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.
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
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on towing
a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such as
towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use).
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 (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31
mph (50
km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
km/h), the systems
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and
160
km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed
Loads section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.

Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use). When combined with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the
power of the engine. Operation at high engine
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes



Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.

Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►

Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►


Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►

Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►


During long trips, take a break every two
hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,
even several minutes after the engine stops.
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on the
type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
►

deactivate the Stop & Start function,
►


drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
►

do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow

, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
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 increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.

Active Safety Brake with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
Refer to the General recommendations on the
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .


This system allows:
–
the driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front,
–

a collision to be prevented, or its severity to be
limited, by reducing the vehicle’

s speed.
This system is comprised of three functions:
–

Distance Alert,
–


Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
–


Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).


The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
This system does not avoid the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously
monitor the state of the traffic, observing the
driving regulations.
As soon as the system detects a potential obstacle, it prepares the braking
circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required.
In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
–

towing a trailer
,
–

carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack,
–


with snow chains fitted,
–


before using an automatic car wash, with the
engine running,
–


before placing the vehicle on a rolling road in
a workshop,
–


towed vehicle, engine running,
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
