ECO-DRIVING 
 Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel 
consumption and CO
2 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.  
  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.   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.  
  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 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.   
  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.     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.  
  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.

and the load space; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
 REMOTE  CONTROL 
 This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the 
direction indicators for approximately 
two seconds. 
  ACCESS  
  Unlocking  the  cab 
 Press this button once to unlock 
your vehicle's cab. 
 The direction indicators flash twice. 
 Press this button a second time to unlock 
the side door(s) and the rear doors. 
 This selective door locking function is 
active when the vehicle is delivered. At your 
request, the dealer network can deactivate 
  Unlocking the load space 
 Press this button to unlock all of 
the rear doors. 
 This separation of the locking 
of the cab and load space is an 
operating security feature. It enables you 
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle 
from which you are absent.  
  Central  locking 
 Press this button to lock your 
vehicle, cab and rear doors. 
 The direction indicators flash 
once. 
 If one of the front doors is open or is not 
closed correctly, the central locking will not 
work.  
  Deadlocking 
 If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking, 
  a second press  on the closed padlock on 
the remote control within five seconds after 
locking changes the locking to deadlocking.   Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior 
door opening handles inoperative: do not 
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is 
deadlocked. 
 If deadlocking is activated from inside the 
vehicle, it will change to normal locking 
when the vehicle is started.  
  Folding / unfolding the key 
 Press this button to release the 
key from its housing. 
 To fold the key, press the 
chromed button then fold the key 
into the housing. If you do not press the 
button, the mechanism may be damaged.  
  Good  practice 
 Take care not to allow the remote control to 
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or 
a damp environment. 
 A heavy object attached to the key (key 
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in 
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

 ALARM 
 If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two 
types of protection: 
   -   exterior protection: it sounds if a front/rear door or the bonnet is opened. 
  -   interior protection: it sounds if  the volume inside the passenger 
compartment changes (breaking of 
a window or a movement inside the 
vehicle).  
  Good  practice 
 Do not make any modifications to the 
electronic immobiliser system. 
 Operating the remote control, even when it 
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary 
unlocking of the doors. 
 The simultaneous use of other high 
frequency equipment (mobile telephones, 
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the 
operation of the remote control temporarily. 
 The remote control does not operate while 
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition 
is off. 
 If your vehicle is fitted with a separation 
partition, the interior protection is not active 
in the load space. 
  Locking the vehicle with complete 
alarm  
  Setting  the  alarm 
   -   Switch off the ignition and get out of the vehicle. 
  When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
  
   -   have the keys memorised by a  PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the 
keys in your possession are the only 
ones which can start the vehicle.     -   Set the alarm within five minutes of 
getting out of the vehicle, by locking or 
deadlocking using the remote control. 
The red LED, located on the centre 
console, flashes once per second.   
  Disarming 
   -   Unlock the vehicle with the remote control or switch on the ignition, the red 
LED goes off.   
  Locking the vehicle with exterior 
protection only 
 If, while you are away from the vehicle, you 
wish to leave a window partially open or a 
pet inside the vehicle, you should choose 
exterior protection only. 
   -   Switch  off  the  ignition. 
  -    In  the  next  ten  seconds, press this button, located on 
the centre console, until the 
red LED is on continuously. 
  -   Get out of the vehicle. 
  -   Within the next five minutes, set the  alarm by locking or deadlocking using 
the remote control (the red LED flashes 
once a second).   
 When leaving the vehicle, 
check that the lamps are 
off and nothing of value is 
visible. 
 As a safety precaution (with 
children on board), remove 
the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, 
even for a short time.

  Manual  mode 
 Manual sequential gear changing.    -   Select  gear  lever  position   M  , 
  -   push the gear lever towards the + sign  to change up, from 1 through to 6, 
 In manual mode, it is only possible to 
change from one gear to another if the 
vehicle speed and engine speed permit. 
If they do not, the vehicle will operate 
temporarily in automatic mode. 
 When the vehicle is stationary or moving 
very slowly, the gearbox automatically 
selects first gear.     -   conversely, push the gear lever towards 
the - sign to change down.  
  You can change from position   D  
(automatic mode) to position   M  
(manual mode) at any time. 
  Good  practice 
 Never select position   N  when the vehicle 
is moving. 
 Never select positions   P  or   R  unless the 
vehicle is stationary. 
 Never change between positions to optimise 
braking on a slippery surface. 
 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 gear lever from  position   P  to another position in the 
event of a battery failure.  
 When the engine is at idle, brakes not 
applied, if position   R ,   D   or   M  is selected the 
vehicle moves even without the accelerator 
being pressed. 
 For this reason,   do not leave children 
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the 
engine running .  
  Operating  fault 
 Any operating fault is indicated by an 
audible signal, accompanied by the 
message   "Automatic gear fault"  in the 
screen. 
 In this situation the gearbox operates in 
downgrade mode (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 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping 
within the limit of local speed restrictions. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.  
   When traversing a flooded road or a 
ford, drive at walking pace.

   Ventilation   
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
  Driver or passenger side comfort value 
 The value indicated on the display 
corresponds to a level of comfort and 
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or 
Fahrenheit. 
  Automatic  operation  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, 
located on the windscreen behind the 
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air 
conditioning.   
  AUTO  comfort  programme 
 This is the normal air conditioning system 
operating mode. 
 Press this button, the  AUTO  symbol is displayed. 
 Depending on the comfort value selected, the system controls the distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is required. 
 When the engine is cold, to prevent an 
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation 
will reach its optimum level gradually. 
 For your comfort, the settings are stored when 
the ignition is switched off and are reinstated 
the next time the vehicle is started, if the 
temperature in the passenger compartment 
has not changed signifi cantly; otherwise, 
operation resumes in automatic mode.  
 Turn this control to the left or to 
the right to decrease or increase 
the value. A setting around the 
value 21 provides optimum 
comfort.However, depending on your 
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 
is usual.

   Parking  sensors   
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
  Engage  reverse  gear 
 An audible signal confirms the activation of 
the system by engaging reverse gear. 
 The proximity information is indicated by an 
audible signal which becomes more rapid as 
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When 
the distance between the rear of the vehicle 
and the obstacle is less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal 
becomes continuous. 
  Stop  the  assistance 
 Change to neutral.  
 REAR PARKING SENSORS 
 The audible and/or visual rear parking 
sensor system consists of four proximity 
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The 
sensors detect any obstacle which enters 
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind 
the vehicle during the manoeuvre. 
 Certain objects detected at the beginning of 
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected 
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the 
blind spots between and below the sensors. 
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or 
pavement post. 
  Activation  /  Deactivation 
 You can activate or deactivate the 
system by pressing this button. 
  Malfunction 
 In the event of a malfunction, when reverse 
gear is engaged the LED in the button 
comes on, accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the screen. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
  Good  practice 
 In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or 
snow. 
 The system will be deactivated automatically 
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle 
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a 
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by 
PEUGEOT). 
 The parking assistance cannot, in any 
circumstances, take the place of the 
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.  
  Display  in  the  screen   
  You are advised to deactivate the system if 
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if 
you are transporting a load which exceeds 
the length of the vehicle.    The activation or deactivation of the system 
is stored when the vehicle stops.
