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 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.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by 
selecting it using the "DRIVE MODE" control.
With an EAT8 gearbox, with the gear selector in 
mode
  D, and except in   Sport mode, favour "free-
wheeling" by gradually lifting your foot fully off 
the accelerator pedal in order to save fuel.
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).

Dashboard instruments
1On 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 a message prompting you to 
top up the level, 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.
–
 
In zone 
 B, the temperature is too high. The 
associated warning lamp and the  STOP
  warning 
lamp light up in red on the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message and 
an audible signal.
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.
Driving range information is accessible 
using the Settings   > Vehicle application 
on the touch screen.

Then select 
 Safety   > Diagnostics.

Practical information
7Opening 
 
 
 
► From the inside:  pull the control lever , 
located on the left below the dashboard, towards 
you.
 
 
► From the outside:  lift the safety catch and 
raise the bonnet.
T
wo bonnet struts open the bonnet and hold it 
open.
Closing
► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end 
of its travel.
►
 
Check the locking.
Because of the presence of electrical 
equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly 
recommended that exposure to water (rain, 
washing, etc.) be limited.

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the Manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the  Manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the

Practical information
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12  V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine 
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is 
indicated by the temporary lighting of this 
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert 
message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate 
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 
37
  mph (60   km/h), with an engine speed above 
2,500
  rpm, for about 15   minutes (until the 
warning lamp goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
  mph (60   km/h), 
leave the engine running at idle for about 15 
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above 
2,500
  rpm for 15   minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter 
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals 
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is 
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice 
water vapour coming from the exhaust while 
accelerating. These emissions have no 
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the 
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter 
regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
