Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items the 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, etc.). Preferably, use
a roof box.
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:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
i s bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is however recommended that the systems
be reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from
31
mph (50 km/h).
However, below 31
mph (50 km/h) you can
reactivate them manually.
To deactivate the systems, press
this button or turn the dial to this
position.

Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this warning lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a
fault, have the system checked
by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a
fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a


message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving. The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1 hour or after a journey of less than
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.

The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F

I

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i

f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i

f it is not possible to carry out this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressure of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. The system is initialised with the ignition on and
the vehicle stationary.
The new pressure parameters saved
are considered reference values by the
system.
Without audio system
F Press this button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal confirms the
reinitialisation.
With audio system or touch screen
The reinitialisation is carried
out via the vehicle configuration
menu.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a

warning if a

pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Particle filter (Diesel)
orThe start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a
message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a
low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
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.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
On a

new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly 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.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a
problem, have the system
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
Practical information

191
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components 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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17


litres.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a

further 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a
running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6

standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a

system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a

Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
