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 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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
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
make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide
emissions compliant to the standard.
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.

emissions control system.
During the permitted driving phase (between
685 and 0 miles (1,100 km and 0 km))
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR emissions
control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit: the starting prevention system does
not allow the engine to be started.
To be able to restart the engine, you must call
on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault with
the SCR emissions control
system
An engine immobiliser is activated
automatically after you have driven a
further 685 miles (1,100 km) following
confirmation of a fault with the SCR
emissions control system. Have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
In the event of the detection of a fault
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered while driving as soon
as the fault is detected for the first time, then
when switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after
30 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
display of the message signalling a fault),
these warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the temporary display in
the instrument cluster of NO START IN and a
distance, indicating the driving range expressed
in miles or kilometres before engine starting
is prevented – (e.g. "NO START IN 375
miles"
means "Starting will be prevented in 375
miles

Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the
key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.Do not throw away the remote control
batteries, they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while it is
in your pocket as there is a possibility that
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You risk making it inoperative. It
will then be necessary to reinitialise it again.
No remote control can operate when the key
is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition
is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle. Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer,
to ensure that only your keys can be used to
open and start the vehicle.
