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).  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Dashboard instruments
In certain extreme weather conditions 
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.), 
the head-up display may not be legible or 
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the 
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, 
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or 
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive 
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to 
the risk of scratching the projection blade or 
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is  running, and the settings are saved when 
the ignition is switched off.
Warning and indicator 
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator 
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a 
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating 
status of a system (operation or deactivation 
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two 
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen. Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there 
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning 
and indicator lamp description indicate whether 
you should contact a qualified professional in 
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle
.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off 
the ignition.
(2): Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
(3): Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Practical information
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents, 
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the 
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean 
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on 
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of 
light, through variations in appearance and 
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 
remain visible and create a unique satin effect 
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 
roller-brush car wash.
Never select the programme with hot wax 
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped 
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to 
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products 
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least 
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
  is recommended 
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle 
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the 
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger 
marks), using a maintenance product 
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to 
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or 
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature 
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the 
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may 
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products 
(e.g.   alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of 
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts 
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or 
vacuum cleaner
.
Rub down the
  textile   parts once per year with 
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to 
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or 
you may cause the substance to 
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its  edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as 
possible using a spoon or spatula, and 
remove
  as much liquid as possible   using 
absorbent paper.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

E.Compartment housing a cable with an 
adaptor for a 12
  V socket.
F. Sealant cartridge.
G. White pipe with cap for repair and inflation.
H. Speed limit sticker.
The vehicle's electrical system allows the 
connection of the compressor for long 
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture 
repair.
Only use the two 12 V sockets, located at the 
front, to connect your compressor.
Repair and sealing 
procedure
► Park the vehicle without obstructing any 
traffic and apply the parking brake.
►
 
Follow the safety instructions (hazard 
warning lamps, warning triangle, wearing high 
visibility vest, etc.) according to the legislation in 
force in the country where you are driving.
► Switch off the ignition.► Turn the selector A to the "Repair" 
position.
►
 
Check that switch 
 B is in position " O".
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which 
have penetrated the tyre.
 
 
► Uncoil the white pipe  G  fully.
►  Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
►
 
Connect the white pipe to the valve of the 
tyre to be repaired.
►
 
Connect the compressor's electrical plug to 
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
► Affix the speed li mit sticker. 
The speed limit sticker must be secured 
to the interior of the vehicle in the driver's 
field of vision, to remind you that a wheel is in 
temporary use.
► Start the vehicle and leave the engine 
running.
Do not start the compressor before 
connecting the white pipe to the tyre 
valve: the sealant product would be expelled 
through the pipe.
►
 
Switch on the compressor by moving switch 
B
 to position I until the tyre pressure reaches 
2.0 bars. The sealant product is injected under 
pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect the 
pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of 
blowback).
If after approximately seven minutes this 
pressure is not reached, this indicates 
that the tyre is not repairable; contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for 
assistance.
►
 
Remove the kit and screw the cap back on 
the white pipe. 
Take care to avoid contaminating 
the vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to 
hand.
Take care, the sealant product is harmful  if swallowed and causes irritation to the 
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in 
standard waste, take it to a PEUGEOT dealer 
or an authorised waste disposal site.   CarM an uals 2 .c o m
