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.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) 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 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.
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.

Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the following 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 qualified workshop.
Warning lampis onCauseAction / Observations
STOP fixed, alone or associated with another warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Illumination of this warning lamp is associated with a serious fault with the braking system, power steering, engine lubrication system or cooling system.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk that the engine will cut out while driving. Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service on temporarily. A minor fault has occurred for which there is no specific warning lamp.
Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen, such as, for example: - opening of the doors, boot or bonnet, - low engine oil level, - low screenwash level, - flat remote control battery, - saturation of the particle emission filter (Diesel) As soon as traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 36 mph (60 km/h) until the service warning lamp goes off. - a fault with the tyre under-inflation detection system, - ... For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
fixed. A major fault has occurred for which there is no specific warning lamp.
Identify the fault by reading the message shown on the screen and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Warning lampis onCauseAction / Observations

Engine autodiagnosis system
flashing. The engine management system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
fixed. 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 qualified workshop without delay.

Low fuel level fixed with the needle in the red zone. When it first comes on there remains approximately 6 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. This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made. Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres . Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this could damage the emission control and injection systems.

Maximum coolant temperature fixed with the needle in the red zone. The temperature of the cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping up the level, if necessary. If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Engine oil pressure fixed. There is a fault with the engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so. Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dynamic stability control (DSC/ASR)
flashing. The DSC/ASR regulation is operating. The system optimises traction and improves the directional stability of the vehicle in the event of loss of grip or trajectory.
fixed. The DSC/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop.

Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the engine oil level is no longer monitored. When the system has a fault, you should check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick (located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of " O I L" , or the display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL- -" or the display of a message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the service information.
The level shown will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
* Depending on version.
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to European standards EN 228 and EN 15376. E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15293. For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict application of the special servicing conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
