18ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

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.

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



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.
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.


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.


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.
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.

Access
At your request, the dealer network can
deactivate this selectivity of opening
between the cab and the load space; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

REMOTE CONTROL

This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.

ACCESS


Unlocking the cab

Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective door locking function is active
when the vehicle is delivered.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.


Central locking

Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.


Deadlocking

If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press
on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking. Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.


Folding / unfolding the key

Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.


Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

Instruments and controls

After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.


Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:


- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,

- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0"
, release the
button; the spanner disappears.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information.

Oil level correct

Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"
, linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.



Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.


Lighting dimmer

With the lighting on, press the
button to vary the brightness
of the instruments and
controls. When the lighting
reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again to
increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.
Service overdue
With the engine running the spanner remains
on until the service has been carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also comes on if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

Changing into 5 th
or 6 th
gear

Move the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5 th or 6 th
gear. To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.


GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL


5-speed gearbox
6-speed gearbox
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR


In order to drive as fuel effi ciently
as possible with a manual gearbox,
this indicator lamp indicates to the
driver when to change up.
The driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow this indication, since
the indicator lamp comes on without taking
into account the configuration of the road,
the amount of traffic and safety factors.
The system cannot be deactivated.

When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is not active.



Engaging reverse gear

In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
