FAMILIARISATION
MONITORING
The instrument panel has permanent back-
lighting for improved visibility in all situations,
both day and night.


- With the ignition on, the fuel gauge needle
should indicate the level of fuel remaining.

- With the engine running, its associated
low level warning lamp should switch off.

- With the ignition on, the oil level indicator
should display "OK" or "correct",
depending on version, for a few seconds.
If the levels are not correct, top up the levels
which are low.

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 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 consistent average.

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,
accompanied by
an audible signal
and a message. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 5 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.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning lamp
will come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this
could damage the emission control and injection systems.

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on Diesel vehicles
(see Checks - checking levels/particle emissions fi lter).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

With the engine running, when the needle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B
, the temperature is too high; the maximum temperature
warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message in the
screen.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
















ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The vehicle must be on level ground and the engine must have
been off for more than 30 minutes for this level check to be
accurate. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the
cooling system increase.
To top up the level:


)
wait for the engine to cool,

)
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

Oil level correct

This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL"
or an alert message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up to prevent damage to the engine.
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL--"
or the appearance of an alert
message in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Dipstick

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 damage to
the engine),

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

QUALITY OF THE FUEL USED FOR PETROL
ENGINES

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively
for vehicles 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).














QUALITY OF THE FUEL USED FOR DIESEL
ENGINES

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with biofuels which
conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which
complies with standard 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 certain Diesel engines; however, this
use is subject to strict application of the special servicing conditions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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).
When you have fi lled the tank:


)
put the cap back in place,

)
turn it to the right,

)
close the fl ap.


Freezing conditions

In these conditions, the fi ller fl ap may be jammed.
Opening the boot gives access to the fl ap, allowing it to be
released by hand.
