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 gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and
avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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 ambient light
level 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.
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 help 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. The gear efficiency 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 automatic gearbox, this indicator appears
only in manual mode.

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...). Use 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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
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.

A few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
The distance which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank (at the average
fuel consumption seen over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on. Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

Heated seats
The function is active only with the engine
running.
Switching on
F Press the button for your seat.
F E ach press changes the level of heating;
the corresponding number of indicator
lamps come on:
●
1 i
ndicator lamp = low.
●
2 i
ndicator lamps = medium.
●
3 i
ndicator lamps = high. Do not use the function if the seat is not
occupied.
Reduce the level of heating as soon as
possible.
Once the temperatures of the seat and
the passenger compartment are at
adequate levels you can switch off the
function; lower current consumption
reduces fuel consumption.
Switching off
F Press the button again until all of the
indicator lamps are off.
The state of the function is not held in memory
when the ignition is switched off. Prolonged use at the highest setting
is not recommended for those with
sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that
do not have normal perception of heat
(illness, taking medicines, ...).
There is a risk of overheating the
system if material with insulating
properties is used, such as cushions or
seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-
i
f wearing damp clothing,
-
i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element
in the seat:
-
d
o not place heavy objects on the
seat,
-
d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-
d
o not place sharp objects on the
seat,
-
d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-
d
o not use liquid products for
cleaning the seat,
-
n
ever use the heating function
when the seat is damp.

Gear shift indicator*
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.-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
is only active in manual mode.
* Depending on engine. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
-

ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
Operation
On BlueHDi Diesel 135 and 150 versions with
manual gearbox, in certain driving conditions
the system may suggest changing into neutral
so that the engine can go into standby (STOP
mode with Stop & Start). In this case,
N is displayed in the instrument panel.
