Eco- driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
an d change up without waiting. During
acceleration change up early.
With an ETG gearbox, give preference to
automatic mode (Easy) and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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
b
ackground traffic noise.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof and window
b l i n d s …) .
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
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,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a
range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
T
he 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 ETG gearbox, this
indicator only appears in manual mode.

Outside temperature
In some situations, it may happen that the
outside temperature is displayed after a delay
or not at all, including:
-
w
hen stationary or moving at a slow speed
(less than about 16
mph (25 km/h),
-
i
n the case of a change that is too high
(entering or leaving a
garage, tunnel, etc.),
-
d
uring very short journeys (less than about
2
minutes).
Lighting dimmer control
When driving at night, this function allows
certain instrument panel displays to be
switched off so as to reduce visual fatigue for
the driver.
It operates only while the sidelamps are on.

successively to increase or decrease the
brightness. The display flashes to show you
the brightness chosen.
Trip reset
F When the desired trip is displayed, press one of the two DISP buttons for more than
two seconds.
Tr i p s A and B are independent but their use is
identical.
For example, trip A can be used for daily
figures and trip B for monthly figures.
With the touch screen
If your vehicle is equipped with the touch
screen, your can refer to information about the
journey in progress. Starting from the Menu

of fuel consumption figures for the latest
journeys made.
The " Delete " button allows the consumption
figures to be reset to zero on the the touch

t he seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
At speeds above about 12
mph (20 km/h) and
for about 30

If the seat belt is still not fastened after this
period, the audible signal changes tone and

The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a
collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.

change up without action by the driver at the
gear selector or the controls under the steering
wheel (unless the engine speed is close to its
maximum speed).Automatic mode (EASY)The gear change requests are acted upon only
if the engine speed allows. If they are rejected,
an audible signal sounds.

If you stop the vehicle but keep the engine
running, you must always move the gear
selector to the neutral position N.
A continuous audible signal sounds if you
turn the ignition switch to " OFF" while the
vehicle is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear.
If this happens, turn the ignition switch
to " ON ", move the gear selector to the
position N , return it to position E , M or R,
then turn the ignition switch to " OFF".
If the vehicle is on a
slope, use the brake
to stop the vehicle from moving and place
the gear selector to position N , E or R.
In all cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Before doing anything in the engine
compartment, make sure that the gear
selector is in neutral N and the parking
brake is applied.Operating limits
When on a slope or when hill start assist is
a ctivated, never keep the vehicle stationary
using the accelerator: you could damage the

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to change gear.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.
-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a
higher gear.

The information appears on the
instrument panel in the form of an
ar row.
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:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
With an ETG gearbox, the system is only
active in manual mode.
Hill start assist
This system keeps your vehicle briefly
stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when
making a
hill start, while you transfer your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:
-
t
he vehicle has been brought to a complete
stop, with your foot on the brake pedal,
-
c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-
w
ith the driver's door closed. The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-
p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on
a
manual gearbox.
-
p
rovided you are in position E or M with an
ETG gearbox. On a
descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, this
w arning lamp comes on. Contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
