Eco- driving
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 gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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 help reduce the
background traffic noise.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (sunroof blind and window blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
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.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia 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.
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. 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.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
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.
Eco-driving

7
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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

diagnostic
system Fixed.
The emission control system has a
fault.
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.
Flashing.The engine management system has
a fault.There is a risk that the catalytic converter will be destroyed.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

pre-heatingFixed.
The key is at position 2 (ignition on)
in the ignition switch. Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the climatic conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in extreme conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the indicator lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

This value may vary following a change
in the driving style or the relief, resulting
in a significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below around 20 miles
( 30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at
least 5
litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed if it exceeds around 60
miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving instead of digits, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Turn off the demisting/defrosting of
the rear screen and the side mirrors
(depending on the version) as soon as
you consider it necessary.
Lower energy consumption reduces
fuel consumption.Advice
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the
air extractor located in the rear free from
obstructions.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10
minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating
air quality inside the passenger
compartment, you should not deactivate
the system for too long and avoid
extended operation of the air recirculation
system when driving.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits). F
T o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked regularly according to
the Warranty and Maintenance Record
recommendations.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
Stopping the vehicle
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
in the screen, indicates a gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R. This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
selector from position P to another
position when the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in the N position and apply the
parking brake.
D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
selected gear flashes for a few seconds, then
the actual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox engages first gear
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes are
inactive in manual operation.
Before switching off the engine, you can engage
position P or N to place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to keep
the vehicle stationary.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, a warning message appears on the
screen.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking pace. Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
