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 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.
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 wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down \
to a consistent average.

SAFETY
RCZ_EN_CHAP05_SECURITE_ED02-2013
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down,
stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine
and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
This action also deactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6 litre THP 270 hp version).
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is
switched back on.
You can also reactivate them manually:
Press this button again.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6 litre THP 270 hp version).
Operating fault DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased safety in normal
driving, but they should not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
It is in diffi cult driving conditions (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of
loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to
keep the DSC and ASR systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in diffi cult conditions.
The correct operation of these systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the
wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the
assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefi t in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR
systems in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fi tted with four
snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on
the road. Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the
deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, indicate a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRED *
Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt fi nishers (covers) on alloy wheels.
* Depending on the country of sale, the vehicle may be equipped with the tools needed to change a wheel and a spare wheel (see following
pages).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
REMOVING THE WHEEL
Place the jack in contact with one of the two front A or rear B
locations provided on the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed. Raise the vehicle until there is suffi cient space between the wheel
and the ground to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel easily.
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the cover on each of the bolts using the bolt cover removal
tool.
Fit the security socket on the wheelbrace to slacken the security bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace only. Extend the jack until its base plate is in contact with the ground.
Ensure that the centreline of the jack base plate is directly below
the location A or B used.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOOLS AND SPARE WHEEL *
Depending on the country of sale, the vehicle is equipped with the tools\
needed to change a wheel and may also be equipped with a spare
wheel.
The spare wheel is stowed in a protective cover, secured to the boot
fl oor with Velcro
®.
The tools are held in a storage box under the boot fl oor.
Never drive with the rear seat folded when the
spare wheel - or a punctured wheel - is present
in the boot.
Warning marking
"Do not release the backrest of the rear seats!"
* According to country.
Access to the spare wheel *
Open the boot lid.
Remove the spare wheel by grasping the grip of its protective cover.
Position the wheel vertically so as to read the warning markings.
Remove the Velcro
® located on the tyre tread.
Detach the straps, located on each sidewall, then slacken them.
Remove the wheel from its protective cover.
When refi tting the wheel into its cover, place it so that the valve is
opposite the strap fi xings.
