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.

The rear electric windows can still be controlled 
using the driver's controls.
Reinitialising the electric 
windows
Following reconnection of the battery, or if 
the windows move abnormally, the anti-pinch 
function must be reinitialised.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active 
during these operations.
For each of the windows:
►
 
Lower the window fully
 , then raise it; it will 
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the 
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the 
window is fully closed.
►
 
Continue to pull the switch for at least 
one second after reaching the window closed 
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle 
during operation, the movement of the 
window must be reversed. To do this, press 
the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers’ 
electric window switches, it is important to 
ensure that nothing can prevent the window 
from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that the passengers 
use the electric windows correctly.

Folding from the boot 
 
When loading, for example, or from the third row 
seats:
► 
Pull strap 
 C to unlock the desired seat and 
give the backrest a slight push forwards.
Repositioning the seat 
 
► Place the continuity panels of the 2nd row 
seats back against the backrests.
► Straighten the backrest until it locks.
Before performing any operations on the 
rear seats, to avoid damage to the seat 
belts, check that the lateral seat belts are 
properly tensioned. The central seat belt must 
be stored in the headlining.
Continuity panels 
 
Each seat has a continuity panel at the bottom of 
the backrest, which, once unfolded:
–
 
allows for a continuous loading surface in the 
boot, whatever the position of the seats,
–
 
prevents objects from sliding beneath the 2nd 
row seats.
The continuity panels are held against the 
backrests with a magnetic fixing element.
These continuity panels are not designed  to support a weight greater than  30 kg.
Before deploying the continuity panels, 
check that the 2nd row seats are pulled as 
far back as possible.
Accessing third row seats
The third row seats are accessed via the second 
row side seats.
 
 
From the outside or from the third row seats:
►  Check that the "aircraft" type tables of the 
front seats are properly folded up.
►
 
Pull paddle  D
 and guide the backrest 
forwards to tilt it and move the seat forwards.
To put the seat back in place:
►
 
Straighten the backrest until the seat locks.
Whatever the initial position of the seat, it is 
placed automatically a third of the way along 
the longitudinal adjustment range in order to 
preserve enough space for passengers in the 
third row seats.
If this system fails (paddle D), the third 
row passengers can also get out after 
having folded the backrest of the second row 
seats using strap C.
Do not let children operate the seats 
unsupervised.
Third row seats 
 
The two third row seats are stored in a retracted 
position in the bottom of the boot. Each one is 
covered with rigid concertina panels, secured to 
the vehicle.
Do not let children operate the seats 
unsupervised.
Each concertina panel can support a 
maximum load of  100 kg with the third 
row seats folded away.
With the third row seats removed and the 
removable concertina panels supports 
installed, the maximum load is limited to 
50 kg.
