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.

MONITORING

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),
-


electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-


emergency braking assistance (EBA).
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AN d
ELECTRONIC

BRAKE FORCE d ISTRIBUTION
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal.
When
braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on, together with the
STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of contro\
l of
the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the
pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum
braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase
in braking efficiency.

SAFETY

127
RCZ_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2015
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

.

DRIVING

128
RCZ_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2015
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is \
displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.
F

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
F


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
F


In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or
the

spare wheel (according to equipment),


or
F

if you have a compressor
, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,


or
F

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
UNdER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least
0.2

bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on
the tyre pressure label. The
flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning
lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service
warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This

alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (steel spare wheel).
Go

to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked or

, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
OPERATING FAULT
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.

C. Deflation
button.
d

.
Pressure gauge (in bar and p.s.i.).
E.


Compartment housing:
-


a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket,
-

various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls,
bicycle

tyres... F. Sealant cartridge.
G.
White pipe with cap for repair
.
H. Black
pipe for inflation.
I.

Speed limit sticker
.
The speed limit sticker I
must be affixed to the vehicle's steering
wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with a
tyre repaired using this type of kit.
The vehicle's electric system allows the connection of a
compressor

for long enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture repair
or

for inflating a small inflatable accessory.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

153
RCZ_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
F Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I"
until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing). F

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep
the kit to hand.
F

Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres),

at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
F


Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not start the compressor before connecting the white pipe
to the tyre valve: the sealant product would be expelled through
the pipe.
Tyre under-inflation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection,
the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel
has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT


dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer

or

a

qualified

workshop

for

assistance.
