Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A" , according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,use engine braking rather than thebrake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contributetowards a reduction in fuel consumption andCO2emissions and also helps reduce thebackground traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make useof the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.














































Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.

Access
Your vehicle is fitted with a tinted glass panoramicsunroof which increases the light and visibilityin the passenger compartment. Its electric blind helps control the temperature and noise level in
the passenger compartment.
The blind is controlled electrically by a rotaryopening dial.

Opening

Turn the dial to the left (several possible
opening settings).


Safety anti-pinch

If the blind encounters an obstacle duringclosing, it stops and par tially opens again to
the 2nd position.
If the blind fails to close at a second attempt,
it ma
y be necessary to force the closing of
the blind using the reinitialisation procedure.



Closing

Return the dial to the initial position.
If the position of the blind does not agree with
the position indicated by the dial, press the dial
to open the blind to this position.
Electric blind

In the event of contact during operationof the blind, you must reverse its movement. To do this, turn the dial. When the driver operates the dial, theymust ensure that nothing prevents theblind from closing correctly.
The driver must ensure that the passengers use the blind correctly.
Be aware of children during operationof the blind.


Reinitialising the system


Following reconnection of the battery, or in the event of a malfunction in its operation, it may be
necessary to reinitialise the system: ) turn the dial to the fully open position, )
wait until the blind is fully open,
)
then immediately press the dial for at least3 seconds,
I
f the blind opens on its own when closing,
as soon as possible after the blind stops:


- put the dial in the full
y closed position,

- press the dial,

- maintain pressure on the dial until the blind
closes. The anti-pinch function is inoperativeduring these operations.

Heating and Ventilation


Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compar tment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Controls

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the
front passenger and rear passengers, according to the level of equipment.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you toselect the air vents used in the passenger compar tment by the combined use of theassociated buttons.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are
grouped together on controlpanel Aon the centre console.

Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sunfor a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compar tment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.)To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation maycause misting of the windows and side windows.)Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.)Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep itin good working order. )Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compar tment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar tment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in anincrease in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improvestowing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under thevehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.)To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly.)If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
