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 
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 to a 
consistent average.

CHECKS 
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 Brake pads
 
Brake pad wear depends on the style of 
driving, in particular for vehicles which are 
used in town, over short distances. It may 
be necessary to check the thickness of the 
pads, even between services. 
  Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
 
 
Brake disc / drum wear 
 
For any information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 Parking brake
 
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
  Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Oil filter 
 
Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.  
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter 
 
The carbon filter permits continuous and 
effective filtering of dust. 
  If the passenger compartment filter becomes 
clogged, this may reduce the performance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
unpleasant odours. 
  We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. By means of 
its second special active filter, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of 
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
  Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet 
to find out the replacement interval for these 
components. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary. 
   
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
 
This filter actively contributes 
to the preservation of air quality 
by trapping unburnt polluting 
particles. It is controlled 
completely and automatically by the engine 
management system. 
  This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk 
of blockage of the filter. 
  This alert signals the start of saturation of 
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally 
prolonged driving in urban conditions: 
reduced speed, traffic jams…). 
  If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  On acceleration after the vehicle has been 
running for a prolonged period at very low 
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional 
circumstances, notice the emission of water 
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour 
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment. 
  To regenerate the filter, it is recommended 
that as soon as driving conditions permit, 
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph 
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the 
warning lamp goes off and/or the message 
disappears). 
  Refer to "Under the bonnet" in 
section 6.

Checks 
Manual gearbox
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer 
to the pages of the servicing and warranty 
booklet which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
  After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.     
 
1.6 litre HDi  
   
2 litre HDi  
 
 
 Bleeding the water contained in theDiesel filter 
 
If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the end of the transparent 
pipe. 
  Operate until all of the water in the 
transparent pipe has been drained out then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified 
workshop for all work on the system.     During this regeneration, you may notice 
that the idling speed is higher than normal 
and that the cooling fan is running. As 
operation of the exhaust emissions controls 
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 
reach very high levels, it is recommended 
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).
