As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
m ultimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Eco- driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
a nd change up without waiting. When
accelerating, change up early.
With an automatic 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 automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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 help reduce the
b
ackground 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 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 (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.). Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving. 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 when not required, if they are not
automatically controlled.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Eco-driving is a

range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD system manages the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Safety

61
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, this indicates a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a
problem with grip or trajectory. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate these systems as soon as the level
of grip permits.
Deactivation of ASR and DSC using the button
F Press this button.
The orange indicator lamp in the button comes
on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Deactivation of ASR using the touch screen
The deactivation is configured in the
Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.

Safety

Driving advice
Observe driving regulations and remain vigilant
whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a
long journey, taking a break every two
hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a
risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.) – Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
If you are obliged to drive on a
flooded road:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.

the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not tow a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing device is used.

hen the engine starts, release the key.
With Petrol engines , after a
cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2
minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
Electronic immobiliser
The original key contains a coded electronic
c hip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This anti-theft protection locks the engine
management system a
few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a


break-in.
In the event of a
fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, the emission of an
audible signal and the display of
a


message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
