Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 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 youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator 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 practices contribute towards a reductionin fuel consumption and CO2 emissions andalso 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 traffic is flowing well.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windowsand leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof 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 foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.

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

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Vent ilat ion
The incoming air follows various paths
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A on the centreconsole. 1.Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.2.

6.Air outlets to the rear footwells.


Air distribution
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the
grille located at thebase of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in per fect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.



Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintaina comfor table temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivatethe Stop & Start system (see "Driving").

1. Temperature adjustment
)Turn the dial from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.

The air conditioning system only operates with the engine running.
2. Air fl ow adjustment
)Turn the dial from position 1to position 6to obtain acomfortable air flow.



If you put the air flow control in position 0
(system off), the temperature is no longer controlled. However,a slight flow of air can still be felt, resulting from the movement of thevehicle.
