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 resis-
tance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a
roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use. Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter,
air fi lter, passenger compartment fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the
nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.
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.
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 con-
sumption settle down to a consistent average.

Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Warning lamp is on Cause Action/Observations
STOP fi xed, alone or
associated with
another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the screen. Illumination of the warning
lamp is associated with:
- a serious braking
system fault,
- a serious engine coolant temperature problem,
- a punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine
may cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Service temporarily.
Minor problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter
on Diesel vehicles (refer to the "Particle
emissions fi lter (Diesel)" section).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

207CC_EN_CHAP08_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
After washing the vehicle, or in hu-
mid or wintry conditions, ice can
form on the brake discs and pads
with a resulting loss of effi ciency of
the brakes. Make a few light brake
applications to defrost and dry the
brakes.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for de-
tails of the checking intervals
for this component.
Brake disc and drum wear
For any information relating
to checking of the brake disc
and/or drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the level checking intervals
for this component.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Parking brake
If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
