2015.5 Peugeot Boxer oil pressure

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, trailer...).
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
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR has a fault your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to bring the levels of nitrous oxide


emissions back into line with the regulations.
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.

Good practice
the
ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.
operation
It is triggered by the speed at which the


brake pedal is pressed.
the ef

fect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Switching off
this system cannot be deactivated by the


driver.
operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,


accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking. When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to
do so.
In either case, contact a P
eugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Driving safely

Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practiceoil filter
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 wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a P
eugeOt 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 P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked


by a P
eugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the


electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
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. Only use products recommended by
P
eugeOt or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as

important as the braking system, P
eugeOt
selects and offers specific products.
Change the filter regularly

, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
