Motoring & the environment
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
se 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 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a P
eugeo T 
dealer or a qualified workshop 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 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.

uNDeR-INFLAtI o N   D ete C t I o N   WI t H   R e INI t IALISAt I o N
System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures 
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is 
moving.
It compares the information given by 
the four wheel speed sensors with 
reference values, which must be 
reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon 
as it detects a drop in the inflation 
pressure of one or more tyres.The under-inflation detection 
system does not replace the 
need for vigilance on the part of 
the
  driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
impairs road holding, extends braking 
distances and causes premature 
tyre wear, particularly under arduous 
condition (high loading, high speed, 
long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption. The inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the 
tyre pressure label.
For more information on the 
identification markings, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked 
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle 
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of 
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate 
speeds).
o
therwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to 
the pressures shown on the label.

To prevent the mat from becoming 
caught under the pedal:
-
 
ensure that the mat is positioned

-
 
never fit one mat on top of another

When driving, avoid leaving your hand 
on the gear knob as the force exerted, 
even if slight, may wear the internal 
components of the gearbox over time.

operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one (or more) 
gear(s). You can follow this instruction 
without engaging the intermediate 
gears.
The gear engagement 
recommendations must not be 
considered compulsory. In fact, the 
configuration of the road, the amount 
of traffic and safety remain determining 
factors when choosing the best 
gear. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
