2014 Peugeot RCZ fuel consumption

136
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode. M and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes 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.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two positions).
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to
place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle. If the lever is not in position
P , when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is
an audible signal is heard accompanied by a message.
 Return the lever to position P ; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
OPERATING FAULT
When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is 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 a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
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 lever from position P to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N and apply the parking brake.

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY 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 confi guration of the road, the amount of traffi c
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. 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 fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
The information appears in the instrument panel in the form of an arrow. Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is only active in manual mode.
On vehicle fi tted with a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
The system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in
one or more tyres.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a each tyres (except the
spare wheel). 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-infl ated tyres adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed,
long journey).
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.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label (see the "Identifi cation 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.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper support.
For access to it, raise the plastic cover. C. Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-destroying label affi xed to the
door aperture, below the door striker, on the right-hand side.
This label also indicates the unladen weight, the gross vehicle weight (GVW) and the gross train weight (GVW).
The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at
least once a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this increases fuel consumption.
B. VIN on the windscreen lower cross member.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen. D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the door aperture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden and unladen,
- the tyre sizes,
- the infl ation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
