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...). u
s
e 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...) and
observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
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.

the tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th
e system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system. t
h
is
reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
th

e system operates on condition that sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for example: wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th
is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings"
section).
th

e 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).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

Managing sets of tyres
If you have had a second set of tyres registered
by a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop,
every time you change the set of tyres (fitting
a set of winter tyres, for example), you must
select the set you have just fitted in the
configuration menu.
After fitting the new set of tyres, you
should check and adjust the tyre
pressures to the values specified
on the tyre pressure label (see the
"Identification markings" section). Selection of the other set of tyres is is done via
the menu screen, with the ignition on and the
vehicle stationary.
F

P
ress repeatedly on the INFO button to
select the menu for managing sets of tyres
(located in menu 3/3) .
F Press and hold the INFO button for at least
3 seconds to change successively from
set of tyres 1 to set of tyres 2 or the other
way round.
the
system automatically reinitialises
the reference pressure based on the
pressure in the new set (the under-
inflation detection warning lamp flashes
during the operation).
