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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct
the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the
windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
, located on the dashboard;
this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to
10
minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working
order.
F Ensure
that the passenger compartment filter is in good
condition
and have the filter elements replaced regularly
(refer to the "Checks" section).
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment
filter.
Thanks
to its special active additive,
it
contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,
you are also advised to refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for information on when it should be checked.
F
If the system does not produce cold air
, switch it off and
contact
a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the
available engine power and so improves towing performance. The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal. If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very
high, first ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer
.

Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the spoiler, with the vehicle stationary, ignition on:
F
raise the spoiler to the maximum position B
by pressing the button
briefly,
F
once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold
the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order
, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING F AULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
F
stop where it is safe to do so,
F
switch of
f the ignition,
F
switch the ignition on again.
If
the indicator lamp no longer flashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation.
To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If
the indicator lamp flashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty
.
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler)\
, the
indicator
lamp in the control button flashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have
it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing. Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To exit from manual mode:
F press
the
button
briefly:
the
indicator
lamp
on
the
button
goes
off
(return to automatic mode).
At speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h), the spoiler stays in the open
position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.

BATTERY
PARTICLE
FILTER ( dIESEL )
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The
battery
does
not
require
any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the risk of blockage of the
particle
filter.
As
soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\
f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Otherwise,
have
them
checked
by
a
PEUGEOT
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
AIR FILTER AN
d PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary
.
A
clogged
passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace
the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this component.

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.
Unless
there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear
, contact 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 units 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.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
