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.
DRIVE SMOOTHLY
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.
When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
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.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sun roof 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 (fi lm, 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
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Page 23 of 276
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
refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) 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 overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

A FEW DEFINITIONS…
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in relation to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled.
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving
or the relief, resulting in a signifi cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This function is only displayed from 20 mph (30 km/h). When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.

)
Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or press the "AUTO"
button to
reactivate the system with the values set before it was switched off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or
driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation
and deterioration of the air quality).
8. Air intake/Air recirculation
)
Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The
indicator lamp on the button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from
exterior odours and smoke.
)
As soon as possible, press this button again to permit the intake of
outside air and prevent the formation of condensation. The indicator
lamp on the button switches off.
9. Mono-zone/Dual-zone

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
OPERATION
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi guration of the road, the amount of traffi c
and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (fi rm pressure on the accelerator pedal,
for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of
an arrow accompanied by the suggested gear.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear,
if appropriate.
Page 134 of 276
132
It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
M
and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two positions).
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P
or N
to
place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle. If the lever is not in position P
, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is
an audible signal is heard accompanied by a message.
)
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
OPERATING FAULT
When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same
time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N
and apply the parking brake.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.
A.
Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near the damper
support.
For access to it, raise the plastic cover.
C.
Manufacturer's label.
The number is indicated on a self-destroying label affi xed to the
door aperture, below the door striker, on the right-hand side.
This label also indicates the unladen weight, the gross vehicle
weight (GVW) and the gross train weight (GVW).
For information concerning the possibilities for installing snow
chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
The infl ation pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.
If the infl ation pressures are too low, this increases fuel
consumption.
B.
VIN on the windscreen lower crossmember.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.
D.
Tyre/paint label.
This label is affi xed to the door aperture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden and unladen,
- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,
- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,
- the infl ation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
