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.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD) 
 
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability 
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on 
braking, in particular on poor or slippery 
surfaces. 
  The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, 
the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel. 
Good practice 
  The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance. 
  On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...) 
the ABS may increase the braking distance. 
When braking in an emergency, do not 
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly, 
without releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able to 
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid 
an obstacle. 
  Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by 
slight vibration of the brake pedal. 
  When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are recommended by 
PEUGEOT.   If this warning lamp comes on, 
together with the brake and STOP 
warning lamps, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution which 
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle 
on braking. 
   
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
 
EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
  In an emergency, this system enables the 
optimum braking pressure to be reached more 
quickly, press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it. 
  It is triggered by the speed at which the brake 
pedal is activated. 
  This alters the resistance of the brake pedal under 
your foot.    If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the ABS 
which could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking.   In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.  
  To prolong the operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system: keep your foot 
on the brake pedal.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (DSC)
  These systems are linked and complement 
the ABS. 
  The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding 
losses of control of the vehicle on 
acceleration. 
  The system optimises drive to prevent the 
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of 
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also 
allows the directional stability of the vehicle 
to be improved on acceleration.   If there is a variation between the trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required by 
the driver, the DSC system automatically 
acts on the engine and the brake of one 
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle 
back on course. Deactivating the ASR/DSC systems 
  In certain exceptional conditions (starting 
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or 
on loose ground...), it could prove useful 
to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems to 
make the wheels spin and regain grip. 
   
 
-   Press the button, located on the centre 
console. 
   
-   The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR 
and DSC systems no longer operate.     
Operating check 
 
 
Good practice
 
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but should not 
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive 
at high speed. 
  The operation of these systems is assured 
only if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and fitting and repair 
procedures are observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
Operation of the ASR and DSC systems
 
The LED flashes when 
the ASR or DSC is 
triggered.  
   
They engage again: 
   
 
-   automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), 
   
-   manually by pressing the button again.  
   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning lamp 
comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in 
the screen. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked. 
  The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure 
of each tyre.  
 
  Use the DSC to hold your course without 
attempting to countersteer.

Towing a trailer 
  You should therefore use a high gear to 
lower the engine speed and reduce your 
speed. 
  In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.     
Ty r e s  
  Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle (see the "Identification markings" 
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer, 
observing the recommended pressures. 
   Towbar 
 
We recommend the use of genuine 
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle, and that 
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using 
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the 
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with 
the manufacturer's instructions. 
  In accordance with the general instructions 
a reminder of which has been given above, 
we draw your attention to the risk associated 
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory 
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting 
such equipment could result in the failure 
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please 
obtain information from the Manufacturer 
before fitting this type of equipment.     If the coolant temperature warning 
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle 
and switch off the engine as soon 
as possible. 
   
Good Practice 
 
In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case,  the air conditioning is automatically 
cut off to save engine power. 
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.    
Brakes  
  Towing increases the braking distance. Drive 
at a moderate speed, change down early 
and brake gradually. 
   
Side wind  
  Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive 
smoothly and at a moderate speed. 
   
ABS/DSC  
  The ABS or DSC systems only control the 
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan. 
   
Rear parking sensors  
  The parking sensors system does not 
function while the vehicle is towing.   

Repairing a wheel
QUICK HELP

  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.
