Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in thebottom 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 par ticular:


- 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 ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overflow.


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 toa consistent average.

Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical surface of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repairedand refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.


List of operations
)Put the wheel in place on the hub. )Screw in the bolts fully by hand.)Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1fitted with the security socket 4 (if your vehicle has them). )Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.

Practical information





Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehiclewhen braking.
The snow chains must be fitted onlyto the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.


Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is recommended that before you leave,you practise fitting the snow chains ona level and dry surface. If your vehicleis fitted with alloy wheels, check thatno par t of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.



Advice on installation
)If you have to fit the chains during ajourney, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.)Apply the parking brake and position anywheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.)Fit the chains following the instructionsprovided by the manufacturer. )Move off gently and drive for a fewmoments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). )Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.

Use onl
y the chains designed to be fitted to the
