18ECO-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 traffic is flowing 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 (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.

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 refit 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 regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) 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
overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

20
Access
At your request, the dealer network can
deactivate this selectivity of opening
between the cab and the load space; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

REMOTE CONTROL

This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.

ACCESS


Unlocking the cab

Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective door locking function is active
when the vehicle is delivered.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.


Central locking

Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.


Deadlocking

If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press
on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking. Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.


Folding / unfolding the key

Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.


Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

Access

READY TO SET OFF
2
KEY

This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine.
REMOTE CONTROL ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER

All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.
The metal part of the key must be unfolded
correctly for correct dialogue to take place.


Reinitialising the remote control

Following changing of the remote control
battery or disconnection of the vehicle battery,
the remote control may have to be reinitialised.
Wait at least one minute before using the remote
control.
Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons
(padlocks) of the remote control facing you. Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at least
five seconds within the next ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using the
remote control.
The remote control is now working again.
There is a risk of damage if the replacement
battery is not the correct type.
Use only identical batteries or batteries of an
equivalent type to those recommended by
PEUGEOT dealers.
Do not discard the remote control batteries,
they contain metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Deposit them at a PEUGEOT dealership, or
at an authorised collection point.


Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620 / 3 volts.
The "battery flat" information is given by an
audible signal, accompanied by a message
in the screen.
To replace the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the ring.
If the remote control does not work after the
battery has been changed, reinitialise the
remote control.
If you lose your keys
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and your
identification document.
A PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code so
that a replacement key can be ordered.

Access
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.
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).
When leaving the vehicle,
check that the lamps are
off and nothing of value is
visible.
As a safety precaution (with
children on board), remove
the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
