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.
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, cabin 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 oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.
For vehicles fitted with it, avoid using the
Dynamic Pack for too long, in order to limit
your fuel consumption.

Advice
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 press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The

K
eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering wheel to
engage the steering lock. Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic
key
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's registration document, your
personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
Back-up procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key
