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.
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).

Indicators
Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms
of distance (miles or kilometres) and time
(months or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two
terms is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the
instrument panel. Depending on the version of
the vehicle:
–

The distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next service
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due
preceded by the "-" sign.
–


An alert message indicates the distance
remaining, as well as the period before the next
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated according to the distance covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a
due date.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order

.
►

If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of

Wiper control stalk
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.

Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash then the windscreen wipers
operate for a pre-determined time.
The screenwash jets are not adjustable. Do not handle them (risk of damage).
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be

Driving
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then the
gear actually engaged is shown.
It is possible to change from position D to
position M
at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox selects gear 1 automatically.
The Sport and Snow programmes are inactive
in manual operation.
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
Switching off the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, it is possible to
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
If the gear selector is not in position P ,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45
seconds after the ignition is
switched off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
►

Return the gear selector to

P
; the audible
signal stops and the message disappears.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on accompanied by an
audible signal and a message is displayed, when
the ignition is switched on.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel a
significant jolt (without risk to the gearbox) when
changing from

P

to R and from N to R.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100
km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damaging the gearbox: – If the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed simultaneously
.
–

In the event of a battery failure, forcing the
selector from position P

to another position.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine)
This system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by recommending the most suitable
gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear engagement recommendations are
not to be considered mandatory. Indeed, the
configuration of the road, the traffic density and
safety remain determining factors when choosing
the best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to follow
the system’s advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears on the instrument panel, in the form of an arrow
and the recommended gear.
The system adapts the gear change instructions according to the driving
conditions (e.g.
slope, load) and driving style
(e.g.
power demand, acceleration, braking).
The system never suggests:
–

engaging first gear
.
–

engaging reverse gear
.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start function puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
phases when the vehicle is stationary (e.g.
red
lights, traffic jams). The engine automatically
restarts - START mode - as soon as the driver
indicates the intention of moving off again.
Primarily designed for urban use, the function
is intended to reduce fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise level
when stationary.
The function does not affect the functionalities of
the vehicle, in particular the braking.
