eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and Co
2 emissions.
eco-driving
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up without waiting. During acceleration
change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
give preference to automatic mode and avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
th

e 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 electronic or
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 progressively.
t
h
ese
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and C
o
2 emissions and also help
to 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
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.
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 regulation, as soon as the desired
temperature is attained.

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...). u
s
e 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:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter 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, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of operations
recommended in the manufacturer's service
schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting;
go to a P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the emissions
of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal
level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
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.

A few definitions
Range
(miles or km)the distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining in
the tank (related to the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
th

is value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
8 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km). If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a P
e

ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Gear efficiency indicator
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 going
through the intermediate gears.-

ou press the accelerator pedal.
-

Y
ou are in third gear.-
t
h
e system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
th

e information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
on v

ehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow
may be accompanied by the recommended
g e a r.
th

e system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (gradient, load,
...)
and the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,


...).
th

e system never suggests:

ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.ex
ample:
on c

ertain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
( N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (S
t

o
P m
ode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
th

is function cannot be deactivated.
The gear engagement
recommendations must not be
considered compulsory.
This is because the configuration of
the road, traffic density and safety
remain impor tant factors in the
choice of the best gear.
th

e gear efficiency indicator system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.

When the ignition is on, a message
appears in the instrument panel
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R.
t
h
is will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a P
e

ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop. You risk damaging 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 r
educe fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam...), position
the selector at N and apply the parking
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when
moving to position P .
If the selector 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 and a message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position


P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle. In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.

Stop & StartGoing into engine
STOP mode
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or
stationary (depending on engine); the "
eCo"
i

ndicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, S
t

o
P m
ode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed. If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
S
t

o
P m
ode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop & Start time
counter
the Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - St oP m ode -

e 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.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox
and the vehicle is stationary, the "
eCo"

ndicator lamp comes on and the engine goes
into standby automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear selector in
position N .
If your vehicle has an electronic gearbox and
the vehicle's speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h),
the "

Under-inflation detection
the system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
th

e system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.th e under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
th

is system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.th
e inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
ty

re 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).
ot

her wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Snow chains
the system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
Spare wheel
the steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.
