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.
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 of

f 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.
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

traffic

is

flowing

well.

Warning/indicator lamp is on CauseAction / Observations
Rear foglamp fixed.The rear foglamp has been
switched on using the ring on the
lighting control stalk. Turn the ring on the lighting control stalk to the rear to
switch off the rear foglamp.
d

iesel engine
pre-heating fixed.The key is at position 2
(ignition on) in the ignition switch. Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about thirty
seconds in very low temperatures).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and then
on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again, then start
the engine.
Parking brake fixed.The parking brake is applied or
not properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning lamp,
keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For more information on the parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Passenger's
front airbag fixed
on the
seat belt and
passenger's front
airbag warning
lamps display

.The control switch, located on
the passenger's side of the
dashboard, has been placed in
the "ON" position.
The passenger's front airbag is
activated.
In this case, do not install
a
"rearward facing" child seat. While
you do not have a rearward facing child seat fitted
to the front passenger seat, it is recommended that the
passenger's front airbag be activated.
On

the other hand, before fitting a rearward facing child
seat, you must turn the control switch to the

"OFF"
position.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS),
-


electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-


emergency braking assistance (EBA).
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AN d
ELECTRONIC

BRAKE FORCE d ISTRIBUTION
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal.
When
braking in an emergency, press very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on, together with the
STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of contro\
l of
the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the
pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum
braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase
in braking efficiency.

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. If
you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and put the gearbox into neutral or position N or P,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever
the

traffic

conditions.
Pay

close

attention

to

the

traffic

and

keep

your

hands

on

the

wheel

so

that you are ready to react at any time to any eventuality

.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In

difficult

weather,

drive

smoothly,

anticipate

the

need

to

brake

and

increase the distance from other vehicles.
dRIVING ON FLOOdEd ROA
d S
If you are obliged to drive through water: We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads, as this could
cause serious damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.IMPORTANT!
Never drive with the parking brake applied - Risk of overheating
and damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when stationary in areas where
inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead leaves...)
might

come into contact with the hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
-

check that the depth of water does not exceed 10 cm, taking
account of waves that might be generated by other users,
-


drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In all cases, do not
exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
-


do not stop and do not switch of
f the engine.
On

leaving the flooded road, as soon as circumstances allow, make
several light brake applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The gearbox does not require any maintenance
(no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for the
checking interval for this component.
The
gearbox does not require any maintenance

(no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless


there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear

, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those
in
the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers very specific
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can

form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
