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 and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away. For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.
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 CO2emissions 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.
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 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 (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.

Monitoring
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km) The distance which can still be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the average fuel consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled).
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l) Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h) Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km) Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates the time spent in STOP mode during a journey. It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.

Driving
Never select neutral N while the vehicle is moving. Only engage reverse gear R when the vehicle is immobilised, with your foot on the brake pedal. In all cases, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume control temporarily at any time using the steering mounted control paddles. The use of these paddles permits manual selection of the gears in situations which require a more rapid change-down than in the automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, leaving a car park with a steep gradient, over taking...). The gearbox engages the required gear if the engine speed permits. AUTO remains displayed on the instrument panel. After a few moments, the gearbox resumes automatic control of the gears.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can change to position N to be in neutral. In this case, you must apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
AUTO and - appear in the instrument panel. - appear in the instrument panel. -
Operating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning lamp comes on and AUTO flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a gearbox fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
For best acceleration, when overtaking another vehicle for example, press the accelerator pedal firmly to pass the point of resistance.
Select position N . Press the brake pedal. Wait approximately 30 seconds until N or a gear appears in the instrument panel. Release the brake pedal. The gearbox is operational again.
Reinitialisation
Following disconnection of the battery, the gearbox must be reinitialised. Switch on the ignition.

Driving
Apply the parking brake. Select position P or N . Start the engine. If this procedure is not followed, there is an audible signal, accompanied by the display of an warning message. With the engine running, press the brake pedal. Release the parking brake. Select position R , D or M . Gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off immediately.
Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R , D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle without supervision. When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P . P . P
If position N is selected inadvertently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then select position D to accelerate.
Never select position N while the vehicle is moving. Never select positions P or R unless the vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
Select position D for automatic changing of the four gears. The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any intervention on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving, the profile of the road and the load in the vehicle. For maximum acceleration without touching the gear lever, press the accelerator pedal down fully (kick down). The gearbox changes down automatically or maintains the gear selected until the maximum engine speed is reached. On braking, the gearbox changes down automatically to provide efficient engine braking. If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a higher gear for safety reasons.
Sport and snow programmes
Sport programme "S"
Press button "S" , after starting the engine. The gearbox automatically favours a dynamic style of driving.
S appears in the instrument panel.
Snow programme " "
Press button " ", after starting the engine. The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads. This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.
appears in the instrument panel.
Return to automatic
operation
At any time, press the button selected again to quit the programme engaged and return to auto-adaptive mode.
These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in very specific conditions of use.

Driving
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential changing of the four gears. Push the lever towards the + sign to change up a gear. Pull the lever towards the - sign to change
down a gear. It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate temporarily in automatic mode.
D disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (selector between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault. In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from Pto R and from N to R . This will not cause any damage to the gearbox. Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions permitting. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is displayed. It is possible to change from position D(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time. When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1automatically. The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox: - if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time, - if you force the movement of the gear lever from the P position to another position when the battery is flat. To reduce fuel consumption when at a prolonged standstill with the engine running (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in the N position and apply the parking
brake.
If the lever is not in position P , when the P , when the Pdriver's door is opened or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, a warning message appears in the screen. Return the lever to position P ; the message disappears.

Driving
Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space. It controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from a parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move forwards and backwards more than once.
The Park Assist system cannot in any
circumstances replace the care and responsibility of the driver. The driver must remain in control of their vehicle ensuring that the space remains clear during the manoeuvre. In some circumstances, the sensors may not detect small obstacles located in their blind spots.
Changing tyre sizes (out-size tyres, winter tyres, ...) can inter fere with the correct operation of the parking assistance system.
During a manoeuvre the steering wheel turns quickly: do not hold the steering wheel, do not place your hand between the spokes of the steering wheel and take care with loose and bulky clothing, scarves, handbags... There is a risk of injury.
For entry into a parking space (parallel
parking) the system does not detect spaces which are clearly much smaller or larger than the size of the vehicle. This "parking assistance" system is activated automatically during manoeuvres; it is therefore possible that a symbol comes on in the screen, accompanied by an audible signal, without affecting the manoeuvre.
The system provides assistance in entering and exiting a parking space when parallel parking.
The driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
When Park Assist is activated, it
prevents a change to STOP mode of Stop & Start. In STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts the engine.

Checks
Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation. In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.

Checks
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Particle emissions filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a warning message in the screen (if a display screen is fitted). As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off. If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which is per fectly normal. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement interval for this component.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary . necessary . necessary A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
