Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their
energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and
CO
2 emissions.
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 shift 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 practices
help to save on energy consumption, 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 traffic is flowing
smoothly.
Control the use of electrical equipment
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 (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C); 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 energy.
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 energy consumption.
Comply with the 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 forget 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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, 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
For all work on the alarm system, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Locking the vehicle with full
alarm system
Activation
► Switch off the engine and exit the vehicle.► Lock the vehicle using the remote
control.
or
► Lock the vehicle with the " Keyless Entry and
Starting" system.
The monitoring system is active: the indicator
lamp in the button flashes once per second and
the direction indicators come on for about 2
seconds.
After an instruction to lock the vehicle using
the remote control or the " Keyless Entry
and Starting" system, the exterior perimeter
monitoring is activated after 5 seconds, the
interior volumetric monitoring after 45 seconds.
If a door, boot, bonnet, etc. is not properly
closed, the vehicle is not locked but monitoring
will be activated after 45 seconds.
Deactivation
► Press this unlocking button on the
remote control.
or
* Only cases valid for GTi vehicles fitted with just the anti-tilt alarm.
when moving (speed above 6 mph (10 km/h)), a
message appears for a few seconds.
In the event of a fault or difficulties felt in
manoeuvring the tailgate when opening
or closing it, have it quickly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
stop this issue getting worse and so as to not
cause the tailgate to drop, and serious
injuries.
Back-up control
System allowing the mechanical unlocking of the
boot in the event of a battery or central locking
system malfunction.
Unlocking

► Fold the rear seats down to gain access to
the lock from inside the boot.
►

Insert a small screwdriver into hole A

in the
lock to unlock the boot.
► Move the latch to the right.
Locking again after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked.
Bicycle/accessory carrier

Do not fit an accessory carrier to the
tailgate.
Alarm



System which protects and provides a deterrent
against theft and break-ins.
It provides the following types of monitoring:
Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a
door, the boot or the bonnet.
Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in volume in
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.
For vehicles that are fitted with it, interior
volumetric monitoring is incompatible
with programmed thermal preconditioning.
Anti-tilt
(On GTi version.)
The system checks for any change in the attitude
of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted,
moved or knocked.
Self-protection function
The system checks for any malfunction
in its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, button or
siren wiring is disconnected or damaged.

Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order
.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual air conditioning
The manual air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.

compartment in an optimum way depending on
the comfort level you have selected.
It is possible to modulate the intensity of
the automatic comfort programme by
choosing one of three mode settings offered in a
secondary page of the " Air conditioning" menu.
To change the current setting, shown by the
green indicator lamp, press the button for the
desired mode:


"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation
by limiting air flow.
"Normal": offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and
quiet operation (default setting).
"Fast": provides strong and effective air
flow.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode only.
However, on deactivation of AUTO mode, the
indicator for the last setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
In cold conditions and when the engine is
cold, to limit distribution of cold air in the
passenger compartment, the air flow will
change gradually until the comfort setting is
reached.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort value setting, there is no need
to alter the value displayed in order to reach
more quickly the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference.
Manual control
You can manually adjust one or more settings,

the passenger uses their temperature setting
buttons.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Avoid prolonged use of interior air recirculation - risk of formation of mist
and deterioration of air quality!
