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.

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.

on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
to remove the water
, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out.
t
hen tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a P euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
t
he replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
u
nless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t
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
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
t
he presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the

with special technology and specification.
t
he involvement of a P
euge
O
t
dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks -

O
t
dealers have.
