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
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 windows and leave the air vents
open.
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.

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.

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
MATS
Removable carpet protection.


FITTING

When fi tting the mat for the fi rst time, on the driver's side use only the
fi xings provided in the wallet attached.
The other mats are simply placed on the carpet.


REMOVAL

To remove the mat on the driver's side:


)
move the seat as far back as possible,

)
unclip the fi xings,

)
remove the mat.



REFITTING

To refi t the mat on the driver's side:


)
position the mat correctly,

)
refi t the fi xings by pressing,

)
check that the mat is secured correctly.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:


- only use mats which are suited to the fi xings already present
in the vehicle; these fi xings must be used,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT may interfere
with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise
control / speed limiter.

6/
DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safety
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.


STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL

The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.


1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.

2.
Speed programming / value decrease button.

3.
Speed programming / value increase button.

4.
Cruise control off / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times. The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:


- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving
mode,

- of position D
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.
