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 ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and
obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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.

Indicator and warning lamps
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.
Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes: fixed (continuous) or
flashing.
Only by relating the type of illumination
to the operation of the vehicle can it
be determined whether the situation is
normal or a fault has occurred.
Refer to the tables on the following
pages for more information.

Service indicator
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser vice
information appears in the screen. System which informs the driver when the
next ser vice is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's ser vicing schedule.
The point at which the ser vice is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset. It
is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last ser vice.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the ser vice operations comes
on. The distance recorder display line indicates the
distance remaining before the next ser vice is due.
Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next ser vice is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off
; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next ser vice is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
to
indicate that a ser vice must be carried out
soon.
Illumination of the key is accompanied
by a message in the instrument panel
screen.

Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner flashes
to indicate that the ser vice
must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example:
the ser vice is overdue by 186 miles
(300 km).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
With Blue HDi Diesel versions, the
Service
warning lamp also comes on
when the ignition is switched on.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last ser vice, indicated in the
maintenance and warranty guide.
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be taken into account. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
.
Service indicator zero reset
After each ser vice, the ser vice indicator must
be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:
switch off the ignition,
press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
when the display indicates "=0"
, release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Retrieving the service
information
You can access the ser vice information at any
time.
Press the trip distance recorder zero reset
button.
The ser vice information is displayed for a few
seconds, then disappears.
