should indicate the level of fuel remaining.

- With the engine running, its associated
low level warning lamp should go off.

- With the ignition on, the oil level indicator
should display "OK" or "correct",
depending on version, for a few seconds.
If the levels are not correct, top up the levels
which are low.

OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR GEARBOX


With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting
and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system,
the gear shift indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"
or
Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.



CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT

Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation,
as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

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.

has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

fi xed. The emission control system has
a fault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualifi ed
workshop without delay.




Low fuel level


fi xed with the
needle in the
red zone,
accompanied by
an audible signal
and a message. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 5 litres
of
fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the
fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning lamp
will come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this
could damage the emission control and injection systems.
