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.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
 
The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specific 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 qualified workshop.   EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system 
which complies with, among 
others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   
 
-   CO (carbon monoxide), 
   
-   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
   
-   NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.  
DETECTION 
 
Sensors continuously monitor the tyre 
pressures and trigger a warning in the event 
of under-inflation, a puncture or a fault with 
a sensor. 
  Any anomaly is indicated by visual and 
audible information and is accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
   
Deflated tyre 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  Following a warning, the under-inflation of 
the tyre will not necessarily be visible. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.  
 
 
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 qualified workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s).   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.

Instruments and controls  
 
  The points at which a service is due are 
calculated from the last indicator zero reset. 
  The point at which a service is due is 
determined by two parameters: 
   
 
-   the distance travelled, 
   
-   the time which has elapsed since the 
last service.    A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal operation 
showing the total and trip distances.  
   
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next 
service is due 
  Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of 
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed: 
  A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total 
distance recorder resumes normal operation 
and the spanner remains on. This indicates 
that a service should be carried out shortly.     The distance remaining before the next 
service may be weighted by the time 
factor, depending on the type of driving.     
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next 
service is due 
   
Example: 
 4 800 miles/km remain before 
the next service is due. When the ignition 
is switched on and for a few seconds, the 
screen shows: 
SERVICE INDICATOR
  This programmes service intervals according 
to the use of the vehicle.  
   
Operation 
  A few moments after the ignition has been 
switched on, the spanner indicating a 
service operation comes on; the display for 
the total distance recorder gives (in round 
figures) the distance remaining before the 
next service.    All repairs and changing of tyres on 
a wheel fitted with this system must 
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
   
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.     If when changing a tyre, you fit a 
wheel not detected by your vehicle 
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must 
have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
   
The tyre under-inflation detection system 
is a driving aid which does not take the 
place of vigilance or the responsibility of 
the driver.

  PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT 
 
The kit is located at the left hand rear of the 
vehicle. 
  The temporary puncture repair kit consists 
of a compressor and a cartridge (containing 
a sealant). 
Using the kit 
   
 
-   switch off the ignition, 
   
-   affix the speed limitation sticker to the 
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you 
that a wheel is in temporary use, 
   
-   check that the switch  A 
 is at position " 0 
", 
   
-   connect the pipe of the bottle  1 
 to the 
valve of the tyre to be repaired, 
   
-   connect the compressor's electrical plug 
to the vehicle's 12V socket, 
   
-   start the vehicle and let the engine run, 
   
-   switch on the compressor by pressing 
the switch  A 
 to position " 1 
" until the tyre 
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,     
-   remove the compressor, unclip and 
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid 
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid, 
   
-   drive immediately, for approximately 
two miles (three kilometres), at reduced 
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and 
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture, 
   
-   stop to check the repair and the 
pressure, 
  Vehicles supplied with a temporary 
puncture repair kit do not have a spare 
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to ten 
minutes, you are not able to obtain 
this pressure, the tyre cannot be repaired; 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop for roadside assistance.

CHANGING A WHEEL
 
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare 
wheel located underneath the vehicle, follow 
these instructions. 
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
   
 
-   You must ensure that the occupants 
get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe 
location. 
   
-   If possible, park the vehicle on level, 
stable and non-slippery ground. 
   
-   Apply the parking brake, switch off the 
ignition and engage first or reverse gear. 
   
-   If available, place a chock under the 
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be 
changed.  
  On certain types of ground and/or if heavy 
loads are being transported, the vehicle 
must be raised in order to disengage 
the spare wheel from the carrier. Call a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  If your vehicle is fitted with suspension 
with pneumatic height correction, 
please deactivate the system. Refer to the 
"Rear suspension" section of chapter 3.  
 
 
 
-   If fitted on your vehicle, open the 
plastic flap located at the rear left of the 
vehicle. 
   
-   Unscrew the nut then take out the jack 
and the wheelbrace.

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN
 
According to country, the removable snow 
screen is installed on the lower part of the 
front bumper to prevent the accumulation of 
snow at the radiator cooling fan. 
   
FITTING
 
 
 
-   Offer up the snow screen facing its 
centring pin  A 
 on the front bumper. 
   
-   Put it in place by pressing at each clip  B 
 
located in the four corners.  
 
  Do not forget to remove the snow screen 
when the exterior temperature is higher than 
10°C (no risk of snowfall) and when towing. 
   
REMOVAL 
 
 
 
-   Pass a screwdriver into the hole located 
near each of the clips. 
   
-   Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip 
the four clips  B 
 in turn.  
 
 
 
6.  REFITTING THE REPAIREDWHEEL
 
The wheel is refitted as described in step 5, 
not forgetting to refit the wheel trim. 
  Refer to the "Identification markings" 
section of chapter 8 to locate the tyre 
label. 
  The spare wheel is not designed to 
be used over long distances. Have 
the tightening of the bolts and the tyre 
pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop as soon as possible. 
Also, have the original wheel repaired and 
refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.

Snow chains  
 
SNOW CHAINS
 
 
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the 
vehicle when braking. 
   
The snow chains must be fitted only to 
the driving wheels. They must never be 
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.  
   
Take account of the legislation in force 
in your country on the use of snow 
chains and the maximum running speed 
authorised.   
 
Advice on installation 
 
 
 
 ) 
  If you have to fit the chains during 
a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat 
surface on the side of the road. 
   
 ) 
  Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks to prevent movement of 
your vehicle. 
   
 ) 
  Fit the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer. 
   
 ) 
  Move off gently and drive for a few 
moments, without exceeding 30 mph 
(50 km/h). 
   
 ) 
  Stop your vehicle and check that the 
snow chains are correctly tightened.  
 
   
Avoid driving on roads that have been 
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging 
your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It 
is recommended that before you leave, you 
practise fitting the snow chains on a level 
and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with 
alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain 
or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.  
     
 
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to 
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle: 
  For more information on snow chains, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
