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.

plate lamps).
A second press before this time comes to an
end cancels the remote operation of lighting.
Deadlocking

Advice
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. The remote control may stop
working and would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Electrical interference
The

K
eyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering wheel to
engage the steering lock. Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic
key
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's registration document, your
personal identification documents and if
possible, the label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys
in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
Back-up procedures
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
