   
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 
observe the schedule of operations 
recommended by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after 
the 3rd 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 
consistent average.

fi xed.    The emission control system 
has a fault.   The warning lamp should go off when 
the engine is started. 
  If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or qualifi ed workshop without delay.

Low fuel 
level 
 
    
fi xed with the needle 
in the red zone.    When it fi rst comes on there 
remains approximately 
  6 litres 
 of fuel in the tank.  
At this point, you begin to 
use the fuel reserve. 
  Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.  
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition 
is switched on, until a suffi cient addition of fuel is made. 
  Fuel tank capacity: approximately  60 litres 
. 
  Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as 
this could damage the emission control and injection 
systems. 
   
 
  
 
 
Maximum 
coolant 
temperature 
 
    
fi xed with the needle 
in the red zone.    The temperature of the 
cooling system is too high.   Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. 
  Wait until the engine has cooled down 
before topping up the level, if necessary. 
  If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
 
  
 
 
Engine oil

fi xed.    There is a fault with the 
engine lubrication system.   You must stop as soon it is safe to do so. 
  Park, switch off the ignition and contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

improves the directional stability of the 
vehicle. 
   
fi xed.    Unless it has been 
deactivated (button pressed 
and its indicator lamp on) the 
ESP/ASR system has a fault.   Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a 
qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX 
 
As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine:    Only engage reverse gear 
when the vehicle is stationary 
with the engine at idle. 
   
Engaging 5th or 6th gear 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Move the lever fully to the right to 
engage 5th or 6th gear.  
 
   
*   According to engine.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *  
 
System which reduces fuel consumption 
by advising the driver to change up on 
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox. 
 
 
Operation 
 
The system intervenes only when driving 
economically. 
  Depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one or more 
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate 
gears. 
  The gear recommended should not 
be considered compulsory. In fact, the 
confi guration of the road, the amount 
of traffi c and safety remain determining 
factors when choosing the best gear. 
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow 
the advice given by the system. 
  This function cannot be deactivated.     
Example: 
   
 
-   You are in third gear. 
   
In the case of driving which 
makes particular demands on 
the performance of the engine 
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator 
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change. 
  The system never suggests: 
   
 
-  engaging fi rst gear, 
   
-   engaging reverse gear, 
   
-   engaging a lower gear.  
 
    
-   You press the accelerator pedal 
moderately. 
   
-   The system may suggest that you 
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.  
   
The information appears in the form 
of an arrow in the instrument panel 
screen. 
  Depending on your vehicle's equipment, 
this arrow may be accompanied by the 
recommended gear.  
   
This equipment will become available 
during the year.      
 
-   always select neutral, 
   
-   press the clutch pedal.  
  
 
Engaging reverse gear 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Raise the ring under the knob and 
move the gear lever to the left then 
forwards.
