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
the risk of rendering the remote control 
inoperative. It would then be necessary to 
reset it.
The remote control does not work  when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle 
immobiliser, as this might result in 
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch, 
remember to remove the key and turn the 
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make 
it more difficult for the emergency services to 
enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from 
the ignition or take the electronic key with you 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.
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 able to 
start the vehicle.
Keyless Entry and 
Starting
 
 
This system allows the unlocking, locking 
and starting of the vehicle, while carrying the 
electronic key on your person in the recognition 
zone A.
Unlocking the vehicle 
 
Selective unlocking (driver’s door, boot) is 
configured in the  Driving/Vehicle touch 
screen menu. Selective unlocking is deactivated by default. 
Complete unlocking
► Pass your hand behind the handle of one 
of the front doors or press the tailgate opening 
control.
If the motorised tailgate opening control is 
activated, this action triggers its automatic 
opening.
Opening the windows
Depending on version, keeping your hand 
behind the door handle or maintaining the 
press on the tailgate opening control allows the 
windows to be opened to the desired position.
Selective unlocking
Driver’s door and fuel/charging flap
►  Pass your hand behind the driver ’s door 
handle.
►
 
T
 o unlock the vehicle completely, pass your 
hand behind the front passenger door handle 
with the electronic key close to the passenger 
door.
Complete or selective unlocking, and 
deactivation of the alarm
  depending on 
version,
  is confirmed by the flashing of the 
direction indicators.
Depending on version, the door mirrors unfold.
Selective unlocking of the tailgate
► Press the tailgate opening control to unlock 
just the boot.
The doors remain locked.
If selective unlocking of the tailgate is 
deactivated, pressing this control also 
unlocks the doors.
Locking the vehicle
Normal locking 
 
►  Press the handle on one of the front doors 
(at the markings) or the locking control on the 
tailgate.
It is not possible to lock the vehicle if one of the 
electronic keys is left inside the vehicle.
Closing the windows and sunroof
Maintaining pressure on the door handle or 
the tailgate control allows the windows and, 
depending on version, the sunroof to be closed 
to the desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind.

is sufficient and acceleration requirements are 
moderate.
When navigation is activated, the use 
of HYBRID mode is advisable to optimise 
electrical consumption.
SPORT
Allows more dynamic driving to take advantage 
of the vehicle's maximum performance. 
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol 
engine as long as there is energy left in the 
battery.
4WD (4-wheel drive)
Depending on equipment.
4WD mode ("4-wheel drive") improves the 
vehicle's grip at low and moderate speeds by 
driving all 4 wheels continuously. 
This mode is especially suited to snow-covered 
roads and difficult terrain (mud, sand, etc.) as 
well as ford crossings, at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the 
battery charge level,  4WD mode may be 100% 
electric. 
This mode will be even more effective if  the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres, 
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135 
km/h) using the electric motors; above this 
speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels 
only.

ELECTRIC
Allows 100% electric driving. The maximum 
speed is approximately 84 mph (135   km/h).
When starting the vehicle, if the conditions do not 
allow the activation or retention of
 
ELECTRIC
  
mode, the message
  “Electric mode currently 
unavailable” is displayed in the instrument panel. 
The vehicle automatically changes to  HYBRID 
mode.
The lighting of a blue LED under the interior 
rear view mirror, visible from outside the vehicle, 
confirms driving in  ELECTRIC mode.
The lighting of the LED can be 
deactivated by inserting the tip of a paper 
clip type accessory into the hole under the 
mirror
. 
Conditions of activation
–
 
Adequate battery charge level. Charging 
the vehicle after each drive is therefore 
recommended. 
The ELECTRIC mode is 
available as long as there is power left in the 
battery.

Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks  A
  (max) 
and B (min).
Do not start the engine  if the level is:
–
 
above mark 
 A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark  B
: top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine 
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine 
and complies with the recommendations in 
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle    

182
Practical information
For more information on the Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
For more information on  AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals 
are correctly tightened (versions without quick 
(or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and 
qualified workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
the contractual warranty in the event of 
engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine 
compartment illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil 
level indication in the instrument panel 
when the ignition is switched on is not valid. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to 
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the 
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark, it 
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this 
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
– 2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use 
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid 
containing an agent to prevent freezing must 
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing 
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the 
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle  filter)
On reaching the minimum level in the 
particle filter additive tank, this warning 
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an 
audible warning and a message warning that the 
additive level is too low.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.   

184
Practical information
AdBlue® (BlueHDi) 
 
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles 
with a system that associates SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter 
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, 
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen 
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are 
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km),  highly 
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once 
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive 
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and 
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road 
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the 
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and 
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is  less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the 
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when 
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 
the shock absorbers have a major impact on 
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is 
important to have them regularly checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from 
the time the engine is started until it is 
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 
time.
A
 faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 
recommended replacement frequency, stated in 
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 
reached first.

Practical information
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular 
care is essential for its durability.
It must be protected and nourished using a 
specific leather product, to keep it supple and 
preserve its original appearance.
Do not clean leather using unsuitable 
cleaning agents such as solvents, 
detergents, petrol or pure alcohol.
When cleaning items partly made from 
leather, take care not to damage the other 
materials with the specific leather product.
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, 
quickly mop up any surplus.
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable 
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has 
been dampened with demineralised water 
and thoroughly wrung out.
Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened 
with soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint 
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect 
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the 
vehicle more frequently to remove salty 
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial 
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas). 
These substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop if you require advice on removing 
stubborn stains requiring special products 
(such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a 
water hose or high-pressure washer to 
clean the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open 
containers can spill, presenting a risk of 
damage if they come into contact with the 
controls in the dashboard and centre console. 
Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or 
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the 
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the 
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a 
pH neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean 
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on 
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of 
light, through variations in appearance and 
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 
remain visible and create a unique satin effect 
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 
roller-brush car wash.
Never select the programme with hot wax 
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped 
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to 
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products 
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least 
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
  is recommended 
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle 
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the 
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger 
marks), using a maintenance product 
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high pressure washer to 
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or 
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature 
between 25°C and 40°C.
Sweep the jet of water across the surface to 
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
