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...). Use a roof box in preference. 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: - before a long journey, - at each change of season, - after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Monitoring
Engine oil level indicator *
Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL " or OIL " or OILby the display of a dedicated message in the instrument panel. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL _ _" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick:
The total mileage is displayed in zone A of the screen and the trip mileage in zone B .
With the trip mileage displayed, press the button for a few seconds.
Mileage recorder

Access
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.
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 run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised. No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more 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.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a 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.

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect working order.  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

Driving
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on the brake pedal. In all cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume control temporarily at any time using the steering mounted control paddles. The use of these paddles permits manual selection of the gears in situations which require a more rapid change-down than in the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, leaving a car park with a steep gradient, over taking...). The gearbox engages the required gear if the engine speed permits. AUTO remains displayed on the instrument panel. After a few moments, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can change to position N to be in neutral. In this case, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning lamp comes on and AUTO flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a gearbox fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
For best acceleration, when overtaking another vehicle for example, press the accelerator pedal firmly to pass the point of resistance.
 Select position N .  Press the brake pedal.  Wait approximately 30 seconds until N or a gear appears in the instrument panel.  Release the brake pedal. The gearbox is operational again.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery, the gearbox must be reinitialised.  Switch on the ignition.

Driving
Operating fault
When immobilising the vehicle, with the engine running, you must place the gear lever in neutral N . Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that the gear lever is in neutral N and that the parking brake is applied.
With the ignition on, the flashing of this warning lamp and the flashing of AUTO , accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox. Have it checked by PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop.
You must press the brake pedal firmly when starting the engine. Whatever the circumstances, you must manually apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can choose to: - move to position N to engage neutral, - leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to move the vehicle. In both cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
