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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter 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 manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
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.

Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge *fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed with the needle
in the red zone. There remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel
reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of
fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
flashing with the
needle in the red
zone.
There remains very little fuel in the
tank.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
+ flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected
on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Advice
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

Monitoring

32
Electronic oil level indicator
The check is done for a few seconds after
switching on the ignition, with a message in the
display or screen (depending on version).
It is only valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30

minutes.
It is normal to top-up the engine oil
level between services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the oil level and top-up if necessary,
every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
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.
Level correct
Level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL" or
by 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.

Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel (depending
on version), or using the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
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).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
