Practical advice
Drive smoothly
The electrical consumption of your vehicle
depends very strongly on the route you take,
your style of driving and your speed.
In all cases, adopt a smooth driving style.
Recover energy
Driving with anticipation allows you to recover
energy and increase the range of the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excessive
energy consumption
As with any vehicle, limit the load being
carried and keep aerodynamic resistance to a
minimum (avoid windows open above 30 mph
(50 km/h), roof bars, roof box, etc.).
Excessive use of the air conditioning and
heating, particularly at low speeds, can reduce
the range of your vehicle considerably. For this
reason you should try to optimise their use.Obser ve the ser vicing and
maintenance recommendations
Check the tyre pressures regularly and
follow the schedule of ser vicing operations
recommended by the manufacturer.
Try to stay in the " Optimum" zone of the
energy consumption and generation indicator:
press the accelerator pedal progressively,
without sudden movements and, if the
conditions allow, try to drive at a steady and
moderate speed. Anticipate when you have to slow down and,
if the conditions allow, try to use deceleration
rather than braking, which will place the needle
of the energy consumption and generation
indicator in the "
Charge" zone.

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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and the roof rack 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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.) and obser ve the schedule of
operations in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions
back in line with the regulations.

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filterOil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vicing schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
An access flap allows you to change the filters.
The carbon filter filters dust continuously and
ef f i c i e nt l y.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
reduce the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details on the replacement inter vals for
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere, etc.) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving, etc.), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Bleeding water from the
Diesel filter
(Depending on the country of sale)
If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be bled. Other wise, bleed
it regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
F

T
o drain the water, unscrew the bleed screw
located on the filter.
F

O
perate it until all the water in the
transparent tube has drained, then tighten
the bleed screw again.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Specialist knowledge is
needed for any work on the system,
which can only be assured by PEUGEOT
dealers.
When accelerating after 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. This
does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
the environment.
