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.
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 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 CO
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.

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. This is
because the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the
engine temporarily on standby - ST OP
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 "ECO" 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 STOP 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, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
-
the vehicle is on a steep slope
(rising or fallin
g),
-
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
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

Going into engine START modeThe "ECO" warning lamp
goes off and the engine
starts:
-
with a manual gearbox
, when you
fully depress the clutch pedal,
-
with a 6-speed electronic
gearbox
:

when you release the brake
pedal,
●
or gear lever in position
N and
the brake pedal released, when
you move the gear lever to
position A or M,
●
or when you engage reverse
gear
.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
warning lamp comes on or a message
is displayed asking you to depress the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
For your safety and comfort, START is
invoked automatically when:
-
you open the driver's door
,
-
you unfasten the driver's seat belt, In this case the
"ECO"
warning lamp flashes for few
seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain a comfortable temperature in
the passenger compartment, it may be
preferable to deactivate Stop & Start.
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the
system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning
lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF" switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confirmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
instrument panel. The system is reactivated
automatically at every new start
using the key.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
with the system, the "ECO
OFF" switch warning lamp
flashes, then comes on
continuously.
This system requires a specific
battery with a special specification
and technology (reference
numbers available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. All of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel come
on. It is then necessary to switch off
the ignition and start the engine again
using the key.
-
the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox or 7 mph (11 km/h) with the
6-speed electronic gearbox system,
-
some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, braking
assistance, ambient temperature...)
where the engine is needed to
assure control of a system.
