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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
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.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.
For vehicles fitted with it, avoid using the
Dynamic Pack for too long, in order to limit
your fuel consumption.

Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The

K
eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering wheel to
engage the steering lock. Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic
key
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's registration document, your
personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
Back-up procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key
Total unlocking/locking of
the vehicle with the key
Use these procedures in the following cases:
-
r emote control cell battery flat,
-

-

v
ehicle in an area subject to strong
electromagnetic interference.
In the first case, you can also replace the
remote control cell battery.
In the second case, you can also reinitialise the
remote control.

Automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, as well as when the
ABS function is invoked or in the event of an
impact, the hazard warning lamps come on
automatically.
They switch off automatically once you
accelerate.
F
Y
ou can also switch them off by pressing
the button.
Emergency or assistance
call
Peugeot Connect SOS** Depending on the geographic coverage of "Peugeot Connect SOS", "Peugeot
Connect Assistance" and the official national
language chosen by the owner of the vehicle.
The list of countries covered and PEUGEOT
CONNECT services is available from dealers
or on the website for your country.
In an emergency, press this
button for more than 2

seconds.
The flashing LED and the voice
message confirm that the call
has been made to the "Peugeot
Connect SOS" ser vice*. Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request; the LED goes off.
The LED remains on (without flashing) when
communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call.
"Peugeot Connect SOS" immediately locates
your vehicle and contacts you in your own
language**, and – if necessary – requests that
relevant emergency services be dispatched**.
In countries where the ser vice is not available,
or when the locating ser vice has been
expressly declined, the call is sent directly
to the emergency services (112) without the
vehicle location.
If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, an emergency call is made
automatically and independently of the
deployment of any airbags.
Operation of the system
When the ignition is switched on, the indicator
lamp comes on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.
If the indicator lamp lights up continuously red:
there is a system fault.
If the indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery.
In either case, emergency and assistance calls
may not function.
Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible.

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).
