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 to 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.
I
f 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.

You risk damaging the gearbox:
F
i f you press the brake and
accelerator pedals at the same
time,
F

i
f you force the movement of the
lever from position P to another
position with a flat battery.
To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(traffic jams...), position the gear lever
at N and apply the parking brake.

lace the lever at position P ;
the


message disappears.
On flooded roads or when crossing a
ford, drive at walking pace. With the ignition on, illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and an alert
message in the screen, indicates of
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode by staying in 3rd gear. You may then
notice a pronounced jerk when changing from
P to R and from N to R . This jerk does not
present any risk to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) while
keeping to local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Gear shift indicator
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. This is because
the configuration of the road, the traffic density
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications given.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load,
...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
