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.

Instruments and controls


EMISSIONS CONTROLS

EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised emissions of:


- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
DETECTION
Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the event
of under-inflation, a puncture or a fault with
a sensor.
Any anomaly is indicated by visual and
audible information and is accompanied by a
message in the screen.

Deflated tyre

The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-inflation of
the tyre will not necessarily be visible.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.


Puncture

The STOP warning lamp comes on.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding
any sudden movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Make a temporary repair to the tyre using the
puncture repair kit or by fi tting the spare wheel.
Change the damaged wheel, and have the tyre
pressures checked as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.
If the damaged wheel is replaced by one
without a sensor (for example, the spare
wheel), the message is maintained to indicate
that the pressure of the wheel cannot be
monitored, so providing a reminder that the
damaged wheel with sensor must be repaired.


Sensor(s) fault or not detected

The Service warning lamp comes on.
When changing a wheel or in the event of a
sensor fault, the tyre pressure is no longer
monitored. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).

Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Good practice

This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

The kit is located at the left hand rear of the
vehicle.
The temporary puncture repair kit consists
of a compressor and a cartridge (containing
a sealant).

Using the kit



- switch off the ignition,

- affix the speed limitation sticker to the
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use,

- check that the switch A
is at position " 0
",

- connect the pipe of the bottle 1
to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired,

- connect the compressor's electrical plug
to the vehicle's 12V socket,

- start the vehicle and let the engine run,

- switch on the compressor by pressing
the switch A
to position " 1
" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,
- remove the compressor, unclip and
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid,

- drive immediately, for approximately
two miles (three kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture,

- stop to check the repair and the
pressure,

Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to ten
minutes, you are not able to obtain
this pressure, the tyre cannot be
repaired; contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop for roadside
assistance.
