As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to contribute towards reducing the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect all 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. While accelerating,
change up early.
With an electronic gearbox, favour automatic
mode, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the brake
pedal and press the accelerator gradually.
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 the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, make use of cruise control
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the
traffic is flowing well.
Be proficient in the use of
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 and window
blinds, etc.). Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the visibility conditions do 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, if these are not automatically
managed.
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 CO
2 emissions.
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.
With an electronic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Electronic gearbox
Electronic gearbox with 6 speeds, with
electronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.
Gear selector
To safely operate the gear selector, it is
recommended that you keep your foot on
the brake pedal.
