2013 Peugeot 208 fuel pressure

Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in thebottom 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 par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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 toa consistent average.

Practical information














Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the ser vicing booklet.
Matt paint


We recommend the use of a high pressurejet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using
de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.
It must be clean and used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the
bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenanceproducts in the "TECHNATURE" range
recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo,
which are the only products to be used on the
bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to removeminor marks (for example: finger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
I
f you vehicle is finished with a clear matt
lacquer, please obser ve the followingrecommendations to avoid damaging thepaintwork by the use of an inappropriate
cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water. Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the paintwork shiny.Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving products (such as wax, for example) onthe paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Application of these products on vehicles with amatt finish will seriously damage thepaint sur face of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or stained areas.Never use a high pressure jet wash with
a lance fitted with a brush, this may scratch the paintwork. Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.

Technical data























Identifi cation markings
A.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodyworknear the damper suppor t.

The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least oncea month.


Low tyre pressures increase fuelconsumption.
B.Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
C.Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the middle pillar, on the
passenger's side.
D.Tyre/paint label. This label is fitted to the middle pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the
following information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the tyre sizes,

- the in
flation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code. Various visible markin
gs for the identification of your vehicle.
