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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Rear bench seat
Bench seat with fixed cushions and split folding
backrests (2/3-1/3) to adapt the boot load space.
Folding the backrests
Each section of the backrest has two release
controls:
–
A
grip 1 on the outer edge of the backrest.
–
A
lever 2 on the boot side trim (depending on
version).
The backrests should only be manoeuvred when the vehicle is
stationary.
First steps:
►
Lower the head restraints.
►
Lift up the rear armrest.
►
If necessary
, move the front seats forward.
►
Check
that no person or object might interfere
with the folding of the backrests (e.g.
clothing,
luggage).
►
Check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
► Check that the centre seat belt buckle is
stored in its housing.
The folding of the backrest is accompanied by a slight lowering of the
corresponding cushion.
To obtain a flat surface, it is necessary to
place the adjustable boot floor in the high
position.
When the backrest is released, the red
indicator in the release grip is visible.

row passengers can also get out after
having folded the backrest of the second row
seats using strap C.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Third row seats
The two third row seats are stored in a retracted
position in the bottom of the boot. Each one is
covered with rigid concertina panels, secured to
the vehicle.
Do not let children operate the seats
unsupervised.
Each concertina panel can support a
maximum load of 100
kg with the third
row seats folded away.
With the third row seats removed and the
removable concertina panels supports
installed, the maximum load is limited to
50
kg.
When there is a seat at the back of the boot, the
removable support is fixed against the front wall
of its housing.
If the seat is removed from the back of the boot
for extra storage space, the removable support
must be installed on the two lugs on the central
wall.
Folding the concertina
panels
► Pull one of the straps; the 3 sections of the
corresponding panel fold into concertina form.
When the 3
rd row seats are straightened, these
folded concertina panels can be left upright or
flat behind the seats (freeing up the seat well as
a storage space).
