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.

Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed with the needle
in the red zone. There remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel
reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of
fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
flashing with the
needle in the red
zone.
There remains very little fuel in the
tank.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
+ flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected
on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Monitoring

130
2008_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2015
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Under-inflation alert

this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.

braking

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
A label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.

F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this
button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains. Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Reinitialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.

Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

This kit is installed in the storage box, under the
boot floor.
The temporary puncture repair kit consists of
a compressor and a sealant cartridge allowing
the temporary repair
of a tyre so that you can
drive to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
You can also use the compressor, without
injection of sealant, to check and if necessary
adjust the pressures of your tyres.
Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.
The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory.
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.
Composition of the kit
1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure
gauge.
2.
