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.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
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.

Checks

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
A = M A X
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Checking using the dipstick
B = M I N
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely. - Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth. - Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B .

Checks209
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Topping up the engine oil level
Oil grade The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture. - Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire). - Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick. - Add more oil if necessary. - After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation. In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
12 V battery The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement intervals for these components. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary . if necessary . if necessary A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement interval for this component.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multi-function screen. As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off. If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.

Checks

Brake disc wear
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the level checking interval for this component.
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
