2014 PEUGEOT 108 fuel consumption

81
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
gear shift indicator
Operation
example:
- Y ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
t
h
e system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to change gear.
the

gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear.
t
her

efore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
th

is function cannot be deactivated.
th
e information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
th

e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
th

e system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
With an
etg
electronic gearbox, the
system is only active in manual mode. With the V
ti 8

2 engine, the system only
suggests when to change up.

Stop & Start (e-Vti 68 engine)
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
this indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:
-

w

hen stationary, in neutral, and you
release the clutch pedal.
Never refuel with the engine in S
tO

P
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button. For smoother operation, during
parking manoeuvres S
tO

P mode is
not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S
tO

P mode does not affect the
vehicle's systems, such as for example,
braking, power steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
StOP mode is not invoked principally when:
- t he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
vehicle stopped on a steep gradient, high
altitude...) where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
th

e Stop & Start

system puts the engine temporarily into standby - S
tO

P mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
th

e

engine restarts automatically - S
tA

R
t

mode - as soon as you want to move off.
t
h

e restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.
Stop & Start time counters
A partial time counter counts the periods in
StO P mode during a journey.
It is displayed in the trip computer once the
Stop & Start acts.
Press one of the screen management buttons
to return to the previous display.
A global time counter counts the periods in
S
tO

P mode since the last reset.
When it is displayed, press one of the screen
management buttons to reset the counter.

Driving

Under-inflation detection
the system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
th

e system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
th

e under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
th

is system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
th

e inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
ty

re pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.
F

P
ress this button, the direction indicators
flash.
th

ey can operate with the ignition off.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the body.
this number is engraved on the middle door
pillar, or the rear door pillar, right hand side.
th

e tyre pressures must be checked
when cold, at least once a month. Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
B. Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) in the passenger
compartment.
this is engraved on the crossmember, under
the front right seat.
C. Tyre label.
this label on the middle door pillar, driver's
side, carries the following information:
-

t
he tyre sizes,
-

t
he tyre pressures.
