AT A GLANCE
  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 serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air 
filter, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the 
warranty and maintenance record.    
  When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 
rd  cut-off of the nozzle 
to avoid any overflow.  
  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.

 SERVICE  INDICATOR 
 For a few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the spanner symbolising the 
service indicator comes on: the screen 
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the servicing schedule 
indicated in the warranty and maintenance 
record. This information is determined in 
relation to the distance travelled since the 
previous service. 
 After a few seconds, the display returns to 
its usual functions.  A long press returns you to the main menu. 
  Refer to the "Technology on board - 
Vehicle configuration" section.   
  Deterioration of the engine oil 
 Refer to the list of checks in the 
warranty and maintenance record 
which was given to you on handover of 
the vehicle. 
  Reminder of servicing information 
 At any time, to access the service indicator, 
press briefly on the MODE button. 
 Use the up/down arrows to see the 
scheduling and engine oil wear information. 
 Pressing  the  MODE button again allows you

with the 1 st , comes on in the 
instrument panel when the oil 
has not been changed and the 
deterioration of the oil has reached another 
threshold. To avoid the risk of damage, have 
the oil changed without waiting for this level.   The warning lamp flashing and,

Have the oil changed as soon as possible. 
 For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine speed 
is restricted to 3 000 rpm, then 1 500 rpm 
until the oil change is done. Have the engine 
oil changed to avoid any risk of damage.

CHECKS
Levels and checks
  Manual  gearbox 
 Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Good  practice 
 To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the warranty and maintenance 
record which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
 Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
 In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  Oil  filter 
 Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Brake  pads 
 Brake pad wear depends on the style of 
driving, in particular for vehicles which are 
used in town, over short distances. It may 
be necessary to check the thickness of the 
pads, even between services. 
  Brake  disc/drum wear status 
 For any information relating to checking 
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
  Parking  brake 
 Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
 Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
have the brake pad wear checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified  workshop.    In order to avoid damaging the 
electrical units, high pressure washing 
to clean the engine compartment is strictly 
prohibited. 
 After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.
