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.

Warning lamps

When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed, alone or
associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message on the screen.
Illumination of the warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system or
engine coolant temperature
problem. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine
may cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Service


temporarily. Minor problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:


- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash level,

- the remote control battery,

-
saturation of the particle emission fi lter on Diesel
vehicles (see "Checks - § particle emissions fi lter").

For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed. Major problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen and contact a PEUGEOT

Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched

Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the lev-
el via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines










Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).

The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stand-
ard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
