ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does not
require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will
warm up much faster while driving.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce
the background traffic noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above 25 mph
(40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.


As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music,
video game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical
energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in the
passenger compartment down (sun roof
and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it
has automatic digital regulation, as soon
as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

ALARM

If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:


- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/
rear door or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).


Good practice

Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.

Locking the vehicle with complete
alarm

Setting the alarm



- Switch off the ignition and get out of the
vehicle.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:



- have the keys memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

- Set the alarm within five minutes of
getting out of the vehicle, by locking or
deadlocking using the remote control.
The red LED, located on the centre
console, flashes once per second.



Disarming



- Unlock the vehicle with the remote
control or switch on the ignition, the red
LED goes off.



Locking the vehicle with exterior
protection only
If, while you are away from the vehicle, you
wish to leave a window partially open or a
pet inside the vehicle, you should choose
exterior protection only.


- Switch off the ignition.

- In the next ten seconds, press
this button, located on the
centre console, until the red
LED is on continuously.

- Get out of the vehicle.

- Within the next five minutes, set the
alarm by locking or deadlocking using
the remote control (the red LED flashes
once a second).

Ventilation
CORRECT USE OF THE
VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING

Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this filter is in good condition
and have all o
f the filter elements replaced
regularly.
Vents
"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or coo
l air in the passenger compartment,
there are ad
justable central and side vents
which can be directed sidewa
ys (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
Th
e air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Re
fer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning should onlybe used with the windows closed. However,
if the interior temperature remains high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. Use the AUT
O mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passen
ger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in per
fect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditionin
g system results in a flow
of water which ma
y form a puddle under the
ve
hicle when parked.
If the s
ystem does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.

Ventilation

De-icing the rear screen and/or mirrors

Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
de-icin
g of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
Thi
s function switches off:


- when the button is pressed,

- when the engine is switched off,

- automatically to prevent excessive
energy consumption.


Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The com
fort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickl
y demist or de-ice the
windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibilit
y programme indicator light
comes on.
It activates the air conditionin
g, the air flow,
the de-icin
g of the rear screen and provides
optimum distribution o
f the ventilation to the
win
dscreen and side windows.
It
deactivates the air recirculation.

Practical information
CREW CAB

Bench seat

The crew cab consists of a 3-seat bench,
located in row 2, the one-piece back of
which is fixed to the "load retainer"
grille.

Access to the rear seats is via the sliding
side door.
Head rests and seat belts
Each seat has a head rest adjustable for
height and angle.
The three seats are equipped with inertia
reel seat belts. The seat belts are inte
gral
with th
e backrest of the bench seat.
En
sure that the seat belt is attached to the
correct buckle.
F
or more information on the use of this
equipment, refer to "Seat belts" in section 4.

Good practice

The rear seat belt stalks are not designed for securing the load transported. Use the stowing rings on the floor only.
Th
e bench seat of the crew cab is not suitable for the installation of a child seat.


Rear side glasses

If fitted to your vehicle, the side glasses can
be opened.

Squeeze the two controls together then slide
the window. There are 4 position notches.
When driving, the glass should be closed or
secured at one of the 4 notches.

MIRRORS MIRRORS AND WINDOWS


Electric folding/unfolding
If
your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
mirrors can be
folded or unfolded electrically
from the inside, with the vehicle parked and
the i
gnition on:


- Place switch A
in the centre position.

- Pull switch A
rearwards.



Manual exterior mirrors

Move the lever in all four directions to
ad
just.
When the vehicle is parked, the exterior
mirrors can be folded back manually.
The mirror is spherical to broaden the
field
of side vision.
Objects observed are, in
reality, closer than they appear. Therefore,
take this into account in order to
judge the
distance correctl
y.

Heated mirrors
If
your vehicle is fitted with this function,
press t
he rear screen demisting button.
I
f the mirror casing has come out of its
initial location, with the vehicle stationar
y,
reposition the mirror casing manually or use
the electric
folding switch.
There is no risk o
f breakage even in the
presence of ice.
Electric exterior mirrors


- Move switch A
to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror.

- Move knob B
in all four directions to
adjust.

- Return switch A
to the centre position.
