Limit the causes of excessconsumption

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 refit 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 filter, air filter...) 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
overflow.

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.

is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then 1 500 rpm
until the oil change is done. Have the engine
oil changed to avoid any risk of damage.

Driving safely


HORN

Press the centre of the steering wheel.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to steer the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved. If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Levels

LEVELS

These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Ask for advice at a PEUGEOT dealer
or consult the servicing booklet enclosed in
the handbook pack. To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.



Changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.

Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at
PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.


Warning lamps

Checking by means of the warning
lamps on the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.

Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

CHECK
S
Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.


Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground with
the engine cold. Unscrew the cap integrated with
the gauge and check the level which must be
between the MIN
and MAX
marks.
Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Topping up

The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer.


Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
