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
consistent average.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the "Technical information - Identi-
fi cation markings" page) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction. The
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel concerned.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold. This warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned.
)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
)
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.

According to country.
CHANGING A WHEEL *
Procedure for changing a faulty wheel
for the spare wheel using the tools pro-
vided with the vehicle.
Access to the tools
The tools are installed in a box at the
bottom of the boot under the spare
wheel.
For access to them, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the spare wheel" on
the following page.
List of tools
1.
Wheelbrace.
For removal of the wheel trim and
removal of the wheel fi xing bolts.
2.
Jack with integral handle.
For raising the vehicle.
3.
"Bolt cover" tool.
For removal of the bolt protectors
(covers) on alloy wheels.
4.
Socket for the security bolts (located
in the glove box).
For adaptation of the wheelbrace
to the special "security" bolts.
5.
Removable towing eye.
Refer to the paragraph "Towing
the vehicle".
All of these tools are specifi c to your
vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.
Other accessories
Wheel with trim
When removing the wheel
,
detach the trim fi rst using the
wheelbrace 1
pulling at the valve
passage hole.
When refi tting the wheel
, re-
fi t the trim starting by placing its
notch facing the valve and press
around its edge with the palm of
your hand.
