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.
l
imit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof \
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...).
u se 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:
-

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,
passenger compartment filter...) 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 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.

SERVICE INDICATORENGINE OIL WARNING LAMP
L IGHTING DIMMER
the dimmer is active when the sidelamps
are on.
Refer to the list of checks in the

warranty and maintenance record
which was given to you on delivery of
the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the screen returns to its
usual functions.
u

se these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument
panel and the audio system panel
lighting.
t

he screen in the instrument panel
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the Manufacturer's
servicing schedule indicated in the warranty
and maintenance record.

travelled since the previous service. Low engine oil pressure
Oil deterioration (1.3 HDi 75 hp engine only)
t

he warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel
screen, when the system detects
that the oil pressure is too low.
t

he warning lamp flashes,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, when the
system detects deterioration of the
engine oil.
t

he flashing of this warning lamp
should not be considered as a fault wit the
vehicle, but rather as an indication to the
driver that the normal use of the vehicle now
requires that the oil be changed.
If the oil is not changed, when a
second level of deterioration is
reached, the emissions warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine speed is restricted to
3000 rpm.
to avoid damaging the engine, it is

recommended that the oil be changed
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so: park,
switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1500 rpm, so as to
avoid any damage.

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),
-


electronic brake force distribution

(
e BFD),
-

emergency braking assistance (
e BA).Activation
t

he anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency
, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
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. 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.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Good practice
t
he 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. In either case, contact a P euge O t
dealer

or a qualified workshop.
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.

Engine coolant level
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As this fan
can operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Topping up
t
he level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power steering fluid level
the vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. u nscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from P
euge O t
dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately


3
litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
P
euge
O
t
dealer or a qualified workshop as


soon as possible.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground, but
into the containers provided for this purpose
at P
euge O t
dealers (France) or at an

authorised waste disposal site.

In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
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.
