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.

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.

HILL StA rt ASSIS t
this system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:
-
the vehicle must be stationary
, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-
the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-
uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,
-
downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
t
he Hill Start Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
when the clutch pedal is released,
-
when the parking brake is applied,
-
when the engine is switched of
f,
-
when the engine stalls.

If following an automatic restart in S

t
he S t

when:
-
the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope,
-
the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe,
-
the air conditioning is running,
-
the engine has been stopped for around
3 minutes with Stop & Start,
-
some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the
engine is needed to assure control of a
system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by this indicator
lamp, which flashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.Good practice
With a manual gearbox in StOP mode, if a
gear is engaged without fully depressing the
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place.
An indicator lamp and/or message is
displayed in the instrument panel asking
you to fully depress the clutch pedal to allow
restarting.
t
his operation is perfectly normal.
With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
With the engine stopped in S

their seat belt and opens a front
door, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.

Observe the driving regulations 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 roads
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. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
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 P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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!
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.
