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.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each of these tyres.
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or\

more tyres.This system does not avoid the need to check the tyre pressures
regularly and before a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear

,
particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed,
long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while
driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures of the four tyres, as
soon as the vehicle is moving.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values indicated
on the label.
Spare wheel
Don't forget to also check the tyre pressure of the spare wheel.
The alloy spare wheel also has a sensor.
The steel spare wheel does not have a sensor.
The

tyre

under-inflation

detection

system

is

an

aid

to

driving

which

does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver

.

DRIVING

128
RCZ_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2015
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, a symbol or a message is \
displayed, depending on equipment, to identify it.
F

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
F


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
F


In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or
the

spare wheel (according to equipment),


or
F

if you have a compressor
, the one in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,


or
F

if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.
UNdER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a
message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. With the ignition on, the pressure must be increased by at least
0.2

bar. If necessary, adjust the pressures to the values given on
the tyre pressure label. The
flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning
lamp accompanied by the illumination of the service
warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This

alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (steel spare wheel).
Go

to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked or

, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
OPERATING FAULT
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first
gear (position P

for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
Check
that the parking brake indicator lamps are on fixed (not
flashing)

in the instrument panel.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specific

to

your

vehicle,

it

is

stored

in

the

glove box.
Wheelbrace:


for

removal

of

the

wheel

fixing

bolts.
j

ack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRE d*
Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt
finishers (covers) on alloy wheels.
*

Depending


on

the

country of sale, the vehicle may be equipped with
the tools needed to change a wheel and a spare wheel (see following
pages). Do not use:
-


the jack for any purpose other than lifting the vehicle,
-


a jack other than the one supplied with the vehicle.
If the jack supplied with the vehicle is not present, contact a
PEUGEOT


dealer or a qualified workshop to obtain the jack
defined

for the vehicle by the manufacturer.

SNOW CHAINS
Original tyre sizeMaximum link size.
235/45 R18 cannot
be fitted with chains
235/40 R19
225/45 R18 9 mm
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified

workshop.
Use

only

the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to
your vehicle:The


snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels.
They

must


never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised. Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared
of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface.
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no
part

of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F

Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F


Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer

.
F

Move of
f gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30
mph (50 km/h).
F

Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise
fitting

the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
