ECO-DRIVING

Optimise the use of your gearbox


With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
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.



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 helps reduce
the background 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 electricalequipment


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.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in the
passenger compartment down (sunroof and
window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic digital regulation, as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.
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 (film, music,
video game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical
energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.

20
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...). Use a roof
box in preference.
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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres
on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent
average.

ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER
All of the keys contain an electronic
immobiliser device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition. Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
However, if none of the doors is opened
within approximately thirty seconds following
unlocking, the doors relock automatically.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.
The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off, except for reinitialisation.
Make a careful note of the number of the
keys. If they are lost, your PEUGEOT dealer
will be able to carry out his work more
quickly and effectively if you give him this
number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system. This warning lamp is switched off
after the ignition is switched on
and the key has been recognised,
the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment
by the emergency services more diffi cult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time. After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:



- ensure that you are given the
confidential card,

- have the keys memorised by a
PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
CONFIDENTIAL CARD

This is given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code necessary
for any work carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer on the electronic immobiliser system.
This code is hidden by a film, which should
be removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside
the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you
along with your personal papers.

Access
While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion
triggers the siren for approximately
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the
direction indicators.
The alarm then returns to monitoring mode
but the triggering event is stored and is
indicated by rapid flashing of the LED, if the
alarm is deactivated.
The alarm is also triggered following an
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is
restored.
Automatic activation

Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold: this function activates
monitoring automatically approximately
2 minutes after the last door is closed. To
avoid triggering the alarm when opening a
door, the unlocking button on the remote
control must be pressed again.
Deactivation using the key

Unlock the doors using the key and enter the
vehicle. Switch on the ignition, identification
of the key code will switch off the alarm.

Deactivation using the remote control

When this button is pressed, the
alarm is deactivated when the
vehicle is unlocked.


Deactivation of the anti-tilt protection *

Press this control to deactivate
the protection (when towing the
vehicle with the alarm on, for
example).
The protection remains active until the doors
are unlocked with the central locking.
ALARM

If your vehicle is fitted with an ANTI-THEFT
ALARM.
This provides:


- exterior perimeter protection by
detectors on the openings (doors,
bonnet) and on the electrical power
supply,

- anti-tilt protection.

The system also includes a siren and an
LED which can be seen from outside,
indicating the three possible states of the
alarm:


- alarm activated (monitoring), slow
flashing of the red LED,

- alarm not activated (not monitoring),
LED off,

- alarm triggered (intrusion signal), rapid
flashing of the red LED when the vehicle
is unlocked.


Activation of the alarm

First ensure that all of the doors are closed
correctly.
The alarm is activated by
pressing this padlock, the
protection is active after a few
seconds.

* Depending on engine.


Good practice


To deactivate the siren quickly following
unwanted triggering:


- switch on the ignition, identification of
the key code will switch off the alarm,

- press the unlocking button (cab and key)
on the remote control.
To avoid setting the alarm, when washing
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle
using the key.
Unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control deactivates the siren automatically.
