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.



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


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

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



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.
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.

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.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, 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.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and control of the various front and rear
lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.

MAIN LIGHTING

The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in relation to the climatic conditions:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.



ADDITIONAL LIGHTING

Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the requirements of particular driving
conditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,

- front foglamps for even better forward vision,

- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,

- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.



PROGRAMMING

Various automatic lighting control modes are also available depending
on options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- automatic illumination of headlamps,

- directional lighting.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

C.
Foglamp selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the dipped and main beam headlamps.


Front and rear foglamps.
Press, turning ring C
:


)
forwards once to switch on the front foglamps,

)
forwards again to switch on the rear foglamp,

)
rearwards once to switch off the rear foglamp,

when the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the front
foglamps and the sidelamps will remain on.


)
Turn the ring rearwards to switch off the front foglamps,
the sidelamps will then switch off.






In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp are prohibited. In these situations, the power
of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch
on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.


Switching off of the lamps when the ignition is switched off

On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.


Switching on the lamps after the ignition is switched off

To reactivate the lighting control, rotate ring A
to the "0"
position -
lamps off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the sidelamps, switch off
automatically after a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION OF HEADLAMPS

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is
detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Activation



)
Turn the ring to the "AUTO"
position. The automatic illumination of
headlamps is accompanied by a message in the screen.



Deactivation



)
Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation is accompanied by a
message in the screen.



Associated with the automatic "Guide-me-home" lighting

Association with the automatic lighting provides the "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional options:


- selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or 60 seconds in
the vehicle parameters in the vehicle confi guration menu,

- automatic activation of "guide-me-home" lighting when automatic
lillumination of headlamps is in operation.



Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor,
the lighting comes on, this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect suffi cient light.
In this case, the lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
