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.
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).

Safety
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you 
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the 
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle 
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the 
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h), 
regulation is paused automatically, the 
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the 
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in 
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the 
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the 
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal 
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes 
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel 
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system 
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in 
the button goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC  systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" 
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no  longer act on the operation of the engine 
or of the brakes in the event of a change of 
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving 
such as:
–
 
crossing and driving on terrain which 
could damage the underbody or strip away 
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due 
to obstacles or stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a stream.
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, 
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in 
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the 
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the 
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope 
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is not available: –  if the speed of the vehicle is above 43 
mph (70
  km/h),
–
 
if the speed of the vehicle is being 
controlled by the 
Adaptive Cruise Control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the 
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary 
or when moving at speeds up to approximately 
31 mph (50
  km/h).
 
 
 
 
► To select the system, at speeds below 
31 mph (50   km/h), press this button until 
its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green 
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19 
mph (30
  km/h).
►
 
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the 
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear , 
the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes rapidly,
–
 
if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal 
is depressed, the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the 
maintained descent speed is lower.

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.
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.
