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.

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.

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
)

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.

and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.

CHANGING A BULB
The headlamps are fi tted with polycarbonate glass with a
protective coating:
)
do not clean them using a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with
a detergent or solvent product,
)
use a sponge and soapy water,
)
when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do
not keep the lance directed towards the lamps or their edges
for too long, so as not to damage their protective coating and
seals.
)
Do not touch the bulb directly with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be done after the headlamp has
been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type
and specifi cation.
