RCZ_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015
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.

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015
Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.

raise the spoiler to the maximum position B

by pressing the button
briefly,
F

once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold
the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order

housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING F AULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen.

As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
F

stop where it is safe to do so,
F


switch of
f the ignition,
F

switch the ignition on again.
If

the indicator lamp no longer flashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation.

To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If
the indicator lamp flashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty

.
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler)\
, the
indicator
lamp in the control button flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).

it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing. Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.

F press

the

button

briefly:

the

indicator

lamp

on

the

position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.
