the control for more than two seconds
or use the left hand thumb wheel of the
steering mounted controls.
Tr i p s "1" and "2" are independent but their use
is identical.
For example, trip "1" can be used for daily
figures, and trip "2" for monthly figures.
Advice

information is common, the symbols are not;
the touch screen symbols are shown.

Current information
Range
(miles or km)
The distance that can be
travelled using the remaining
fuel in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over
the last few miles).
Once the remaining range is below 20 miles

(30 km), dashes are displayed. After topping up with
at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and
displayed if it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(l/100 km or km/l or mpg)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Star t time counter
(if function present)
(In minutes / seconds -
hours / minutes)
If your vehicle has Stop & Start,
a time counter records the periods in
STOP mode during a journey.
It is reset to zero every time the ignition is
switched on using the key. This function is only displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value can vary following a change
in driving conditions or the relief of the
road, giving rise to a big difference in
current fuel consumption.
If dashes instead of figures continue
to be displayed when driving, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or 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 progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of 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
by opening 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 can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, 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 warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, 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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Direction indicators
F Lower the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the left.
F Raise the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the right.
Three flashes
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
3 times.
If you forget to cancel the
direction indicators for more than
twenty seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed
is above 40 mph (60 km/h). This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Hazard warning lamps
Automatic operation
When braking in an emergency, depending
on the deceleration, the lamps come on
automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you
accelerate.
F
You can also switch them off by pressing
the button.F
Press this button, all of the
direction indicators flash.
Visual warning with of all the direction
indicators flashing to alert other road users to a
vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.
They can operate with the ignition off.

Lighting
Main lighting
The vehicle has various different lamps:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fitted to fulfil the requirements
of particular driving conditions:
- a rear foglamp to better signal the
presence of the vehicle in foggy conditions,
- front foglamps with cornering lighting,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during
t h e d ay,
- guide-me-home and welcome lighting for
leaving and entering to the vehicle.
Automatic lighting
functions
Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- cornering lighting,
- welcome lighting,
- daytime running lamps,
- automatic illumination of headlamps.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Switching off the lamps
when the ignition is
switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting
is activated.
