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.
th
e 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. th ese
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions 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.

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th
is function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
th

is 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)th is indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation 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)th is is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)th is is the average fuel
consumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)th is is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero
reset (ignition on).
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop
& Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
S
tO

P mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with

vehicle is completely stationary.
Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic changing
of the six gears.
th

e 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 lever, press the accelerator pedal down
fully (kick down).
t
h
e 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 "S"
F Press the "S" switch, after starting the
engine.
th

e gearbox automatically favours a dynamic
style of driving.
S appears in the instrument panel.

Return to automatic operation
F At any time, press the button selected (S or " T") again at any time to quit the
programme engaged and return to auto-
adaptive mode.
th
ese two special programmes supplement the
automatic operation in very specific conditions
of use.
Creep function
(moving without using
the accelerator)
this function provides great flexibility in
manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed (when
parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
For your safety, this function will be activated
only if you press the brake pedal when
changing from forward drive to reverse.
It is deactivated on opening the driver's door.
Closing the door then pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, reactivates the function.
Never leave children inside the vehicle
without supervision when the engine is
running.

immobilise the vehicle, unless it is programmed
to automatic mode.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a
message appears in the
instrument panel screen to indicate 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 P
to R and from N to R .
t
h
is will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a P

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 M1
automatically.

Checking levels
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).
Engine oil level
the check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with and electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
to e
nsure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P
e

uge
Ot

recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. t
o
p them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the dipstick in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.
F
t
a
ke the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine
.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
