmission...) and the absence of braking assistance the next time the engine is started.

Unlock the steering by turning the ignition key one notch and release the parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly and for a short distance only.

TOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE

TOWING A TRAILER

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting and signalling.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - TOWING A TRAILER - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a small boat with a helmet and a car on its side, connected by a cart (no text or symbols)

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

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - TOWING A TRAILER - 2

We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball which can be removed without tools and its harness that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

If the trailer is fitted outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

DRIVING ADVICE

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

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.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by 10 % and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towing loads which apply to your vehicle version.

Side wind

Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.

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.

To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.

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

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - Cooling - 1

If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.

Tyres

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

Lighting

Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The general recommendations on cleaning and maintaining your vehicle are given in the Warranty and Maintenance Record.

PEUGEOT TECHNO TEP

To clean this trim, do not use solvents or detergents with a dry cloth. First remove dust, then use a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry with another soft cloth.

ALUMINIUM ARCHES

To clean these arches, do not use a dry cloth with an abrasive product. Use a sponge and soapy water.

HEADLAMPS AND LAMPS

The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses, fi nished with a protective lacquer.

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.

Use a sponge and soapy water.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - HEADLAMPS AND LAMPS - 1

The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.

Observe the recommendations on pressure and distance for jet washing.

First clean persistent stains with a sponge and warm soapy water.

CUSTOMISING STICKERS

These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good resistance to ageing and tearing.

They are intended for customising the body.

Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - CUSTOMISING STICKERS - 1

When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.

MATT PAINT

If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use of an inappropriate procedures.

These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.

PEUGEOT RCZ (2012) - MATT PAINT - 1

Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the paintwork shiny.

Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Application of these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to shiny or stained areas.

Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.

Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

From the range of cleaning and maintenance products recommended and approved by PEUGEOT, use only products for removing insects and car shampoo.

RDS, if displayed, allows you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100% of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The table below groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning the Peugeot Connect Media.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...).For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "Linear" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
TheCD is ejected automatically or is not played by the player.The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play. The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio equipment.- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the right way up.- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played if it is too damaged.- Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.- The audio equipment's CD player does not play DVDs.- Due to inadequate quality, certain recorded CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The CD player sound is poor.The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insertgood quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting an ambience.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).An incorrect waveband is selected. Press RADIO, select Radio Menu then "Waveband" to return the waveband on which the stations are sb red.
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.Activate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.During this briefsound cut-out, the RD S searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.Deactivate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the battery charge.The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
"TA"s selected. However, certain traffic jams along the route are not indicated in real time.On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffic information.Wait until the traffic information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffic information symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the traffic information.This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffic information available.
The timetaken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual.The performance of the system may slow down temporarily if a CD/DVD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated.Wait until the CD/DVD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function.
I receive a speed camera alert for a speed camera which is not on my route.The system announces all speed cameras positioned in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may detect speed cameras located on nearby or parallel roads.Zoom in on the map to view the exact position of the speed camera.
The speed camera audible warning does not work.The audible warning is not active.Activate the audible warning on Navigation Menu, Settings, Set parameters for risk areas.
The alert volume is set to minimum. Increase the volume of the alert when passin speed camera.g a
Does the emergency call function work without a SIMcard?No, as certain national regulations impose the presence of a SIM card in order to make an emergency call.Insert a validSIM card in the slot.
The altitude is not displayed.On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites correctly.Wait until the system has started up completely. Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least 4 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then select "GPS coverag e").
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary.This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the conditions of reception of the GPS signal.
The routeca Icuulation is not successful.The exclusion criteria may conflict with the current location (exclusion of toll roads on a toll motorway).Check the exclusion criteria on the Navigation Menu ("Route options" - "Avoidance criteria").
There is a long waiting period following the insertion of a CD.When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds.This phenomenon is normal.
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the equipment may not be visible.- Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is switched on.- Check your telephone is visible.
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.A list of compatible Bluetooth mobile telephones is available from the dealer network.
The volume of the telephone connected in Bluetooth mode is inaudible.The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the Peu geot Connect Media, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary.
The system does not play the DVD.The region protection may not be compatible.Insert DVDs which have compatible region protection.
I cannot copy the CD to the Jukebox.The wrong source is selected. Change the active source to CD.
The CD is copy-protected. It is normal that a protectedCD cannot be copied.
The system does not receive SMS.The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending of the SMS to the system. Use your SIM card and the internal telephone.
The SIM card used is a twin card. Use the original SIM card to receive the SMS.
I cannot update the risk area POIs.The Navigation Menu - "Update personal POI" is not displayed.Check that the medium used for the update (SD card or US B memory stick) is inserted correctly.
An error message is displayed at the end of the procedure. - Start the procedure a gain in full.- Consult a PEUGE OT dealer if the problem persists.- Check that the data on the MEDIUM is supplied by an official partner of PEUGEOT.
The voicefrequencies (DTMF) are not active when I am communicating and I press numbers on the keypad.The numeric buttons on the keypad are only active for calls if the display is in telephone mode.To activate them,press the MODE button until the telephone is displayed on the screen.
An accident area which does not concern me is displayed on the screen.The accident areas are displayed near a point defined on the map and in relation to a direction of travel.The alert may be triggered when travelling under a road or near a road which has a speed camera.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...).For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
The CD is fected automatically or is not played by the player.The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play. The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audi o equipment.- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the right way up.- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be play ed f it is too damaged.- Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.- The audio equipment's CD player does not play DVDs.- Due to their quality level, certain writeable CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The message "USB peripheral error" is displayed on the screen. The Bluetooth connection is cut.The battery of the peripheral may not be sufficiently charged. Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.
The USB memory stick is not recognised.The memory stick may be corrupt.Reformat the memory stick.
The CD player sound is poor.The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insertgood quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting an ambience.
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffic information.The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information network. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic information.
The quality of reception of the radio station listened tog radually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of fuse.When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time depends on the battery charge.The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.Switch the audio system of for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
