FAMILIARISATION18 -

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bot-
tom 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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

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.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS


Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fi tting it, it is
normal
to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.

Fitting snow tyres
If you fi t snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
that you use special bolts
available from your PEUGEOT dealer.


* According to model and country.

ANTI-THEFT BOLT *

If your wheels are fi tted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket
(which was given to you on delivery
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confi dential card)
and the wheelbrace.

Note:
make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the top of
the anti-theft socket. This will enable
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from your PEUGEOT dealer.
