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).

volume up to the roof to be used:
–  behind the front seats (1
st row) when the rear 
seats are folded down.
–  behind the rear seats (2
nd row) when the load 
space cover is removed.
It protects the occupants in case of 
sudden braking.
 
 
Behind the front seats
(Depending on version) 
 
►  Fold down the rear seats.
►  Remove the trim covers on each side, 
located in the upper section in the roof.
►  Position the net's upper hooks in the roof.

In the event of a breakdown
► At the end of the charging operation, switch 
off charger  B
 before disconnecting the cables 
from battery A.
 
24v 12v 
If this label is present, use only a 12 V 
charger to avoid causing irreversible 
damage to the electrical components related 
to the Stop & Start system.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk 
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop 
who will verify that the internal components 
have not been damaged and that the case 
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of 
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, 
are not available if the battery is not 
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of charge 
for starting the engine, it is recommended that 
the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is 
taken out of service for a long period. Before disconnecting the battery:
►
 
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows, 
roof).
►
  
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio 
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
►
  
Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
   minutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect 
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal 
 
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover 
on the  (+) terminal.
►
 
Raise lever
  
A
  fully to release clamp  
B
 .
►
 
Remove clamp
  
B
  by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal 
 
► Raise lever A  fully.
►  Refit the open clamp  B  on the (+)   terminal.
►
 
Push clamp
   B fully down.
►
 
Lower lever
  
A
  to lock clamp   B.
►
 
Depending on equipment, lower the plastic 
cover on the 
(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever as locking will be 
impossible if the clamp is not positioned 
correctly; start the procedure again.
After reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the 
ignition and wait 1   minute before starting the 
engine, to enable the electronic systems to 
initialise.
For right-hand drive versions, when the 
total distance recorder has reached 
62
 
miles (100   km), you must wait 
approximately 15 minutes before starting the 
engine.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following 
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reset certain 
equipment:
–  Remote control key or electronic key 
(depending on version).
–  Sunroof and electric sun blind.
–  Electric windows.
–  Date and time.
–  Preset radio stations.
After reconnection of the battery, the 
“Collision risk detection system fault” 
message is displayed on the instrument panel 
when the ignition is switched on. This 
operation is perfectly normal. The message 
will disappear while driving. 
The Stop & Start system may not be  operational during the trip following the 
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available 
again after a continuous period with the 
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which 
depends on the exterior temperature and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 
hours).

connector.
Charging the front battery 
using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the front battery, it 
is essential to maintain an adequate state of 
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to 
charge the front battery:
– 
using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–
 
if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for 
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's front battery  yourself, use only a charger compatible 
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage 
of 12
  V.
Follow the instructions provided by the 
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the 
battery.
►
 
Switch off the ignition.
►
 
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio 
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
 
 
► Switch off charger  B  before connecting 
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any 
dangerous sparks.
►
 
Ensure that the charger cables are in good 
condition.
►
 
Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the 
vehicle has one.
►
 
Connect the cables of charger  B
 as follows:
•
