MONITORING
The instrument panel has permanent back-
lighting for improved visibility in all situations,
both day and night.
- With the ignition on, the fuel gauge needle should indicate the level of fuel remaining.
- With the engine running, its associated low level warning lamp should go off.
- With the ignition on, the oil level indicator should display "OK" or "correct",
depending on version, for a few seconds.
If the levels are not correct, top up the levels
which are low.
INSTRUMENT PANEL
- With the ignition on, the orange and red warning lamps come on.
- With the engine running, these warning lamps should go off.
If warning lamps remain on, refer to the page
concerned.

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 fi tted 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 traffi c noise.
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
(fi lm, 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.
ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.

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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter,
passenger compartment fi lter...) 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 overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down \
to a consistent average.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LAMPS
Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a
fault (warning lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or
deactivation indicator lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information for the
warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination, fi xed or fl ashing, of certain warning lamps may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Depending on your version of instrument panel, illumination of the
warning lamp is also accompanied by:
- a symbol in the central instrument panel screen and a message in the multi-function screen,
or
- a symbol and a message in the central instrument panel screen.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the
illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault whi\
ch

The illumination of a warning lamp is always accompanied by the
display of an additional message, to assist you in identifying the
fault.
If you encounter any problems, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
