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 fi lter,  air fi lter...)  and  ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after 
the 3 rd  cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 
any overfl ow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the 
fuel consumption settle down to a con-
sistent average.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
  System which automatically checks the 
pressure of the tyres while driving.     
All repairs and changing of tyres on 
a wheel fi tted with this system must 
be carried out by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. 
  If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected 
by your vehicle (example: fi tting 
of snow tyres), you must have the 
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
   
This system does not eliminate 
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to 
the "Technical information - Identi-
fi cation markings" page) to ensure 
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained 
and prevent premature wear of the 
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high 
speed). 
  The tyre pressures must be checked 
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of 
the spare wheel. 
  The tyre under-infl ation  detection 
system may experience temporary 
interference due to electro-magnetic 
signals on a frequency close to that 
used by the system.  
     
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a 
warning in the event of malfunction. The 
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).  
   
Flat tyre 
  A message appears in the multifunction 
screen, accompanied by an audible signal, 
to locate the wheel concerned. 
   
 
 ) 
  Check the tyre pressures as soon 
as possible.  
  This check must be carried out when 
the tyres are cold.    This warning lamp and the  STOP 
 
warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the multifunction screen locating 
the wheel concerned. 
   
 
 ) 
  Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel 
and the brakes. 
   
 ) 
  Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and 
have the tyre pressure checked as 
soon as possible.  
     
Puncture 
   
The tyre under-infl ation  detection 
system is an aid to driving which does 
not replace the need for the driver to 
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.  
 
    
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty 
  A message appears in the multifunction 
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which 
are not detected or to indicate a fault in 
the system. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s).  
   
This message is also displayed 
when one of the wheels is away 
from the vehicle (being repaired) or 
when one or more wheels without a 
sensor are fi tted. 
  The spare wheel is not fi tted  with 
a sensor.

 According to country.  
CHANGING A WHEEL *  
 
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel 
for the spare wheel using the tools pro-
vided with the vehicle. 
   Access to the tools 
 
The tools are installed in a box at the 
bottom of the boot under the spare 
wheel. 
  For access to them, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the spare wheel" on 
the following page.    
List of tools 
   
 
1. 
 Wheelbrace.  
  For removal of the wheel trim and 
removal of the wheel fi xing bolts. 
   
2. 
  Jack with integral handle.  
  For raising the vehicle. 
   
3. 
  "Bolt cover" tool.  
  For removal of the bolt protectors 
(covers) on alloy wheels. 
   
4. 
 
Socket for the security bolts (located 
in the glove box).  
  For adaptation of the wheelbrace 
to the special "security" bolts.  
    
5. 
 Removable towing eye.  
  Refer to the paragraph "Towing 
the vehicle". 
  All of these tools are specifi c to your 
vehicle. Do not use them for other 
purposes.      
Other accessories 
   
Wheel with trim 
   
When removing the wheel 
, detach 
the trim fi rst using the wheelbrace  1 
 
pulling at the valve passage hole. 
   
When refi tting the wheel 
, re-
fi t the trim starting by placing its 
notch facing the valve and press
