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.

VISIBILITY
RCZ_EN_CHAP04_VISIBILITE_ED02-2013
EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and control of the various front and rea\
r
lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.
MAIN LIGHTING
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in relation to the climatic condit\
ions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
ADDITIONAL LIGHTING
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the requirements of particular driving
conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
SETTINGS
Various automatic lighting control modes are also available depending
on options:
- daytime running lamps,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- directional lighting,
- guide-me-home lighting. In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

VISIBILITY

C. Foglamp selection ring.
The foglamp operates with the dipped and main beam headlamps. Rear foglamp.
Turn the ring C forwards and release to switch on the rear foglamp.
When the lighting is switched off automatically (with AUTO model)
or when the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamp and the sidelamps will remain on.
Turn the ring C rearwards and release to switch off all the lamps. In good or rainy weather, both day and night, use of the rear
foglamp is prohibited. In these situations, the power of its beam
may dazzle other drivers. It should only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch
on the foglamp and dipped beam headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the rear foglamp when it is no longer
needed.
Switching off the lamps when the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate ring
A to the "0" position -
lamps off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the sidelamps, switch off
automatically after a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

AUTOMATIC "GUIDE-ME-HOME" LIGHTING Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the
lighting comes on, this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect suffi cient light. In
this case, the lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled. When the automatic illumination of headlamps function is activated
(lighting control stalk in the "
AUTO " position), under low ambient light
the dipped beams headlamps come on automatically when the ignition
is switched off.
Programming
Activation or deactivation, as well as the duration of the guide-me-home\
lighting, is set in the vehicle confi guration menu.
