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.

Indicators
Service indicator
This adjusts the ser vice inter val based on the 
vehicle usage.
Operation
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the spanner indicating a ser vice operation 
comes on. The distance recorder display line 
indicates the distance remaining before the 
next ser vice is due (rounded up by default).
The ser vice due dates are calculated from the 
last reset of the ser vice indicator.
The due date is determined based on two 
parameters:
- 
t
 he total distance travelled,
-
 
t
 he time since the last ser vice.The distance remaining may be weighted 
by the time factor, depending on the type 
of driving.
More than 1,000 miles/km remain 
b efore the next ser vice is due
Example:  there are 4,800   miles/km remaining 
before the next ser vice is due. For a few 
seconds after the ignition is switched on, the 
screen indicates:
Less than 1,000 miles/km remain 
b efore the next ser vice is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a 
few seconds, the spanner symbol flashes and 
the distance remaining is displayed:
Service overdue
Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner symbol 
flashes and the excess 
distance travelled is displayed.
With the engine running, the spanner symbol 
remains on until the ser vice has been per formed.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert is also 
accompanied by the continuous illumination of 
the Ser vice warning lamp when the ignition is 
switched on.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the spanner 
can also come on early, according to the 
degree of deterioration of the engine oil. 
The degree of deterioration of the engine 
oil depends on the driving conditions in 
which the vehicle is used.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the oil level is displayed, depending on 
the version, and then the distance recorder 
resumes its normal operation, indicating the 
total and trip distances.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched 
on, the oil level is displayed, depending on 
the version, and then the distance recorder  resumes its normal operation. The spanner 
symbol remains on as a reminder that a ser vice

Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS/EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, 
and the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel.
The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance.
On very slippery sur faces (ice, oil, etc.), the 
ABS may increase the braking distance. When 
braking in an emergency, do not hesitate to 
press the brake pedal firmly without releasing 
the pressure, even on a slippery sur face; you 
will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the 
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.If this warning lamp comes on 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the ABS 
which could result in a loss of control 
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on 
together with the brake and STOP 
warning lamps, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution, 
which could result in a loss of control 
of the vehicle when braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking 
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to 
reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal 
under your foot.To maintain operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system, press very 
firmly on the brake pedal, maintaining this 
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt 
by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved by 
P E U G E O T.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) 
and electronic stability 
c ont rol  (ESC)
These systems are associated with and 
complementary to the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for maintaining 
optimum traction and avoiding loss of control of 
the vehicle during acceleration.
This system optimises traction to prevent the 
wheels from skidding by acting on the brakes 
of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also 
improves the directional stability of the vehicle on 
acceleration.
With the ESC system, maintain the direction 
without attempting to steer in the opposite 
direction.

Operation
The warning lamp flashes when the 
ASR or ESC is triggered.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
ASR and ESC systems, so that the wheels can 
spin and regain grip.F
 
P
 ress the button or turn the 
knob to the ESC OFF position 
(depending on version).
The LED lights up: the ASR and ESC systems 
are deactivated.
They reactivate again:
-
 
a
 utomatically above 31   mph (50   km/h),
If there is a difference between the path followed 
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the 
ESC system automatically acts on the brake of 
one or more wheels and on the engine to return 
the vehicle to the required path.
- manually when you press the button again or turn the knob 
to this position (depending on 
ve r s i o n).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
systems, the warning lamp and the 
LED come on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message on the 
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of 
each tyre.
Although the ASR /ESC systems help to 
improve safety in normal driving, they 
should not encourage the driver to take 
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems 
is ensured if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and the fitting and 
repair procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which 
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been 
optimised for each situation, allows you to 
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip 
(encountered during passenger car use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power 
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds 
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on to confirm your choice.

Compatibility of fuels 
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels 
that conform to current and future European 
standards and which can be obtained from 
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228, 
mixed with a biofuel that meets 
standard EN15376.
Fuel used for Diesel 
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with 
biofuels that conform to current and future 
European standards and which can be 
obtained from filling stations: Diesel fuel that meets standard 
EN590
  mixed with a biofuel that 
meets standard EN14214 (possibly 
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid 
Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard 
EN16734   mixed with a biofuel that 
meets standard EN14214 (possibly 
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid 
Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets 
standard EN15940   mixed with 
a biofuel that meets standard 
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard 
EN16709 can be used in your 
Diesel engine. However, this use, 
even occasional, requires strict 
application of the special ser vicing 
conditions referred to as "Arduous 
conditions".
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of any other type of (bio) fuel 
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited 
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel 
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised for 
use are those that meet the B715000 
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could result in an abnormal operation 
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we 
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and 
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C 
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting, 
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated 
workshop for a little while.
The only petrol additives authorised for 
use are those that meet the B715001 
standard.
