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.

yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y 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.

Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalentquality and specification.
In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offersvery specific products.
