the left hand thumb wheel of the steering
mounted controls.
Tr i p s "1" and "2" are independent but their use
is identical.

Current information
Range
(miles or km)
The distance that can be
travelled using the remaining
fuel in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over
the last few miles).
Once the remaining range is below 20 miles

(30 km), dashes are displayed. After topping-up
with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated
and displayed if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Star t time counter
(if function present)
(In minutes
/ seconds -
hours
/ minutes)
This function is only displayed above
20

mph (30 km/h).
This value can vary following a change
in driving conditions or the relief of the
road, giving rise to a big difference in
current fuel consumption.
If dashes instead of figures continue
to be displayed when driving, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. If your vehicle has Stop & Start, a time counter
records the periods in STOP mode during a
j o u r n ey.
It is reset to zero every time the ignition is
switched on using the key.

F Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and electric door
mirrors as soon as appropriate, as
lower current consumption results
in reduced fuel consumption.
Advice
Door mirrors
Demisting - Defrosting
To demist or defrost the electric door
mirrors, with the engine running
press the heated rear window switch.
Rear screen
On
The control button is located on the air
conditioning system control panel.
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only
operate when the engine is running.

indicator lamp associated with
the button comes on.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 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.
The gear shift indicator invites you to 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.
I
f 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.

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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter 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 manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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.

Switching off - Parking
You risk damaging the gearbox:
F
i f you press the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same
time,
F

i
f you force the movement of the
lever from position P to another
position with a flat battery.
To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(traffic jams...), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake.
If the lever is not in position P
, a
message appears in the screen
on opening the driver's door or
approximately 45 seconds after
switching off the ignition.
F

P

lace the lever at position P ;
the


message disappears.
On flooded roads or when crossing a
ford, drive at walking pace. With the ignition on, illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and an alert
message in the screen, indicates of
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode by staying in 3rd gear. You may then
notice a pronounced jerk when changing from
P to R and from N to R . This jerk does not
present any risk to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) while
keeping to local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This special programme completes the
automatic operation and makes it easier to
