fuel consumption Peugeot Rifter 2019 Owner's Manual

8
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
m ultimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), 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.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
c hange up without waiting. While accelerating,
change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage
the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se 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 help 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 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 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.). 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. Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Eco-driving

9
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items the 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, etc.). Preferably, use
a roof box.
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:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate
a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd 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 62

mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. There is a

risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i

f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-

i

f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat. To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
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 indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
- e ngaging first gear,
- enga ging reverse.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.

Operating faults
When the function is not activated,
this warning lamp temporarily
flashing and an audible signal
indicate a system fault.
If the fault occurs during the use of the system,
the warning lamp goes off. If the fault in the parking sensors,
indicated by this warning lamp
coming on, occurs during use, it
causes the function to deactivate.
In the event of a
fault, have the system checked
by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of a
fault with the
power steering, this warning lamp
flashes in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a


message.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving. The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check
the tyre inflation pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings
, refer to the
corresponding section.
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).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains.
Under-inflation alert
This warning is indicated by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
