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).

28
Access
If the indicator lamp is on, the rear controls are
deactivated.
If the indicator lamp is off, the rear controls are
activated.
Reinitialising the electric
windows
Following reconnection of the battery, the safety
anti-pinch function must be reinitialised.
The anti-pinch function is disabled during the
following operations:
– bring the window down completely, then bring
it back up. It will go up by a few centimetres with
each press. Perform the operation again until the
window is fully closed,
– continue to pull the switch upwards for at least
one second after reaching the window closed
position.
Always remove the key when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
In the event of contact (pinching) during
operation of the windows, you must reverse
the movement of the window. To do this,
press the switch concerned.
When operating the passenger electric
window controls, the driver must ensure
that no one is preventing the closing of the
windows.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the electric windows correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the
windows.
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and
flashing of the direction indicators for thirty
seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the
remote control or the " Keyless Entry and
Starting" system, rapid flashing of the indicator
lamp in the button informs you that the alarm
was triggered during your absence.
When the ignition is switched on, this flashing
stops immediately
.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
► Unlock the vehicle using the key (built into
the remote control) in the driver's door lock.
►

Open the door; this sets off the alarm.
►


Switch the ignition on; the alarm stops.
The
indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
► Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key
(built into the remote control) in the driver's door
lock.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the
button indicates a fault with the system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric windows
1. Left-hand front
2. Right-hand front
3. Right-hand rear
4. Left-hand rear
5. Deactivation of electric window controls
located by rear seats
Maintaining the locking action (on the key
or the remote control) closes the
windows automatically.
Manual operation
To open or close the window, press or pull the
switch gently, without exceeding the point of
resistance. The window stops as soon as the
switch is released.
Automatic operation
To open or close the window, press or pull the
switch fully, beyond the point of resistance: the
window opens or closes completely when the
switch is released. Pressing the switch again
stops the movement of the window.
The electric window switches remain operational
for approximately one minute after the key has
been removed.
Once this time has elapsed, the electric windows
will not operate. To reactivate them, switch the
ignition on again.
Safety anti-pinch
(depending on version)
When the window rises and meets an obstacle, it
stops and immediately partially lowers again.
In the event of unwanted opening of the window
when closing automatically, press the switch
until the window opens completely, then pull
the switch immediately until the window closes.
Continue to hold the switch for approximately
one second after the window has closed.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active during
this operation.
Deactivating the rear
electric window controls
For the safety of your children, press this
switch to deactivate the rear door electric
window controls, irrespective of their position.

–
the height of the head restraint,
–


the seat backrest angle,
–


the seat cushion height,
–


the longitudinal position of the seat,
–


the depth and then the height of the steering
wheel,
–


the rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the Climate touch screen menu or
are grouped together in the control panel on the
centre console.

Safety
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be
ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The
airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–

In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 or less than 4
ft 1

1” (150 cm) tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–

Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of the vehicle.
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.

Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
–

a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,
–


a child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
–


the keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear
"Forward facing" or "Rearward
facing"




► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the "forward facing" child seat or the
"rearward facing" child seat itself do not touch
the vehicle's front seat.
►

V
erify that the backrest of the "forward facing"
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and is ideally in contact
with it.

“ISOFIX" mountings
The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:


The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat, indicated by a marking:
–
T
wo rings A, located between the vehicle seat
backrest and cushion.


These rings are located behind covers (hatchback) or zips (SW).
To access them:
►

Unclip the cover by pulling it forwards then
pivot it upwards (hatchback).
►


Pull the zip up to open it (SW).
The 2

latches of ISOFIX child seats are secured
to them.
–

One ring
B, located behind the seat, called
the TOP TETHER, for fixing seats fitted with an
upper strap.


This system prevents the child seat from tipping
forwards in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the
vehicle.
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
►

Remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on this seat (refit it once
the child seat has been removed).
►


Pass the strap of the child seat behind the
seat backrest, in between the 2 head restraint
anchoring points.
►


Secure the upper strap hook to ring

B
.
►

T
ighten the upper strap.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Strictly observe the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with the
child seat.
For information about the options for
fitting ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,
refer to the summary table.


If your vehicle has a spare wheel of the same
size as the other four wheels, follow the
procedure below:
► pass the strap and spring hook over the boot
floor (in the slot),
► raise the boot floor,
► lift out the upper storage box, located
alongside the wheel,
► attach the spring hook to the TOP TETHER
ring,
► refit the storage box and boot floor.
