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.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION



)
Select position D
for automatic
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N
while the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the vehicle is completely
stationary. 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 profi le of the road and
the load in the vehicle.

D
and the gears selected automatically appear in succession in the
instrument panel.
For maximum acceleration without touching the 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
effi cient engine braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for safety reasons.

SPORT AND SNOW PROGRAMMES

These two special programmes supplement the automatic operation in
very specifi c conditions of use.


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 " 7
"



)
Press button " 7
", after starting the engine.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery roads.
This programme improves starting and drive when traction is poor.

speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.

M
and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes 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 M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.


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. If the lever is not in position P
, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is
an audible signal is heard accompanied by a message.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.



OPERATING FAULT

When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P
to R

and from N
to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.

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 lever from position P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N
and apply the parking brake.
