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 a manual gearbox, move off gently and 
change up promptly. While accelerating, change 
up early.
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.
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.
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 (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.

On versions fitted with an electric gauge, the 
engine oil level status is displayed on the 
instrument panel for a few seconds when 
the ignition is switched on, after the servicing 
information, in the form of messages.
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine 
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Low oil level
This is indicated by the message " Oil 
level incorrect" on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the lighting of the Service 
warning lamp and an audible signal.
If a low oil level is confirmed by a check using 
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid 
damage to the engine.
For more information on  Checking levels, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Oil gauge malfunction
This is indicated by the message " Oil level 
measurement invalid" on the instrument panel.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
In the event of a malfunction of the 
electric gauge, the oil level is no longer 
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the 
engine oil level using the manual dipstick 
located in the engine compartment.
For more information on  Checking levels, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Coolant temperature 
indicator
 
 
With the engine running:
–  In zone  A, the temperature is correct.

You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is 
safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the 
engine.
After switching off the ignition, carefully  open the bonnet and check the coolant 
level.
For more information on  Checking 
levels, refer to the corresponding 
section.
AdBlue® range indicators 
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with 
a system that associates the SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system 
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the 
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot 
function  without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the 
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 
and 0
 
km)), a warning lamp lights up when 
the ignition is switched on and an estimate 
of the distance that can be travelled before 
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the 
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system  required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty. 
It is then no longer possible to start the 
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has 
been topped up.
Manual display of driving range
While the driving range is greater than 
1,500 miles (2,400   km), it is not displayed 
automatically.

Power indicator 
(Rechargeable hybrid)
The power indicator shows in real time the power 
demanded from the vehicle.
There are 3 zones: 
 
 
POWER High power demand, using the  combined capabilities of the petrol 
engine and the electric motor(s) 
(depending on version).
The slider is located in this zone 
during more dynamic driving phases 
when high levels of performance are 
being demanded.
ECO Optimal use of energy (internal  combustion or electric).
The slider is located in this zone 
when driving under electric power 
and when optimal use is being made 
of the petrol engine, both accessible 
by adopting a suitable driving style.
A symbol indicates the threshold at 
which the petrol engine will restart. 
The driver can therefore moderate 
their acceleration to remain in electric 
driving mode.
CHARGE Energy recovery for partly recharging the traction battery.
The slider is located in this zone 
during deceleration: taking your foot 
off the accelerator pedal or braking.
Partial recharging of the battery by 
energy recovery has no effect on the 
charge level indicator.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been  switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks  A
  (max) 
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
 
above mark 
 A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark  B
: top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the 
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 
for your engine and complies with the 
recommendations in the service schedule 
supplied with the vehicle (or available 
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified 
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding engine compartment 
illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).  

182
Practical information
► Wait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
► 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the  instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 
following an addition of oil. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing 
major damage to the engine; the coolant level  must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever 
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the "
MIN" mark, it 
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the 
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
–
 
2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 
containing an anti-freeze agent which is 
appropriate for the temperature conditions 
must be used in order to protect the system's 
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 
circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in the 
particle filter additive tank, this warning 
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a warning message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried 
out quickly.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
