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

Practical information
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 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks
 
A
  (max) 
and
  B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–
 
above mark
   A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark
  
B
 : top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the 
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable 
for your engine and complies with the 
recommendations in the service schedule 
supplied with the vehicle (or available 
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified 
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding engine compartment 
illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the  instrument panel when the ignition is 
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes 
following an addition of oil.   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
For more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi), 
and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
Manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly 
tightened (versions without quick-release 
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions 
to take before any work on the 12   V 
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
7Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector
The drive selector does not require any maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel 
or decreased effectiveness, the parking 
brake must be adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake 
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold" tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10
  minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10
 
kilometres) at over 31 mph (50   km/h), add 
0.3
 
bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases energy 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely 
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's 
road holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the 
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as 
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is 
less than 1.6
  mm; replace the tyres as soon as 
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres 
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer 
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away 
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be 
identified by this symbol on their 
sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when 
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

In the event of a breakdown
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
 
 
► Drive immediately for approximately three 
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed 
(between 12 and 37
  mph (20 and 60   km/h)), to 
plug the puncture.
►
 
Stop to check the repair and  measure the 
tyre pressure  using the kit.
Inflating, adjusting and 
checking tyre pressures
 
 
► Turn selector A to the "Inflation" 
position.
►
 
Uncoil the white pipe  G
 fully.
►
 
Connect the white pipe to the valve on the 
repaired tyre.
►
 
Reconnect the compressor's electric plug to 
the vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Start the vehicle and leave the engine 
running.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.
You must tell the technician that the kit has 
been used. After inspection, the technician 
will advise you on whether the tyre can be 
repaired or if it must be replaced.
►
 
Adjust the tyre pressure using the 
compressor (to inflate: set switch 
B to position 
"I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and 
press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre 
pressure label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that 
the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to 
have your vehicle repaired.
►
 
Remove the kit and stow it.
► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph 
(80   km/h) max.), limiting the distance 
travelled to approximately 125 miles 
(200
  km).
The compressor can also be used, without injecting sealant, to check and 
adjust the tyre pressures.
If after approximately 7 minutes the 
required pressure is not reached, this 
indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged; 
contact a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 
km) with a repaired tyre; see a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to 
have the tyre changed.   CarM an uals 2 .c o m
