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.

Limit the causes of
excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom of
the boot, as close as possible to the rear
seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof
box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks
after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres
on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger
compartment filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended in the
warranty and maintenance record. When refuelling, do not continue after the
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics
system which complies with,
among others, the standards
concerning authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely
affects road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature tyre
wear, particularly under arduous conditions
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when
the tyres cold (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to
the values indicated on the label.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
Operation
Depending on the driving conditions and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
You can follow this indication without going
through the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
arrow.
The system never recommends
engaging first gear or reverse, or
changing down.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking, ...).

TRIP COMPUTER
TRIP COMPUTER
Press the MODE button several times in succession until the trip computer is displayed.
Range: displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining fuel detected in the tank, basd on the average consumption over the last few miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi lling with at least 10 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Each press of the button at the end of the wiper stalk displays the different trip computer information in succession, according to the screen.
A FEW DEFINITIONS
- The "vehicle" tab:
The range, the current fuel consumption and the distance remaining.
- The "1" (trip 1) tab with:
The average speed, the average fuel consumption and the distance travelled calculated over route "1".
- The "2" (trip 2) tab with the same functions for a second route.
Current fuel consumption: only calculated and displayed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption: this is the average fuel consumption since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled: calculated since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance remaining to the destination: calculated with reference to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated, the navigation system calculates it as a current value.
Average speed: this is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
