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:
-

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-of

f 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.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each of these tyres.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or\

more tyres.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures
regularly 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).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while
driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as
soon as the vehicle is moving.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section).
The 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). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated
on the label.
Spare wheel
Don't forget to also check the tyre pressure of the spare wheel.
The alloy spare wheel also has a sensor.
The steel spare wheel does not have a sensor.
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

dIESEL FUEL A dd ITIVE LEVEL ( dIESEL WITH
P

ARTICLE FILTER )
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message
that the particle filter additive level is too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
USEd PROdUCTS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do
not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take
used oil to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAx" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hou\
r
after switching of
f the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the \
pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
SCREENWASH AN d HEA d LAMP WASH FLUI d
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid
level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
T

op up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water .
In
wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is
recommended.

MATT PAINT
If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished
with

clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These
products are only suitable for bright finishes.
Application
of
these

products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or
stained areas.
Never

use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fitted with a
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.
Never

select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax
cycle. From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the
"TECHNA

TURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks
(for
example: finger marks...).
Always
have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
W

e recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a
water hose with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use
only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and
used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe of

f any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a
soft cloth, then leave to dry.
