  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, passenger 
compartment filter...) 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 
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.

 FUEL  GAUGE 
 The fuel level is tested each time the key is 
turned to the "running" position. 
 The gauge is positioned on: 
   -    1:  the fuel tank is full, approximately 80 litres. 
  -    0:  the reserve is now being used, the  warning lamp comes on continuously.
 COOLANT  TEMPERATURE 
  The needle is positioned before the red 
zone:  normal operation. 
 In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic 
conditions, the needle may move close to 
the red graduations.    What you should do if the warning lamp 
comes on:
  
   -   stop immediately, switch off the ignition.  The fan may continue to operate for 
a certain time, up to approximately 
10 minutes, 
  -   wait for the engine to cool down in order  to check the coolant level and top it up if 
necessary.  
 Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.    What you should do if the needle enters 
the red zone:
  
 Reduce your speed or let the engine run at 
idle.   Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 6. 
The reserve when the warning first comes 
on is approximately 8 litres.    As the cooling system is pressurised, follow 
this advice in order to avoid any risk of 
scalding: 
   -   wait at least one hour after switching off 
the engine before carrying out any work, 
  -   unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the  pressure to drop, 
  -   when the pressure has dropped, check  the level on the expansion bottle, 
  -   if necessary, remove the cap to top up.  
 If the needle remains in the red zone, have 
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.

 When the display shows  "=0" ,  release 
the button; the spanner disappears. 
 After this operation, if you wish to disconnect 
the battery, lock the vehicle and wait for at 
least five minutes, otherwise the zero re-set 
will not be registered.  
  Zero  re-set 
 Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop carries out this operation after 
each service. 
 However, if you carry out the service 
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows: 
   -   switch  off  the  ignition, 
  -   press and hold the trip recorder reset  button, 
  -   switch  on  the  ignition.  
 The display begins a countdown. 
  Engine oil level indicator 
 Depending on your vehicle's engine, when 
the ignition is switched on, the engine oil 
level is indicated for a few seconds, after the 
service information. 
  Oil  level  correct  
  Low  oil  level 
 Flashing of  "OIL" ,  linked 
with the service warning 
lamp, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message in the 
screen, indicates a low oil level which could 
damage the engine. 
 If the low oil level is confirmed by a check 
using the dipstick, it is essential that the 
level is topped up.  
  Oil level gauge fault 
 Flashing of  "OIL--"  
indicates a malfunction 
of the engine oil level 
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
 The level read will only be correct if 
the vehicle is on level ground and the 
engine has been off for more than 
30  minutes.     Dipstick 
  A
  = maximum, never exceed 
this level as a surplus of oil may 
damage the engine. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop without delay. 
  B   = minimum, top up the level via 
the oil filler cap, using the grade 
of oil suited to your engine.

 STARTING  AND  STOPPING 
  Key 
 Take care to prevent the key from coming 
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a 
damp environment. 
 A heavy object attached to the key (key 
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the 
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.

  Minimise engine and gearbox wear 
 To ensure the correct operation and long 
life of your engine and gearbox, when the 
ambient temperature is below -23°C, it is 
necessary to leave the engine idling for 
four  minutes.  
 In cold weather, wait for the warning lamp 
to go off, then operate the starter (Starting

 ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) 
 These systems are linked and complement 
the ABS. 
 The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding 
losses of control of the vehicle on 
acceleration. 
 The system optimises drive to prevent the 
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of 
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also 
allows the directional stability of the vehicle 
to be improved on acceleration.  If there is a variation between the trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required by 
the driver, the DSC system automatically 
acts on the engine and the brake of one 
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle 
back on course. 
  Deactivation 
 In certain exceptional conditions (starting 
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or 
on loose ground...), it could prove useful 
to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems to 
make the wheels spin and regain grip. 
  Operating  fault 
  Good  practice 
 The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but should not 
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive 
at high speed. 
 The operation of these systems is assured 
only if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and fitting and repair 
procedures are observed. 
 After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified  workshop.  
 Use the DSC to hold your course without 
attempting to countersteer. 
  Operation 
 The warning lamp flashes when 
operation of the ASR or DSC is 
triggered.  
   They engage again:   
   -   automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), 
  -   manually  by  pressing  the  button  again.      When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning 
lamp and the LED come on, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked. 
 The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure 
of each tyre.  
   -   Press  the  button,  located  on  the centre console. 
  -   The LED comes on: the ASR  and DSC systems no longer 
operate.
