Familiarisation
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts automatically as soon as you want to move off. Per fectly suited to urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise level when stationary. emissions and the noise level when stationary.
Park Assist
This is an active parking system that detects a parking space then controls the steering to park the vehicle.
Exterior
Cornering lighting
At low speed this system provides additional lighting in corners, at junctions, when parking..., making use of the corresponding front foglamp.

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.

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, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
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.

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.

Comfort
 Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as appropriate, as lower current consumption results in reduced fuel consumption.
Front demist - defrost
Rear screen
demist - defrost
The control button is located on the air conditioning system control panel.
These markings on the control panel indicate the control positions for rapid demisting or defrosting of the windscreen and side windows.
With manual air
conditioning
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine is running.  Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is not available.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current.  It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button goes off.
With dual-zone digital air
conditioning
Automatic visibility programme
 Select this programme to demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows as quickly as possible. The system automatically manages the air conditioning, air flow and air intake, and provides optimum distribution towards the windscreen and side windows.  To stop the programme, press either the "visibility" button again or "AUTO" , the warning lamp on the button goes off and the warning lamp in the "AUTO" button comes on.
The system reverts to the previous settings.
 Put the air flow, temperature and distribution controls to the dedicated marked position.  Press the "A /C " button for air conditioning; the indicator lamp in the button comes on.

 Place your foot on the brakewhen this warning lamp flashes (e.g.: starting the engine).
There is an audible signal on engagement of reverse.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
 Select first gear (position M or A ) or A ) or Areverse (position R ) .R ) .R Release the parking brake.  Progressively take your foot off the brake pedal, then move off.
AUTO and 1 or R appear in the instrument panel.
Stopping - Moving off on a slope
When stopping on a slope, do not use the accelerator to immobilise the vehicle; apply the parking brake.
Manual mode
AUTO disappears and the gears engaged appear in succession in the instrument panel.
 After starting the vehicle, select position Mto change to manual mode.
The gear change commands are only carried out if the engine speed permits. When driving at low speed, on approaching a stop sign or traffic lights for example, the gearbox changes down to first gear automatically.
You must press the brake pedal firmly while starting the engine.
Automated mode
 Following use of the sequential mode, select position A to return to the automated mode.
AUTO and the gear engaged appear
in the instrument panel.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the part of the driver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear for: - optimisation of fuel consumption, - the driving style, - the road conditions,
- the vehicle load.
N appears in the instrument panel.
