Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday
practices that allow the motorist to optimise their
fuel consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up promptly. While accelerating, change
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this
indication is displayed on the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
With an 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 gradually. These attitudes
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and
decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "Drive Mode" control.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 25 mph (40

km/h) when the traffic is
flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds 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.).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting functions,
if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when
the visibility conditions do 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, avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.) to help reduce consumption of electrical
energy, and hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving
the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the
heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible
to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
minimise 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
summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the 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.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil,
oil filter

, air filter, passenger compartment filter,
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s
nitrogen oxide emissions to regulatory
compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your
new vehicle settle down to a consistent average
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

34
Access
Check that there is enough space to
allow for the movement of the motorised
tailgate.


Never insert a finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate - risk of
serious injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle detection
system that automatically interrupts and reverses
its movement by a few degrees, to allow the
obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around 1
cm from completely closed).
* Depending on version.
In case of battery failure
The micro-descent system may not
operate:
►

Open the driver's door gently
.
►

Recharge or replace the battery
.
►

Switch on the ignition again.
►


Slightly lower all the windows using the
driver's side electric window switches.
►


Reinitialise the windows.
Boot
Opening the tailgate

► With the vehicle unlocked or with the
"Keyless Entry and Starting" system electronic
key in the recognition zone, press the central
tailgate control.
►

Raise the tailgate.
When selective unlocking is activated,
the electronic key must be close to the
rear of the vehicle.
The tailgate is not designed to hold a bicycle carrier.
Closing the tailgate
► Lower the tailgate using the interior grips.
► Release the grips and press down on the
outside of the tailgate to close it.
In the event of a malfunction or if you
experience difficulty opening or closing
the tailgate, have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay,
to avoid the issue deteriorating and prevent
any risk of the tailgate dropping, potentially
causing serious injury.
Back-up release
To manually unlock the boot in the event of a
battery or central locking failure.
Unlocking
► Fold the rear seats to gain access to the lock
from inside the boot.


► Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the
lock to unlock the boot.
►

Move the latch to the left.
Locking after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked.
In the event of a fault with the central
locking system, it is essential to
disconnect the battery to lock the boot and so
ensure complete locking of the vehicle.
Hands-free tailgate
The motorised tailgate must only be operated with the vehicle stationary.

38
Access
The rear electric windows can still be controlled
using the driver's controls.
In the event of a serious impact, use of
the rear electric window controls is
re-enabled, if they had been deactivated.
Reinitialising the electric
windows
Following reconnection of the battery, or if
the windows move abnormally, the anti-pinch
function must be reinitialised.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active
during these operations.
For each of the windows:
► Lower the window fully, then raise it; it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the
window is fully closed.
► Continue to pull the switch for at least
one second after reaching the window closed
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this, press
the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers’
electric window switches, it is important to
ensure that nothing can prevent the window
from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.
If the failure originates from the battery, it is
recommended to recharge it or change it with the
tailgate closed.
In this situation, a significant force may be
needed to close the tailgate.
►

Close it gently without slamming, as slowly as
possible, by pushing at the centre of the tailgate.
Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at
one of its sides - risk of damage!
Precautions in use
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate while operating the towing
device:
–

Deactivate the hands-free function in
advance in the vehicle configuration menu.
–


Or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
For more information on the T

owing device
with retractable towball , refer to the
corresponding section.
In wintry conditions
To avoid any operating problems, remove
the snow or wait until the ice melts before
requesting motorised opening of the tailgate.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, do not forget to lock
the vehicle to prevent any risk of unwanted
opening.

Mirrors
Door mirrors
On versions fitted with ‘electrochrome’ mirrors,
a system connected to a brightness sensor
darkens the mirror to reduce the nuisance to the
driver caused by low sun or headlamp beams
from other vehicles.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/
defrosting of the heated door mirrors is
