2019 Peugeot Expert fuel consumption

7
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.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the boot, as close as
possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit the summer tyres.
Comply with servicing
instructions
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
You will only see the fuel consumption
of your new vehicle settle down to a
consistent average after the first 1,900 miles
(3,000


kilometres).
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

A few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (depending on the average
fuel consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled). When the range falls below 19 miles (30
km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 62 miles (100 km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed when driving, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
This value may vary following a change in
the style of driving or the terrain, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
C alculated during the last few
seconds.
This function is only displayed from 19 mph
(30


km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
C alculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip
computer reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to
prevent a short circuit:
-

d
o not place sharp or heavy objects on
the seat,
-
d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-
d
o not spill liquids onto the seat,
-
n

Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, stop the function; reducing
the consumption of electrical current
reduces fuel consumption.

Gear efficiency indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and the
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
only optional. In fact, 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
system’s advice.
This function cannot be deactivated. On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
(N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode of Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse.
Automatic gearbox
Automatic gearbox with 6 or 8 speeds, with
e lectronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear
changes via control paddles situated behind
the steering wheel.

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.
