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

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.

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.

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

pressing button M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the
seat controls.
A stored position cannot be recalled while
driving.
Recalling stored positions is deactivated 45
seconds after switching off the ignition.
Heated seats



With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately.
►
Use the adjustment wheel to switch on and
select the level of heating required:
0:Off.
1:Low

.
2:Medium.
3:High.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–


Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–


Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–


Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.
