Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday 
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their 
fuel consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and 
change up promptly. While accelerating, change 
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic 
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to 
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this 
indication is displayed on the instrument panel, 
follow it straight away.
With an 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 gradually. These attitudes 
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and 
decrease general traffic noise.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted 
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds 
above 25 mph (40
 
km/h) when the traffic is 
flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment 
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows 
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds 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.).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air 
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature 
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions, 
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and 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.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your 
multimedia devices (film, music, video game, 
etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical 
energy, and hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving 
the vehicle.
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 
minimise 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 
summer tyres.
Avoid using the Dynamic Pack for too long, in 
order to limit your fuel consumption.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres 
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on 
the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
–
 
before a long journey
 .
–
 
at each change of season.
–
 
after a long period out of use.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where 
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, 
oil filter
, air filter, passenger compartment filter, 
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in 
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system 
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop 
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s 
nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory 
compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after 
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
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).

Access
Recommendations on the hands-free 
function ("Hands-Free Tailgate Access")
If it does not work, check that the electronic key 
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic 
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if 
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with a 
prosthetic leg.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open or 
close by itself, particularly when:
– 
hitching up or removing a trailer;
–
 
fitting or removing a bicycle carrier;
–
 
loading or unloading bicycles on / from a 
bicycle carrier;
–
 
depositing or lifting something behind the 
vehicle;
–
 
an animal approaches the rear bumper;
–
 
washing the vehicle;
–
 
maintenance is performed on the vehicle;
–
 
accessing the spare wheel.
T
o avoid such operating problems, keep the 
electronic key away from the recognition zone or 
deactivate the hands-free function.
The installation of a towing device may  disturb the detection system.
Memorising an opening 
position
To  memorise  a position, in order to limit the 
motorised tailgate opening angle:
► move the tailgate to the desired position 
manually or by pressing the button.
►
 
press button
   C or the exterior control B for 
more than 3 seconds (memorisation is confirmed 
by a brief audible signal).
Memorising is not available until the 
height of opening is more than or equal 
to 1 metre between the low position and the 
high position of the tailgate.
To  delete the memorised position:
►
 
open the tailgate to any position.
►
 
press button
   C or the exterior control B for 
more than 3 seconds (deletion is confirmed by a 
long audible signal).
Manual operation
The tailgate can be manoeuvred by hand, even 
with motorised operation activated.
The tailgate must be stationary.
When opening and closing the motorised tailgate 
manually, there is no assistance from gas struts. 
Resistance to opening and closing is therefore 
entirely normal.
Repeatedly opening and closing the 
motorised tailgate can cause overheating 
of its electric motor, after which opening and 
closing will not be possible.
Allow at least 10 minutes for the electric 
motor to cool down before operating the 
tailgate again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it manually.
Manual closing of the 
motorised tailgate in case of 
failure
This operation is  only necessary in the case of 
failure of the tailgate motor .
If the failure originates from the battery, it is 
recommended to recharge it or change it with the 
tailgate closed.
In this situation, a significant force may be 
needed to close the tailgate.
►
 
Close it gently without slamming, as slowly as 
possible, by pushing at the centre of the tailgate.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at 
one of its sides - risk of damage!
Precautions in use
To avoid unintentionally opening the  tailgate while operating the towing 
device:
–
 
Deactivate the “Hands-Free 
 Tailgate 
Access” function in advance in the vehicle 
configuration menu.
–
 
Or remove the electronic key from the 
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
For more information on the  T
owing device 
with quickly detachable towball , refer to the 
corresponding section.
In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove 
the snow or wait until the ice melts before 
requesting motorised opening of the tailgate.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an 
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock 
the vehicle to prevent any risk of unwanted 
opening.
Electric windows
1. Left-hand front
2. Right-hand front

within 4 seconds.
An audible signal confirms the memorisation.
Memorising a new position cancels the previous 
position.
Recalling a stored position
Ignition on or engine running
►  Press button  1 or 2 to recall the 
corresponding position.
An audible signal sounds when the adjustment 
is finished.
You can interrupt the current movement by 
pressing button  M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the 
seat adjustment controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while 
driving.
Recalling stored positions is deactivated 45 
seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats 
 
 
 
The function is active only with the engine 
running.
On/Off
► Press the button corresponding to your seat.
►  Each press changes the heating level; the 
corresponding number of indicator lamps come 
on.

T
 o stop heating, press the button again until 
all the indicator lamps are off.
The system status is memorised when the 
ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat 
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as 
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment 
have reached a satisfactory temperature, 
switch the function off; reducing electricity 
consumption in turn decreases fuel 
consumption.
Prolonged use of the heated seats is not 
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:
–
 
do not place sharp or heavy objects on the 
seat,
– do not kneel or stand on the seat,
–  do not spill liquids onto the seat,
–
 
never use the heating function if the seat 
is wet.

power: 120 W), lift the cover and plug in a 
suitable adaptor.
►  Switch on the ignition.
The connection of an electrical device 
not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a 
USB charger, may adversely affect the 
operation of vehicle electrical systems, 
causing faults such as poor radio reception or 
interference with displays in the screens.
Boot lamp
It comes on automatically when the boot is 
opened and goes off  automatically when the 
boot is closed.
The lighting time varies according to the 
circumstances:
–  When the ignition is off, approximately 10 
minutes.
–  In energy saving mode, approximately 30 
seconds.
–  With the engine running, unlimited.  

82
Lighting and visibility
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h), 
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch 
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the 
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam 
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps 
remain lit. These indicator lamps 
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic 
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps 
come on automatically. These 
indicator lamps come on on the instrument 
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are 
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the 
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function 
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the  function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp 
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►
 
A
  "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Dipped beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to main 
beam,
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Main beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to 
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps 
again.
The system may be disrupted or not work  correctly:
–
 
When visibility conditions are poor 
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–
 
If the windscreen in front of the camera is 
dirty
, misted or obscured (for example, by a 
sticker).
–
 
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective 
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it 
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–
 
Road users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
 
V
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for 
example, vehicles driving behind a safety 
barrier on a motorway).
–
 
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 surface 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 
obstruct the detection camera.
Cornering lighting 
 
(Only on versions equipped with Full LED 
technology headlamps)
This system makes use of the beam from a front 
foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when 
the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and 
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40
  km/h) 
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking 
manoeuvres).
 
 
Without/With cornering lighting
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch 
screen menu.
Switching on / off
This system starts:
–  when the corresponding direction indicator is 
switched on.
or
–  from a certain angle of rotation of the steering 
wheel.
It becomes inactive:
–  below a certain angle of rotation of the 
steering wheel.
–  above 25 mph (40 km/h).
–  when reverse gear is engaged.

Safety
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow 
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and  DSC systems by turning the knob 
to the "OFF " position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer 
act on the operation of the engine or of the 
brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads, but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
To ensure complete safety while driving with 
a Towing device , refer to the corresponding 
section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce 
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers  enhanced safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on towing 
a trailer are observed. It should not 
encourage the driver to take risks, such as 
towing a trailer in adverse operating 
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the 
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive 
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
(Depending on version)
A special, patented traction control system, 
which improves driveability on snow, mud and 
sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
This system, which can be combined with all-
season M+S (Mud and Snow) tyres, offers a 
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the 
power of the engine. Operation at high engine 
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the  conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80
  km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the 
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to    

93
Safety
5regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50  km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow 
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
  km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob 
to the "OFF " position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer 
act on the operation of the engine or of the 
brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads, but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving 
such as:
–
 
driving on terrain which could damage the 
underbody or strip away components (fuel 
pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due to obstacles or 
stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a waterway
 .
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, 
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in 
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the 
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the 
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope 
must be greater than 5   %.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is not available: –  if the speed of the vehicle is above 43 
mph (70
  km/h),
–
 
if the speed of the vehicle is being 
controlled by the 
Adaptive Cruise Control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the 
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary 
or when moving at speeds up to approximately 
31 mph (50
  km/h).
 
 
 
 
► To select the system, at speeds below 
31 mph (50   km/h), press this button until 
its green indicator lamp comes on; this lamp
