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
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
and change up without waiting. When
accelerating, change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
favour automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The 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. 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.
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 31
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 blind, window blinds, etc.).
Switch off the headlamps and 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.
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
when not required, if they are not automatically
controlled.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

directly by keeping the lever pulled.
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp in the instrument panel confirms that the
lighting selected is on.
Foglamps
In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.

Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of "Full LED" headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Travelling abroad
Halogen headlamps
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
LED lamps
The design of the front LED headlamps
allows driving without modification in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road to the country in which your vehicle
was sold. Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A to the 0 position – lamps off, then to
the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
They will go off automatically after a
period of time that depends on the state of
charge in battery (entering energy-saving

vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility,
traffic and obser vation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system will be operational as soon as
you exceed 16

lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
