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 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 first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a check auto-test. They go off again almost immediately.
When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings.

FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning lamp comes on continuously.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned before the red
zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:


- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time, up to approximately
10 minutes,

- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:


- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Instruments and controls

After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.


Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:


- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,

- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0"
, release the
button; the spanner disappears.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information.

Oil level correct

Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"
, linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.



Trip recorder zero reset

STARTING AND STOPPING

Key

Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.


Good practice when starting


Door or bonnet open warning
lamp
If this comes on, a door or the bonnet
is not closed correctly, check!

Diesel pre-heating warning lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp comes
on for less than one second, you
can start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp
to go off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts.



Good practice when stopping


Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.

Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering
wheel gently while turning the key, without
forcing. In this position, certain accessories
can be used.

Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine turns
over, release the key.

STOP position:
steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.
STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

Deactivating the ASR / ESP systems

In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.


- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer operate.
Operating check

Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
