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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) 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 overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

FUEL GAUGE COOLANT TEMPERATURE


The needle is positioned before the
red zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations.
What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.

What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:



- stop immediately, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,

- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:


- wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before
carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.

If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of

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
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fi tted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
If when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you
must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.



TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION



- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specifi c 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 qualifi ed
workshop.
EMISSIONS CONTROLS
Deflated tyre

The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-infl ation
of the tyre will not necessarily be
visible.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
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. Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the
event of under-infl ation, a puncture or
a fault with a sensor. EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised
emissions of:
Any anomaly is indicated
by visual and audible
information and is
accompanied by a
message in the screen.

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.

HILL START ASSIST

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message
in the screen. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked. This function, linked with the ESC,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assist function is a driving comfort
system. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.

The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.
This speed limiter shows the function

The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as

Driving safely
(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. 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.
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.
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.
To prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.

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 fi rmly, 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.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
