2012 PEUGEOT 308 fuel pressure

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.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS


Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations








Engine
autodiagnosis
system


fi xed. The emission control system
has 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.

fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault.
Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.






Low fuel
level


fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
6 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.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a suffi cient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.





Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down
before topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.






Engine oil
pressure


fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.







Dynamic
stability
control
(ESP/ASR)

fl ashing. The ESP/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and
improves the directional stability of the
vehicle.

fi xed. Unless it has been
deactivated (button pressed
and its indicator lamp on) the
ESP/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a
qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING







6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX

As a safety precaution and to fa-
cilitate starting of the engine: Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.

Engaging 5th or 6th gear



)
Move the lever fully to the right to
engage 5th or 6th gear.


* According to engine.












GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form
of an arrow in the instrument panel
screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.

This equipment will become available
during the year.

- always select neutral,

- press the clutch pedal.


Engaging reverse gear



)
Raise the ring under the knob and
move the gear lever to the left then
forwards.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Engine compartment fuses

The fusebox is placed in the engine
compartment near the battery (left-hand
side).

Access to the fuses


)
Unclip the cover.

)
Change the fuse (see correspond-
ing paragraph).

)
When you have fi nished, close the
cover carefully to ensure correct
sealing of the fusebox.

TECHNICAL DATA























IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation and tracing of your vehicle.

Low tyre pressures increase
fuel consumption.

The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.


A.
Vehicle Identifi cation Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the
bodywork near the damper support.
B.

Vehicle identifi cation Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.

C.
Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-
destroying label affi xed to the door
aperture, on the driver's side.
D.
Tyre/paint label.

This label is fi tted to the door aperture
or middle pillar, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures with and
without load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare
wheel,

- the paint colour code.
