Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise
the vehicle's energy consumption (fuel and/or
electricity) and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress 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.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "DRIVE MODE" control.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector in
mode
D, and except in Sport mode, favour "free-
wheeling" by gradually and fully lifting your foot
off the accelerator pedal in order to save fuel.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
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 (e.g.
sunroof blind, window blinds).
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.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or
foglamps to the level of visibility, in accordance
with current legislation in the country in which
you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (e.g.
film, music, video
game) to help reduce the 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 (e.g.
roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer). 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.
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 (e.g.

engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, 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).
Optimising the driving range
(rechargeable hybrid vehicles)
Connect the vehicle as soon as possible.
Favour the ECO zone of the power indicator by
driving smoothly and at a steady speed.
Anticipate slowing down as much as possible
and, if possible, favour decelerations with
regenerative braking mode activated (power
indicator in the CHARGE zone).
With the vehicle connected, carry out
temperature pre-conditioning before setting off.
To optimise consumption during a journey:
► Programme a destination in the vehicle’s
GPS navigation system.
► Select the Hybrid driving mode.
► Make sure that the battery charge level is
close to maximum.
► Do not use the e-Save function while driving.
► Use the heating/air conditioning system
wisely.

"Peugeot Adaptive LED Technology"
With the Full LED 3D rear lamps, the
lamps illuminate in a scrolling pattern upon
locking and unlocking the vehicle, as well as
when the lamps are lit remotely.
If one of the doors or the boot is still open
or if the electronic key for the Keyless
Entry and Start system has been left inside the
vehicle, central locking will not take place.
However
, if the vehicle is fitted with an alarm,
it will be activated after 45
seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or
boot are not subsequently opened, the
vehicle will automatically lock itself again after
about 30
seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with
an alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.
The automatic door mirror folding/ unfolding function is configured via the
touch screen’s Driving/Vehicle menu.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle, even for a short time, without
taking the Keyless Entry and Start system’s
electronic key with you.

operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing windows remotely using
the electronic key.
Do not put your head or arms through the
open windows when the vehicle is moving -
risk of serious injury!
Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
►
T
o operate the panoramic sunroof or the
blind, use the buttons in the roof console.


A. Sunroof blind control
B.Sunroof control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45
seconds after
turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Do not operate the sunroof if transverse
roof bars are fitted - risk of serious
damage!
Do not place heavy loads on the movable
glass panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a rain
shower or washing the vehicle, wait until
it is completely dry before operating it.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Regularly check the condition of the
sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust,
dead leaves).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure
jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is
possible.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle,
the partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.
Before operating the sunroof or blind

the speed is above 75 mph (120
km/h).
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted to the type of wheel on the vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size 215/60 R16 9 mm
215/55 R17 9 mm
235/45 R18 Cannot be fitted with
chains
(with standard chains)
235/40 R19 Cannot be fitted with chains
(with standard chains)
245/35 R20 Cannot be fitted with
chains
(with standard chains)
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
The use of snow chains is only
authorised on the front wheels.
The driving mode selector must be on the
4WD position (depending on version).
Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can
continue to use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
– For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
– For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
