FOR ECONOMICAL DRIVING, CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Main recommendations for driving economically


Gear lever
Use the automatic
mode A
as much
as possible as this optimises gear
changes to suit the requirements.
The fuel consumption
of a vehicle varies greatly
:


- according to the driver's style of driving
(moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),

- according to the type of journeys
made (urban, main road, motorway, fl ow-
ing, heavy traffi c, …) and the speed.


Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the
Auto
mode
of the selector whenever
possible (the mode is activated auto-
matically when starting) including for
urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the en-
ergy sources (internal combustion en-
gine and/or electric) contrary to other
modes, which are for use in particular
cases.
Stay in the "eco" zone
indicated in the
power meter: accelerate gently, drive at
steady speeds using the speed limiter
or cruise control as soon as possible.

Causes of high consumption and
checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading,
wind resistance (windows open above
30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or
not, …), the use of power consumers
(air conditioning, heated seats, heated
rear screen, …).
Observe the recommendations on
checks (regular check of tyre pres-
sures, correct tyre pressures, …) and
routine servicing.

Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving
and the type of journey by reviewing
the history of your energy consumption.
Refer to the "Multifunction screens"
section.

Use the "charge"
zone: anticipate the
need to slow down by taking your foot
off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the power meter nee-
dle (into the "charge" zone), indicates
the level of energy recovery.
Drive smoothly

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and the electronic brake force distri-
bution system (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the traction control (ASR),

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).


Definitions

Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) optimises traction in order
to avoid wheel slip by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
each wheel and automatically acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to return the vehicle to
the required path, within the limits of the
laws of physics.

Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure more quickly and therefore reduce
the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at
which the brake pedal is pressed. This
is felt by a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control, in
particular on poor or slippery road sur-
faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution
system manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.

When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS, which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes
on, coupled with the STOP

warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribu-
tion (EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

White pipe with cap for repair.

H.
Black pipe for infl ation.

I.
Speed limit sticker.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
166

If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained,
this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for assistance.
)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B
to position "I"
until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your
vehicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.

)
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug
the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.

)
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer
as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that
you have used this kit. After inspec-
tion, the technician will inform you
whether the tyre can be repaired or
must be replaced.



)
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel.
2. Infl ation

)
Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in
position "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.

)
Remove and stow the kit.

)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80
m/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
168

Removing the cartridge




)
Stow the black pipe.

)
Detach the angled base from the
white pipe.

)
Support the compressor vertically.

)

Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.



)
Connect the compressor's electrical
connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle and let the engine
run.

)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch B
in
position "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
),
according to the vehicle's tyre pres-
sure label or the accessory's pres-
sure label.

)
Remove the kit then stow it.


Beware of discharges of fl uid.
The expiry date of the fl uid is
indicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it to
an authorised waste disposal site or
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers.



Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

- infl ate other accessories.


)
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit fi rst.
