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.

The “kicking” movement must be given forwards, 
smoothly, not too fast and with a vertical 
movement from low to high. Raise the foot 
sufficiently and remove it immediately.
Recognition of the “kicking” movement is 
confirmed by the lighting of the direction 
indicators followed by an audible signal.
"Sideward kicking" movements do not 
work. If the “kicking” movement has not 
been detected, wait at least 2 seconds before 
repeating the movement.
Do not perform repetitive “kicking” 
movements.
If the tailgate has not started to open, check that:
–
 
the function is activated.

Electronic stability control 
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme  includes the following systems:
–  Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic 
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–  Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
–  Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
–  Dynamic stability control (DSC).
–  Trailer stability assist (TSA).   

88
Safety
In these situations, the system limits the amount 
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and 
trajectory control for the vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low 
levels of grip.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises 
traction by using engine braking and by applying 
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one 
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the 
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory 
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the 
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate 
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn 
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of 
grip permits.
This function is set via the Driving/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting 
of this indicator lamp on the instrument 
panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or at 
speeds over 31 mph (50
  km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
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 provided by PEUGEOT 
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain 
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow 
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four 
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for 
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the 
tyre/paint label. For more information 
on Identification markings , refer to the 
corresponding section.
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.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 
mph (60 and 160
  km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is 
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise 
the trailer and reduces engine power, if 
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the 
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument 
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
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.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and 
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
The trailer stability control system  provides an extra safety feature under 
normal driving conditions, when following the 
recommendations for use of trailers and 
current legislation in force in your country. It 
must not encourage the driver to take extra 
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable 
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load, 
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at 
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system  improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
For optimum grip on snow, it is 
recommended that you fit the vehicle 
with winter tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable 
tyres.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally 
to drive on tarmac roads, but it may 
occassionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving:
–
 
Driving on terrain that can damage the 
underbody or tear off elements (e.g.
  fuel 
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in 
particular.
–
 
Driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip.
–
 
Crossing a waterway
 .
Operating modes
Snow
This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel 
spin to offer maximum traction according to the 
snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick 
snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also 
adapted to the conditions encountered when 
driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of 
the vehicle.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80   km/h))
Mud
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 
traction 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 before performing operations 
that require sustained attention (e.g.
  settings).
►
 
During long trips, take a break every 2 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 very 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 
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable 
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The 
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even 
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk 
of fire!
Never leave the 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 internal combustion engine or electric motor, 
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the 
vehicle.
 
 
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a 
flooded section of road:
►
 
Check that the depth of the water does not 
exceed 15
  cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users.
►
 
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
 
For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the 
mode selector in  4WD
 position (depending on 
version).
►
 
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 motor
 .
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.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has 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 causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
 
Pay constant attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the  STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit 
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances 
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection

Lane positioning assist
For more information, refer to the 
General recommendations on the use 
of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
The system identifies the limits of the traffic 
lane and steers the vehicle inside this lane to 
maintain it in the lateral position chosen by the 
driver.
To do this, the system uses a camera placed on 
the upper part of the windscreen.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.

for a while, they can deactivate it by pressing the 
button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off and the 
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
The system status is saved when the  ignition is switched off.
Cruise control
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When cruise control is activated, the symbol is 
displayed in green: by small steering actions, 
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the 
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane. 
This position is not necessarily the centre of the 
lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering 
wheel.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle 
at any time, by turning the steering wheel, which 
suspends the function. The driver positions the 
vehicle where they wish to in the lane. When 
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is 
appropriate, they maintain it until the function 
is reactivated. The system regains control by 
regulating on the new defined position. 
Pausing/Suspending the 
system
The driver must act promptly if they believe that the traffic conditions or the 
state of the road surface require their 
intervention, by moving the steering wheel to 
temporarily suspend system operation. Any 
intervention on the brake pedal that causes 
the Adaptive Cruise Control to pause will also 
cause the system to pause.
