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).

Safety
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low 
levels of grip.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using 
engine braking and by applying the brakes on 
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It 
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability 
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are 
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck 
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, 
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR 
For technical reasons, in particular to 
improve the quality of telematic services 
for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the 
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's 
on-board telematic system at any time.
If you benefit from the Peugeot Connect 
Packs offer with the SOS and Assistance 
Pack included, there are additional services 
available to you in your personal space, via 
the website for your country.
For information about the SOS and 
Assistance Pack, please refer to the general 
conditions for these services.
Electronic stability control 
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme  includes the following systems:
–
 
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic 
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–
 
Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
–
 
Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
–
 
Dynamic stability control (DSC).
–
 
T
 railer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake 
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability 
and handling during braking, and enable greater 
control while cornering, particularly on poor or 
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by 
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the 
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with  the STOP and ABS warning lamps, 
accompanied by a message and an audible 
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may  result in slight vibrations in the brake 
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved for your 
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems  checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking 
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you 
to reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 
increase in braking efficiency.
Intelligent traction control 
system
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system 
to help with driving on snow:  intelligent traction 
control.
This system detects situations of poor surface 
grip that could make it difficult to move off 
or make progress on deep fresh snow or 
compacted snow.
In these situations, the system limits the amount 
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and 
trajectory control for the vehicle.  

11 4
Driving
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to 
the reserve level, the system switches to energy 
economy mode : the power supply is cut off 
automatically to preserve the remaining battery 
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever 
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
►  With an automatic gearbox, place the gear 
selector in mode  N or P then fully depress the 
brake pedal.
►  Insert the key into the ignition switch; the 
system recognises the code.
►  Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply 
significant force to move the steering 
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).
►  With a petrol engine , operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position  3 without 
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine 
starts. Once the engine starts, release the key.
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations for 
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with 
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the  STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine 
immobiliser system, whose secret code must be 
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Starting / Switching off the 
engine with the key
Key ignition switch 
 
It has 3 positions:
–  1. Stop: inserting and removing the key , 
steering column locked.
–
 
2. Ignition : steering column unlocked, ignition 
on, Diesel preheating, engine running.
–
 
3. Starting
 .
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control. It would weigh 
down on its shaft in the ignition switch and 
could cause a malfunction.
Ignition on position

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.

mode is selected by default.
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.
–
 
Exterior temperature between 0°C and 45°C. 
Manually exiting the mode
–
 
Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
–
 
Select another mode.
In case of non-use of the vehicle for a 
long period (several months), a restart of 
the petrol engine may occur even if the 
battery is charged.
HYBRID
Optimises the fuel consumption of the vehicle 
by managing the  alternating or simultaneous 
operation of the two types of engine , 
according to road conditions and driving style.
In HYBRID mode, it is possible to drive in 
100% electric mode if the battery charge level

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes 
for a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few moments, then 
remains on, accompanied by an onscreen 
message.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 
on if there is a fault.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V 
battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be 
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures  of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or 
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel), especially before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the  Identification 
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
  km) at 
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  of this warning lamp, accompanied by an   

130
Driving
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel 
with both hands, always use the interior and 
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the 
feet close to the pedals and take a break 
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the 
associated functions may be impaired through 
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in 
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar.
 
 
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.
►
 
Reduce speed immediately
 , avoid excessive 
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
 
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not  always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►
 
Using a compressor
 , such as the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the 
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►
 
If it is not possible to make this check 
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►
 
In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel 
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is  reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any 
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres, 
and after changing one or more wheels.
 
 
Before reinitialising the system, make 
sure that the pressures of the four tyres 
are correct for the conditions of use of the 
vehicle and conform to the values written on 
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before 
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Driving and manoeuvring 
aids - General 
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in 
any circumstances, replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway 
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in 
all circumstances and must be able to retake 
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt 
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and 
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly 
check the traffic, to assess the relative 
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to 
anticipate their movements before indicating 
and changing lane.
