ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emis-
sions.
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 instruc-
tions.
With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background
traffi c 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.
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 win-
dows 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 at-
tained.
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 to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

20
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regular-
ly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

INFORMATION ON TINFORMATION ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL SCREEN
Information display
With the ignition on, press the INFO
but-
ton, located on the fascia to the left of the
instrument panel, to display the various
types of information in succession:
- distance recorder A,
- distance recorder B,
- service indicator,
- coolant temperature,
- range,
- trip computer,
- setting menu.
This displays the dis-
tance and the number
of months remaining be-
fore the next service, in
line with the manufactur-
er's servicing schedule
(refer to the "Service in-
dicator" section).
Service indicator
When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the
temperature of the cool-
ant (refer to the "Coolant
temperature indicator"
section).
Coolant temperature When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the
number of miles (kilo-
metres) which can still
be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank,
based on the average
fuel consumption over
the last few miles (kilometres) travelled
(refer to the "Range" section).
Range
This indicates the aver-
age fuel consumption,
the average speed and
the current fuel con-
sumption (refer to the
"Trip computer" section).
Trip computer
When the vehicle is
stationary
, this allows
the user to change the
following settings (refer
to the "Setting menu"
section):
- the display language,
- the temperature dis-
play units,
- the fuel consumption units,
- the option to reinitialise the average
fuel consumption and the average
speed,
- the break (rest) reminder display
interval.

DISTANCE RECORDERS (A/B)
System for measuring the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its ser-
vice life and the distance travelled in
a day or other period until it is reset to
zero by the driver.
Zero reset
With the ignition on, press the INFO
button for more than 2 seconds until
zeros appear.
When the engine is run-
ning, this indicates the tem-
perature of the coolant.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
If the bar is close to the critical
position
located on the right, the temperature is
too high.
The symbol fl ashes when your engine
is overheating.
You must stop your vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching
off the engine.
Wait for the engine to cool be-
fore topping up the level. The
cooling system is pressurised.
When the engine is
running
, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the
tank based on the aver-
age fuel consumption
over the last few miles/
kilometres travelled.
RANGEGE
When the range is less than 30 miles
(50 km)
, dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display
of the range is updated.
To avoid any risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the
level, if necessary.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop. This fi gure may increase fol-
lowing a change in the style of
driving or the relief, resulting in
a reduction in the current fuel
consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the
value displayed will be incorrect.
Therefore, you must fi ll the tank
whenever possible.
When you disconnect the bat-
tery, the previous fuel consump-
tion data is lost and the value
displayed will be different from
that displayed before the battery was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered
an approximate indication.
