Motoring & the environment
e
co-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to o\
ptimise their fuel consumption and C o
2 emissions.
eco-driving
o

ptimise 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 C o
2
emissions and also helps 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
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.
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.

Motoring & the environment
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, bicycle carrier, trailer...).
u
se a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
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, passenger compartment filter...) and
observe the schedule of operations recommended in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a P
eugeo T
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.

detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
uNDeR-INFLAt I o N D ete C t I o N
This 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 (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. This 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
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
The 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).
o

therwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures
in the four tyres, once the vehicle is
moving.
It compares the information given by
the four wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be
reinitialised every time the tyre
pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects a drop in the inflation
pressure of one or more tyres.The under-inflation detection
system does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the
driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
impairs road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature
tyre wear, particularly under arduous
condition (high loading, high speed,
long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the
tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).

geAR SHIFt INDICAt o R
System which reduces fuel
consumption by recommending the
most appropriate gear.
operation
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one (or more)
gear(s). You can follow this instruction
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount
of traffic and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to
overtake another vehicle), simply
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing down firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes automatically to neutral N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the parking brake. Check that the
parking brake warning lamp is on in the
instrument panel.Before doing anything in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear selector is in neutral N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle to change up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed (for example when
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically

, to first gear if
needed.
-

It is not necessary to release the
accelerator completely during gear
changes.
-


A
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-

For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may be performed automatically

.

StoP & StARt
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - STo P
mode - during stops in the traffic (red
lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
operation
going into engine StoP mode
The " e C o " warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes
into standby:
-

with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-

with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever into
position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in ST
o

P mode during a
journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With a 6-speed electronic
gearbox, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, ST
o
P mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
ST
o
P mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
ST
o
P mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: S to P mode
unavailable
ST
o
P mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not
fastened,
-

the vehicle has not exceeded
6

mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
-
the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
-

demisting is on,
-

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, the
