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...). Use 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:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after 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. When refuelling, do not continue after the
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

LEVELS
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or the
servicing and warranty booklet enclosed in
the handbook pack.
If you have to remove / refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel
supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel
is described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous and
effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By means of
its second special active fi lter, it contributes
to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,
unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet
to fi nd out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in
section 6.

Checks
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the warranty and maintenance
record which correspond to your vehicle's
engine. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.
1.6 litre HDi

2 litre HDi
Bleeding the water contained in the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the end of the transparent
pipe.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop for all work on the system. During this regeneration, you may notice
that the idling speed is higher than normal
and that the cooling fan is running. As
operation of the exhaust emissions controls
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to
reach very high levels, it is recommended
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves,
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

FUEL CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts. The flashing of this warning lamp
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position),
- remove the key,
- put the key back in the ignition,
- switch on the ignition and start.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. 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...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228
and EN 15376.
E85 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 European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up to
100 % ethanol (E100 type).
