Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 
emissions.
ECO-DRIVING
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.
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.
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.
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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel 
consumption by recommending the 
most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and 
your vehicle's equipment, the system 
may advise you to skip one (or more) 
gear(s). You can follow this instruction 
without engaging the intermediate 
gears.
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. Therefore, the driver remains 
responsible for deciding whether or 
not to follow the advice given by the 
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an electronic gearbox, the system 
is only active in manual mode. The system adapts its gear 
change recommendation 
according to the driving conditions 
(slope, load,
  ...) and the demands 
of the driver (power, acceleration, 
braking,
  ...).
The system never suggests:
-
 
engaging first gear
 ,
-
 
engaging reverse gear
 .
The information appears in 
the instrument panel in the 
form of an arrow.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the 
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP 
mode - during stops in the traffic (red 
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The 
engine restarts automatically - START 
mode - as soon as you want to move 
off. The restart takes place instantly, 
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start 
system reduces fuel consumption and 
exhaust emissions as well as the noise 
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" warning lamp 
comes on in the instrument 
panel and the engine goes into 
standby:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , at speeds 
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you 
put the gear lever into neutral and 
release the clutch pedal,
-
 
with the 6-speed electronic gear 
control gearbox
, at a speed below 
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press 
the brake pedal or put the gear 
lever into position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system, 
a time counter calculates the sum of 
the periods in STOP mode during a 
journey. It rests itself to zero every time 
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox 
system, for your comfort during 
parking manoeuvres, STOP mode 
is not available for a few seconds after 
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the 
functionality of the vehicle, such as 
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in 
STOP mode; you must switch off 
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode 
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
 
the driver's door is open,
-
  
the driver's seat belt is not 
fastened,
-
  
the vehicle has not exceeded 
6
  mph (10 km/h) since the last 
engine start using the key,
-  
the engine is needed to maintain 
a comfortable temperature in the 
passenger compartment,
-
  
demisting is on,
-
  
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.
In this case, the 
 "ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for a 
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine START modeThe "ECO" warning lamp 
goes off and the engine 
starts:
-
 
with a manual gearbox
 , when you 
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-
 
with the 6-speed electronic gear 
control gearbox
:
●
 
gear lever in position 
 A or M, 
when you release the brake 
pedal,
●
 
or gear lever in position 
 N and 
the brake pedal released, when 
you move the gear lever to posi-
tion A or M,
●
 
or when you engage reverse 
gear
.
With a manual gearbox in STOP 
mode, if a gear is engaged without 
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a 
warning lamp comes on or a message 
is displayed asking you to depress the 
clutch pedal to restart the engine. Special cases: START invoked 
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is 
invoked automatically when:
-
 
you open the driver's door
 ,
-
 
you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
-
 
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual 
gearbox or 7 mph (1
1 km/h) with 
the 6-speed electronic gearbox 
system,
-
 
some special conditions (battery 
charge, engine temperature, 
braking assistance, ambient 
temperature...) where the engine 
is needed to assure control of a 
system.In this case the 
"ECO" 
warning lamp flashes for 
few
  seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.Deactivation
At any time, press the "ECO 
OFF"   switch to deactivate the 
system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp coming on accompanied by a 
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated 
in STOP mode, the engine restarts 
immediately.

Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is 
confirmed by the switch warning 
lamp going off and a message in the 
instrument panel.The system is reactivated 
automatically at every new start 
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction 
with the system, the "ECO 
OFF" switch warning lamp 
flashes, then comes on 
continuously.
have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, 
the vehicle may stall. All of the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel come 
on. It is then necessary to switch off 
the ignition and start the engine again 
using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system 
to avoid any risk of injury resulting 
from automatic operation of START 
mode.
This system requires a specific 
battery with a special specification 
and technology (reference numbers 
available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by 
PEUGEOT
 
introduces the risk of 
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes 
use of advanced technology. All 
work on this type of battery must 
be done only by a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
