2012 Peugeot 508 RXH oil pressure

Hybrid system
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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 andreduce 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 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.



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 the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Coolant temperature gauge
With the hybrid system active:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B, the temperature is too high; the central STOP
warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the instrument panel screen.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
After drivin
g for a few minutes, the temperatureand 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 "MA X" mark.


On switching on the ignition or when driving, it
indicates the engine oil temperature.
With the needle in zone C
, the temperature is correct.
With the needle in zone D , the temperature is
too high.
Slow down to lower the oil temperature.

2. Infl ation )
Connect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.) Star t the vehicle again and leave the engine running.

)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), in accordance with the vehicle's
tyre pressure label (located on the left hand
door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that thepuncture has not been fully plugged; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop for assistance.)Remove and stow the kit.)Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance travelled to
approximately 120 miles (200 km).




As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOTdealer or a qualified workshop.You must inform the technician that you have used this kit. After inspection, the technician will advise you on whether
the tyre can be repaired or if it must be replaced.
)Turn the selector Ato the "air" position.)Uncoil the black pipe Hfully. )Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel.

The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the car tridge.
The sealant car tridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridgeinto the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealantcartridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers or from a qualified workshop.

Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, withoutinjecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).

)
Turn the selector Ato the "Air"
position.
) Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.)
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptorssupplied with the kit first.
) Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyrepressure label or the accessory's pressure
label. ) Remove the kit then stow it.
