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.
