Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and Co
2 emissions.
Eco-driving
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.
th
e 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.
t
h
ese
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and C
o
2 emissions and also help
to reduce the background traffic noise.
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.
Control the use of your
electrical equipment
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.
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.
Eco-driving

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
th
e fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.th
e vehicle retains conventional
braking. Drive carefully at moderate
speed.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a PE
u
g
Eo
t
dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Intelligent traction
control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help
driving on snow: intelligent traction control.
th
is system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
th
e use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Safety
196
Expert_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
Driving recommendations
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 l
ong 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. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable substances and materials
are present: grass, leaves, etc.
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.
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.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
on l
eaving 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 PE
u
g
Eo
t dealer or a qualified workshop.
Driving
197

to assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
gro
ss Vehicle Weight.
to a
void upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
Manoeuve cautiously, at
low speed
the dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted. It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading the roof rack also requires you not
to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack
anchorages.
o
b
serve the maximum authorised
weight, available from PE
ugEo
t
d
ealers.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
Cargo that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the
vehicle and create the risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a
prudent and efficient way
take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
the tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent
closing, guide the movement of the door at the
right speed until it closes.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th
e maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.to a void overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
th
e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PE
u
g
Eo
t
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height
, refer to the
corresponding section.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "EC
o"
i
ndicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, S
t
o
P m
ode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed. If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
S
t
o
P m
ode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time counter
the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - St oP m ode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...).
t
h
e engine restarts automatically -
S
tA
R
t
mode - as soon as you want to move
off.
t
h
e restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "EC
o"
i
ndicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8km/h),
the "EC
o" i
ndicator lamp comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N . (minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
Never refuel with the engine in S
t
o
P
m
ode; you must switch off the ignition
with the button.
