o ptimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without
waiting. While accelerating changing up early. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to engage the most
suitable gear; follow its instructions as soon as it is displayed in
the instrument panel.
drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine
braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively.
t
hese practices contribute towards a reduction in
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at
speeds above 20 mph (30 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 (window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital
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.
e

co-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to o\
ptimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
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, trailer...).
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:
-
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 filter, air
filter, cabin filter...) and observe the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR has a fault your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible to bring the levels of nitrous oxide
emissions back into line with the regulations.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle
to avoid any overflow.
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.

EMISSIonS controLS
eOBD (european On Board Diagnosis)
is a diagnostics system which complies
with, among others, the standards on the
authorised emissions of:
-

CO (carbon monoxide),
-


HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-


NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,

detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
t

he tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
t
his system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
t

he system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre.
t

he system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
t

he tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.
t

he tyre pressures for your vehicle can be
found on the tyre pressure label.t
he driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission
control system by the illumination
of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
t

here is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a P
euge
O
t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
to locate it, refer to the "

t
echnical

data
- Identification markings" section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding, extends
braking distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
conditions (vehicle loaded, high speed, long
journey).

to change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
to prevent the mat from becoming caught


under the pedal:
-

ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged; an
audible signal is heard.
