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 instru-
ment panel, follow it straight away.
For vehicles fi tted 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 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
b efore 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 (s unroof
and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regu-
lation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not
a utomatic.
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
t owards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and
so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

ACCESS
Unlocking and partially opening
the boot
BOOT
Boot anti-theft protection
The boot is designed to remain secure,
even in the "cabriolet" confi guration, if
the vehicle is locked.
So, when the vehicle is locked and the
roof is open, the boot cannot be un-
locked:
- by means of the interior door open-ing control,
- by pressing the manual central lock- ing control A , when the key is not in
the ignition switch.
Opening
 After unlocking the boot or the ve- hicle using the remote control or the
key, press the opening control, then
raise the boot lid. When selective unlocking is acti-
vated, the boot can also be opened
by a second press on the open
padlock on the remote control.
 Press this button for more than two seconds to un-
lock the boot. The boot
opens slightly.
This action also unlocks the doors.
If a battery failure occurs, the boot
is locked. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Closing
 Lower the boot lid to the horizontal position, using one of the interior
grab handles.
 Press fi rmly on the boot lid, over the third brake lamp, guiding it down un-
til fully closed.
If the boot lid is not closed correctly: -
when the engine is running ,
this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in
the screen for a few seconds,
- when the vehicle is moving (speed above 6 mph (10 km/h)), this warn-
ing lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen for a few seconds.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion of the anti-lock braking system
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the
STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency. When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE CALL
This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio equipment
and telematics" section.

CHECKS
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products of equiv-
alent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers very specifi c products.
After washing the vehicle, damp-
ness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and
pads: braking effi ciency may be
reduced. Make light brake applica-
tions to dry and defrost the brakes. Brake disc wear Brake pads Parking brake
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even be-
tween two services.
Checking this system must be done by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for the
details of the level checking
interval for this component.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.
Driving advice
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the tow-ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and sig- nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
 To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
