OVERVIEW

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.

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.

BATTERY
PARTICLE
FILTER ( dIESEL )
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The

battery

does

not

require

any

maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the risk of blockage of the
particle

filter.
As

soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\

f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Otherwise,

have

them

checked

by

a

PEUGEOT


dealer

or

a

qualified

workshop.

d PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary

.
A


clogged

passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace

the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this component.
