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:
-

efore a long journey,
-

-

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 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.

Service indicator
this is a check against the planned servicing
intervals in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
It is calculated from the last service indicator
reset according to the number of miles travelled
and the time elapsed since the last service.More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the service operations comes
on.
t
h
e distance recorder display line indicates the
distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation.
t
h
e screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions only
(depending on country of sale), the level
of deterioration of the engine oil is also
taken into account.

the mileage remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions in which the
vehicle is used.
th
e spanner may also come on if
you have exceeded the period since
the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With Blue HDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on in advance
of the service interval, according to the
level of deterioration of the engine oil,
which depends on the driving conditions
in which the vehicle is used.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on
.
With Blue HDi Diesel versions the Service
warning lamp may come on as soon as the
ignition is switched on. For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner flashes to indicate that the service
must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon.

Engine oil level indicator
On versions fitted with an electric oil gauge,
information on the oil level is displayed in the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on, at the same time as the
service information.
th
e level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30


minutes.
Oil level correct
this is indicated by a message in the
instrument panel.
Oil level incorrect
this is indicated by a 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 a message in the
instrument panel. Contact a Pe ugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
there are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
-

A
= max; never exceed this
level,
-

B
= min; top up the level via
the oil filler, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil filler cap on your
engine.

Checking levels
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).
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 manufacturer's service schedule
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.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule.
