OVERVIEW

RCZ_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015
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-of

f of the nozzle to
avoid
any overflow.
At
the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles

(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down \
to a consistent average.

The Diesel engines are 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).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines. However, this use,
even
occasional, requires 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, pur\
