OVERVIEW

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.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation
and maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct
the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the
windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

Do not cover the sunshine sensor
, located on the dashboard;
this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
F

Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to
10

minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working
order.
F Ensure
that the passenger compartment filter is in good
condition

and have the filter elements replaced regularly

(refer to the "Checks" section).
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment
filter.
Thanks
to its special active additive,
it

contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F


T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system,
you are also advised to refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for information on when it should be checked.
F

If the system does not produce cold air
, switch it off and
contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the
available engine power and so improves towing performance. The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal. If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is
very
high, first ventilate the cabin for a few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change
the air in the cabin.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does
not present any danger to the ozone layer

.
