To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel
engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases...
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never
use a high-pressure jet wash in the engine compartment - risk of damaging the
electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or extremely cold
conditions...
Other information:
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and a low level of ambient light is
detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the
part of the driver...
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick
into the USB port or connect the USB device to the USB port using a suitable
cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do
not use a USB hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary memory); this operation can take
