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...). u
s
e 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 warranty and maintenance record.
With a Blue HDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P

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.

Battery charge fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or

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.

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.

Engine oil level indicator*
Oil 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.
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 P

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:
System which informs the driver whether the
engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on, after the
service information.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30


minutes.

Fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are compatible with e1
0 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to
e
u
ropean standards e
N 2
28
and
e
N
15376.
e8

5 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with
e
u
ropean standard e
N 1
5293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly with biofuels
which conform to current and future eu ropean
standards (Diesel fuel which complies with
standard
e
N 5
90 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard
e
N 1
4214) available
at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid
Methyl
e
s
ter).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special servicing conditions
indicated in the warranty and maintenance
record. Contact a P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
Checks

212
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 level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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 warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P
e

uge
O

T dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil changes).
P
e

uge
O

T 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.
Checks

214
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a P
e

uge
O
T dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
