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 gen-
tly, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon. If
your vehicle has the system, the gear
shift indicator invites you to change up;
it is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
,
according to the type of gear selector,
without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehi-
cles, use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions and also helps re-
duce the background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if
you have cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25 mph
(40 km/h).



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 be-
fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
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 (fi lm, music, vid-
eo game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical en-
ergy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

SAFETY








TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation
markings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving con-
ditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

This warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the screen
identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, to locate the wheel or
wheels which are not detected or to in-
dicate a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not
fi tted with
a sensor.

SAFETY
















BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).


Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and ABS

warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.









Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.


You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

105
SAFETY
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- repair and assembly procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located
in the middle of the dashboard.


If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come on,
this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.


Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
petrol engine).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.















TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting
on the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics. On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates the automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps.
