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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter 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 manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
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.

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.
F
P
ress 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.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Operating fault
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 qualified
workshop to have the system checked. Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:
F
P
ress this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
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 conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black 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 difficult 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 benefit in full from the effectiveness
of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry
conditions, the vehicle must be fitted
with four snow tyres, allowing the the
vehicle to retain neutral handling on the
road.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the
level of grip permits.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle

remove the wheel trim using the
wheelbrace 5 by pulling at the valve
cut-out.
When refitting the wheel , refit the
wheel trim by placing its cut-out at the

palm of your hand. Do not use:
-
t

lifting the vehicle,
-

Practical information

F Position the foot of the jack 6 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below
one of the front A or rear B jacking points
provided on the underbody, whichever is
closest to the wheel to be changed. F
E xtend the jack until its head comes into
contact with the jacking point A or B ; the
contact zone A or B must be correctly
engaged with the middle of the head of the
jack. F
Ra ise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.
Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack
might slip or drop - Risk of injury!
Position the jack only at the jacking
point A or B under the vehicle,
ensuring that the vehicle's contact
zone is correctly centred on the head
of the jack. Otherwise there is a risk
of damage to the vehicle and the jack
might drop - Risk of injury!

After changing a wheel
To stow the punctured wheel in place
of the spare wheel, first remove the
central cover.
When driving with the "space-saver"
type spare wheel fitted, do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightness of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refit it to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
With BlueHDi versions, the punctured
wheel cannot be stowed in place of the
space-saver spare wheel.
Use a cover to protect the boot.
Snow chains must only be fitted to the
front wheels. They must not be fitted to
a "space-saver" type of spare wheel.
If you have to fit snow chains with a
"space-saver" type of spare wheel in
use on a front wheel, interchange the
front and rear wheels on that side of the
vehicle.
