2014 Peugeot RCZ fuel pressure

RCZ_EN_CHAP00B_PRISE EN MAIN_ED02-2013
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.

ACCESS
CLOSING
The window rises automatically after a few seconds and adjusts to
provide perfect sealing when closed. - when the engine is running , this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by a message in the screen for a few seconds,
CENTRAL LOCKING CONTROL
This control permits simultaneous locking or unlocking of the doors,
boot lid and fuel fi ller fl ap from inside the vehicle.
Locking
 Press this button to lock the vehicle.
The red indicator lamp on the button comes on.
If one of the doors or the boot lid is open, the central locking from
the inside does not take place.
Unlocking
 Press this button again to unlock the vehicle.
The red indicator lamp on the button goes off.
Locking / deadlocking from the outside
When the vehicle is locked or deadlocked from the outside, the
red indicator lamp fl ashes and the button is inactive.
 With normal locking, pull on the interior door control lever to unlock the vehicle.
 With deadlocking, you have to use the remote control or the key to unlock the vehicle.
When washing your vehicle:
- fi rst lock the vehicle using the remote control or the key,
- avoid spraying the upper part of the windows,
- keep the end of the high pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from
the windows and door seals.
When a door is not closed correctly:
Be aware of the risk of pinching when the window rises
automatically on closing the door.
- when the vehicle is moving (speed higher than 6 mph (10 km/h)),
this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen for a few seconds.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in
one or more tyres.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a each tyres (except the
spare wheel). This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed,
long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while
driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as
soon as the vehicle is moving.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identifi cation markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated
on the label.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.

DIESEL FUEL ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH
PARTICLE EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message that the particle emissions fi lter additive level is
too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
USED PRODUCTS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hou\
r
after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the \
pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP WASH FLUID
In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fl uid is
recommended.

MATT PAINT
If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer. Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of
these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or
stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax
cycle. From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the
"TECHNATURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks
(for example: fi nger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a
water hose with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and
used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a
soft cloth, then leave to dry.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper support.
For access to it, raise the plastic cover. C. Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-destroying label affi xed to the
door aperture, below the door striker, on the right-hand side.
This label also indicates the unladen weight, the gross vehicle weight (GVW) and the gross train weight (GVW).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at
least once a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
B. VIN on the windscreen lower cross member.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen. D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the door aperture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden and unladen,
- the tyre sizes,
- the infl ation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
