Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe 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 inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- 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 onany trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd

When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuel
r
emain in the tank.

Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.


It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.


Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol
filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
Operation


Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
