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...). u
s
e 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:

-

-

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 manufacturer's service schedule.

without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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.

Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: Intelligent Traction Control.
th
is automatic system continuously checks
for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that
could make it difficult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud…), it can be useful to temporarily
deactivate the wheel anti-slip regulation
system to allow a degree of wheel spin and so
recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on
sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
Operation
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
th

e fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (
eB

FD).
the vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.

Tyre under-inflation detection
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.
th

e tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th

e system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
th

is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) 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). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
th

e 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).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on identification
markings, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

the loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
th
e alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
th

e spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
the alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it.

Operating fault
the flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by the

lamp indicates a fault with the system.
th

is alert is also displayed when one or more
wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example,
a space-saver or steel spare wheel).

or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

wheels.

type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.

top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
For more information on snow chains,
contact a P

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
