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.
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.
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.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted
"CRUISE" control, use cruise control at speeds
above 19 mph (30 km/h) when traffic is flowing
smoothly.
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.
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.
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).

Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.► Monitor your environment and keep your hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
► Drive smoothly, anticipate the need for braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
► Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that require close attention (such as adjustments).► During long trips, take a break every two hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake
applied . Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot,
even several minutes after the engine stops.
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle :
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from those
of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as well as in
length, and some obstacles will be more difficult
to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no obstacles
at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle. Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest part
placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the maximum
load of the roof bar anchor points. Adhere to
the maximum permissible weight, according to
PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create a
risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the
height and width of the load must remain within
the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent and efficient
way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance so
that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
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.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:►
check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that might be generated by other users,► deactivate the Stop & Start function,► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),► do 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 about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.

Driving
6This system (also called HHC - Hill Hold
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
– the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake,– the gradient of the road must be steeper than 5%,– uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in a gear other than reverse,– downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase, you
may hear the typical mechanical brake release
noise, signalling the imminent movement of the
vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking brake
indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
– when the clutch pedal is released,– when the parking brake is applied,– when the engine is switched off,– if the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up, accompanied by
an audible signal and confirmed by a message
on the display. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
– worsens road-holding,– lengthens braking distances,– causes premature wear of the tyres,– increases fuel consumption.

72
Driving
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressures should be checked when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings, including the tyre pressure label,
refer to the corresponding section.
The tyre pressure measurement unit can be configured with the MODE button: in
the "Tyre pressure measurement” menu, select
"psi/bar/kPa".
For more information on Vehicle configuration
(MODE), refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of an anomaly noted on just one of
the tyres, depending on equipment, the symbol
or the message displayed identifies it.
► Reduce speed immediately , avoid excessive steering movements and avoid sudden braking.► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
► Using a compressor , such as the one in the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
► If it is not possible to make this check immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.► In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the tyre/tyres concerned is/are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by the
illumination of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message, indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, the tyre pressures are no longer
monitored.
This alert is also displayed if at least one wheel is not equipped with a sensor.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or, following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Pneumatic suspension

If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic
suspension, it is possible to change the height
of the rear sill, in order to facilitate loading or
unloading.



There is a normal sill level, as well as 3 higher levels (from +1 to +3) and 3 lower levels (from -1 to -3). Each level reached is displayed on the
instrument panel display screen.
Loading sill height manual
correction
Adjusting the platform sill up or down
► A quick press on one of the controls selects the upper or lower level. Each press (diode lit)
increases or decreases by one level.
A long press on one of the controls selects the
maximum corresponding level (-3 or +3).
Returning to the normal sill height
► Press the same number of times in the opposite direction of the displayed position.
Deactivation/Reactivation
► Press and hold both controls simultaneously to deactivate/reactivate the system.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting of the
control LEDs.
Beyond a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h), the
system reactivates automatically.
Loading sill height
automatic correction
Beyond a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the
system automatically restores the rear sill height
to its normal level.

Practical information
reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)


To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the bonnet,
close to the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, the filter
must be purged to remove water.
You can also purge the fuel filter regularly, every
time the engine oil is changed.
Bleeding the water in the filter

► Couple a clear hose to the bleed screw 1head.► Place the other end of the clear hose in a container.► Loosen bleed screw 2.► Switch on the ignition.► Wait for the scavenge pump to stop.► Switch off the ignition.► Tighten bleed screw 2.► Remove, then drain the clear hose and the container.► Start the engine.► Check that there are no leaks.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Any intervention requires a
special qualification guaranteed by the
PEUGEOT dealer network or a qualified workshop .
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

11 0
In the event of a breakdown
► Lightly tighten using wheelbrace D and wheel
bar B.
► Lower the vehicle using wheelbrace D and
wheel bar B, and then remove the jack.
► Tighten the bolts again using wheelbrace D
and wheel bar B.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by
the Manufacturer's dealer network or a
qualified workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
refitted on the vehicle as soon as possible.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation
detection, check the tyre pressures and
reinitialise the system.
5 - Storing the wheel to be
repaired
You must reposition the wheel to be repaired or
the spare wheel under the vehicle to lock the
winch system.
Check that it is securely fastened in its
compartment under the floor.
Improper wheel positioning can compromise
safety.
► Reposition the wheel at the rear of the vehicle.
With steel wheels:


► Hang bracket I on the outer part.► Screw handle H to secure the bracket and
the steel wheel.
With alloy wheels:


► Position bracket J on caliper I.► Screw handle H.► Screw the three fixing bolts K of caliper I onto
the alloy wheel.


► Install extended socket A, wheelbrace D and
wheel bar B on the retaining bolt.
► Turn the assembly clockwise to completely wind up the cable and raise the wheel as far as
possible under the vehicle.
► Check that the wheel is flat against the floor of the vehicle and that the notch G of the winch
is visible.
► Store the tools and the wheel trim (depending on version).
For more information on the Identification markings of the
vehicle, and in particular the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
► do not clean them using a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or
solvent product,
► use a sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product,► when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the lamps or their edges for
too long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes - Risk
of serious burns!
► Do not touch the bulb directly with your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
with the same type and specification.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the glass
of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
