2012 Peugeot Partner 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
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 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.

FUEL GAUGE 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 needle
enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.

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.
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 qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 6. 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 60 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used,
the warning lamp comes on
continuously. The reserve when
the warning fi rst comes on is
approximately 8 litres.

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.

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
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fi tted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you
must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.



TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION



- 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 specifi c 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 qualifi ed
workshop.
EMISSIONS CONTROLS
Deflated tyre

The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-infl ation
of the tyre will not necessarily be
visible.
Check the tyre pressure 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. Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the
event of under-infl ation, a puncture or
a fault with a sensor.
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:
Any anomaly is indicated
by visual and audible
information and is
accompanied by a
message in the screen.

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.
