Practical information
7tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Regularly remove foreign bodies trapped in the
tyre tread.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Fitting winter tyres to only one axle could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle. Fitting winter
tyres to both axles is recommended.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Tyres older than 6 years should always be replaced, even if no damage or wear
has been found.
When a rim is warped, cracked or corroded,
it is essential to replace it as it may cause the
tyre to come off. Do not use a wheel with a
rim that has been damaged (even if has been
straightened out).
Swapping tyres
To optimise wear and increase the lifetime of the tyres, swap the tyres
approximately every 3,100 to 6,200 miles
(5,000 to 10,000 km) .
In the event of irregular wear, bring the
swapping forward.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
Maintenance
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location of the
components under the bonnet, refer to the
corresponding section.
For the maintenance of your vehicle, you can
also contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Vehicle maintenance must always be
carried out with the engine switched off
and the ignition off.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as
certain areas of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could
start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before working on the vehicle - risk of
burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan -
risk of strangulation!

In the event of a breakdown
8After using the fire extinguisher, store it in a safe
place, then replace it with a new extinguisher as
soon as possible.
Never keep a fire extinguisher that has
already been used or that does not bear
its seal.
When the fire extinguisher is not used, attach
it to its support. There is a risk of movement
in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
The fire extinguisher must be replaced
approximately every 5 years; the expiry date
is written on its label.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to replace the fire
extinguisher with one that has the same
specifications as the original.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on the Engine compartment (in
particular the location of the priming pump),
refer to the corresponding section. ►
Open the bonnet.
►
Loosen the degassing bolt about 2 to 3 turns.
► Activate the priming pump until fuel
(without air) appears through the
degassing bolt.
►
Retighten the degassing bolt.
►
Operate the starter motor until the engine
starts (if the engine does not start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying
again).
►
If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again, then
start the engine.
►
Close the bonnet.

In the event of a breakdown
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–
When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps.
