2023 PEUGEOT 308 Tyres

Practical information
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (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.
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.
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.
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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
8Only the 12 V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used to power the
compressor.
For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body
(e.g. nail, screw) which has penetrated
the tyre.
►

Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►


Follow the safety instructions (hazard
warning lamps, warning triangle, high visibility jacket, etc.) according to the legislation in force
in the country in which you are driving.
►


Switch the ignition off.

► Remove the transparent cap from the bottle
of sealant.
►

Lift the protective cover before installing the
bottle of sealant on the compressor

.
►

T
urn the bottle of sealant over and screw it a
quarter turn into the compressor.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


► Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
► Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten firmly .
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position

"O".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12

V socket.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►

Switch the ignition on.

► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position "I" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2
bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback). CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Technical data
Identification markings
Various visible markings for vehicle identification
and vehicle search.


A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), under
the bonnet.
Stamped on the chassis.
B. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), on the
dashboard.
Printed on an adhesive label visible through the
windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label.
Affixed to the right-hand door.
Bears the following information:
–
Manufacturer
’s name.
–

European whole vehicle type approval
number

.
–

V
ehicle Identification number (VIN).
– Gross vehicle weight (GVW).
– Gross train weight (GTW).
–

Maximum weight on the front axle.
–


Maximum weight on the rear axle.
D. T

yres/paint code label.
Affixed to the driver's door.
Bears the following information about the tyres:
–

T
yre pressures, unladen and laden.
–

T
yre specification, made up of the dimensions
and type as well as the load and speed indices.
–

Spare tyre inflation pressure.
Also indicates the paint colour code.
The vehicle may be originally equipped with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting tyre pressure (on cold tyres).
In the event of a change in the type of tyres,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the tyre fits
approved for the vehicle. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
