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. As soon as possible, visit
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.

Indicators
Service information
For a few seconds after the ignition is
s witched on, the spanner symbolising ser vice
information comes on: the screen informs you
when the next ser vice is due, in accordance
with the ser vicing schedule indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Engine oil level
Depending on the engine, the engine oil level
then appears, graduated from 1 (Min.) to 5
( M a x .) .
If no graduation is displayed, the oil level is
too low; it is essential that you top up to avoid
damaging the engine.
For the oil level reading to be accurate, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground, with
the engine off for more than 30
minutes.
This information is determined in relation to the
distance travelled since the previous service. If in doubt, check the level with the
dipstick.
For more information on Checking levels
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Engine oil condition
This warning lamp flashes and,
if your vehicle has this function,
a message is displayed at every
engine start: the system has
detected deterioration of the engine
oil. Have the oil changed as soon as
possible.
This 2nd warning lamp, coupled with the
1st, comes on in the instrument panel
when the oil has not been changed and
the deterioration of the oil has gone
beyond a
new threshold. If this warning
comes on at regular inter vals, have the
oil changed as soon as possible.
For 3.0 litre HDi engines, the engine
s peed is restricted to 3,000 rpm, then
1,500
rpm until the oil is changed. Have
the engine oil changed to avoid any risk of
damage.
After a

few seconds, the display returns to its
usual functions.
Resetting the servicing
information
Refer to the list of checks in the
manufacturer's service schedule which
was given to you on handover of the
vehicle.
Continuous flashing of the indicator is stopped
by a
qualified workshop using a diagnostic tool,
after each service.
If you have ser viced your vehicle personally,
you must reset the ser vice indicator as follows:
F

i

nsert the ignition key into the switch,
F

t

urn it to the MAR position,
F

s
imultaneously press the brake and
accelerator pedals for more than
15

seconds.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a

f
ault with the anti-lock braking
system (ABS) which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates
a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system which
could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 310
miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking
distances. On very slippery sur faces (ice,
oil, etc.) the ABS may extend braking
distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal ver y hard and do not
release it, even on a slipper y sur face;
you will then be able to continue
steering the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel screen, indicates
a
fault with the DSC system.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.

Checks
These operations allow your vehicle to be
kept in good working order. Ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer or refer to the
manufacturer's service schedule included
in the handbook pack.
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(models without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean. Models equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter
At the start of winter, have your battery checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Passenger compartment
filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace it twice as often if
necessary
.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
A clogged passenger compartment
filter may have an adverse effect on
the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours.
As an addition to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preser vation of air quality by retaining unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
also eliminated.
7
Practical information

130
Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37

mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000

rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Practical information

131
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reser voir. If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be purged to remove
water.
You can also purge the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Purging water from the filterThe HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work must be done by personnel that
have had special training, which can be
ensured by going to a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
