2013 Peugeot RCZ tyres

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.

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of
the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly. Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of a problem
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

Under-inflated tyre

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message
identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
HORN


Audible warning to alert other road users to an imminent danger.


)
Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTA NCE
CALL


This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated PEUGEOT service.

For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio
equipment and telematics" section.

104
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 install a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow tyres), you must have
the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation markings" section)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic performance of the vehicle is
maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in
arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month.
Remember to also check the pressure of the spare wheel if your
vehicle has one.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience
temporary interference due to electro-magnetic signals on a
frequency close to that used by the system.


Puncture

The STOP
warning lamp comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement
of the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.



Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an alert message to identify the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, this does not have a sensor.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTA NCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).


ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal.

When braking in an emergency, press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP
and
ABS
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 loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform
to the manufacturer's recommendations.

When braking in an emergency, press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.











EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE

System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking effi ciency.

106
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the brake of one or more wheels
and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the
driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.


Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.








SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE
(INTELLIGENT TRACTION CONTROL)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.
This automatic system continuously checks for situations of diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control
limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful to
temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control and wheel anti-
slip
systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.

5/
SAFETY


Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down,
stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.


)
Press the button located in the centre of the dashboard.
Illumination of the indicator lamp in the button indicates that these
systems are deactivated.
This action also deactivates the automatic operation of the hazard
warning lamps.


Reactivation

These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is
switched back on.


)
Press the button again to reactivate them manually.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of the hazard
warning lamps.


Operating fault

These systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations on :


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The illumination of this warning lamp and the indicator lamp in
the button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, this indicates a malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop dealer.
