2012.5 Peugeot 308 SW BL roof rack

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Charging


)
Disconnect the (+) terminal.

)
Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

)
Connect the charger's red cable to
the (+) terminal of the battery, then
the black cable to the (-) terminal.

)
Once the battery is fully charged,
disconnect the charger cables in
reverse order.


Charging should be carried out in
a well-ventilated area and away
from naked fl ames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid any risk of
explosion and fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen bat-
tery; fi rst thaw it out so as to avoid
the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before
charging, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed
workshop who will ensure that
the internal components have not
been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would cause
a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.


Reinitialisation after
reconnection

After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait at least one
minute before starting, to allow time for the
initialisation of the electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the
following systems yourself:


- remote control,

- one-touch electric windows,

- panoramic sunroof blind,

- time and date,

- audio and navigation system settings.


Check that no alert message or
warning lamp comes on after
switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist
after carrying out these operations,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.












Charging the battery using a
battery charger

Before disconnecting


)
Go to the battery.

)
Check that the doors and boot are
closed but not locked.

)
Switch off the ignition and wait for at
least four minutes.


If the vehicle is to not going to be used
for more than a month, it is recommend-
ed that the battery be disconnected.

When your vehicle's battery is dis-
charged or when the vehicle is to be
out of use for a prolonged period, you
can charge the battery using a battery
charger.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
