The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
F
S
top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F
i
f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN15376.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations: For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m). The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could result in an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing
up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with a biofuel
that meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel that meets the standard
EN16709 can be used with your Diesel
engine. However, the use of this
fuel, even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".

During use
Never release the device with a trailer or
load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is a
serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
carrier, the towball must be removed and
the blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
This measure applies particularly where
the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.Blanking plug
In the event of towing, it is essential to remove
the blanking plug if your vehicle has one.
To do this, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

Checking levels
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. The liquid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
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).
Used products
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 PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
for vehicles equipped with an electric
gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick

B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
-
I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
U
nscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.
Topping up the engine oil level
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30
minutes after topping
up.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must be between
the marking " A" (MA X located on the
remote reservoir) and the marking " B"
(MIN located on the main reser voir). If
it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the personalised ser vice schedule for
your vehicle.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
