Eco-driving

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

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 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, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO

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.).

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. Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the ambient light level 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, mu sic, video game , etc.), you will contribute towards l imiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel. Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

emissions.

Eco-driving

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items at the back 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:

- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin 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 becomes polluting. As soon as possible, visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxides emissions compliant to the standard.

When filling the tank, do not continue after the

cut-off of the nozzle to avoid overflow.

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.

Permanent information

Whatever the display mode selected, the instrument panel displays:

- in fixed locations:

• gearbox and gear shift indicator information,

• the fuel gauge,

• the engine coolant temperature indicator,

• the driving mode,

• the total distance recorder.

- in variable locations:

Instruments

As a safety measure, these adjustments must be carried out with the vehicle stationary.

Choosing a display colour

This depends on the ambience activated by the i-Cockpit® Amplify function. Depending on version, it can be selected in the setting of a profile in the Settings menu of the touch screen. The possible choices are:

F "Relax": grey, F "Boost": red, F "Normal" (no ambience activated): blue.

For more information on the i-Cockpit® Amplify function, refer to the corresponding

section.

Warning and indicator lamps

Displayed as symbols, visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating status of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.

Associated warnings

The illumination of a lamp can be accompanied by an audible signal and/or a message displayed in a screen. Relating the type of alert to the operating status of the vehicle allows you to determine whether the situation is normal or a fault has occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for further information.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. These warning lamps should go off as soon as the engine is started.

For more information on equipment or a function, refer to the corresponding section.

Persistent warning lamp

When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of a red or orange warning lamp indicates a fault that needs further investigation, using any associated message and the description of the warning lamp in the documentation.

Where a lamp remains lit

The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning and indicator lamp description indicate whether you should contact a qualified professional in addition to the immediate recommended actions.

Retrieving the service information

The service information can be accessed via the "Check/Diagnostics" button in the Driving/Vehicle menu of the touch screen.

Engine oil level indicator

(Depending on version.) On versions fitted with an electric oil level

indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds after switching the ignition on, after the servicing information.

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.

Low oil level

This is indicated by the display of a message prompting you to top up, accompanied by the Service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid damage to the engine.

For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.

Oil level indicator fault

This is signalled by the display of the "Oil level measurement invalid" message in the

instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the oil level is no longer monitored. If the system is faulty, you must check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick located under the bonnet. For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

With the engine running:

- in zone A, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B, the temperature is too high; this warning lamp and the central STOP warning lamp come on in red in the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.

After switching off the ignition, open the bonnet cautiously and check the coolant level.

For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.

AdBlue® range indicators

These range indicators are present only on BlueHDi Diesel versions. Once the AdBlue detection of a fault with the SCR emissions control system, when the ignition is switched on, an indicator displays an estimate of the distance that can be covered, the range, before engine starting is prevented.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue

The engine starting prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue empty.

Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)

When the ignition is switched on, no information on range is displayed automatically.

The range information can be accessed via the Check/Diagnostics button in the Driving/Vehicle menu of the touch screen.

Remaining range between 1,500 and 500 miles (2,400 and 800 km)

When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp comes on for about thirty seconds, accompanied by a message ("Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres. The reserve level has been reached; it is recommended that you top up as soon as possible.

When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal (1 beep) and the display of a message ("Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres. When driving, the audible signal and the message display are triggered every 62 miles (100 km) until the level is topped up. It is essential to top up as soon as possible and before the tank is completely empty; otherwise it will not be possible to restart the engine after the next stop.

Remaining range less than 62 miles (100 km)

When driving, the audible signal and the message display are triggered every 6 miles (10 km) until the AdBlue tank is topped up. It is essential to top up as soon as possible and before the tank is completely empty; otherwise it will not be possible to restart the engine after the next stop.

When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp flashes, accompanied by the display of the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible".

TheAdBlue® tank is empty: the starting inhibition system required by legislation prevents starting of the engine.

To be able to restart the engine, it is essential to add at least 5 litres of AdBlue to its tank.

For more information on AdBlue (BlueHDi engines), and, in particular, on topping up, refer to the corresponding section.

In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system

A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 685 miles (1,100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions control system. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

Instruments

In the event of the detection of a fault

These warning lamps come on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault". The alert is triggered when driving when the fault is detected for the first time, then when switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys, while the fault persists.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears during the next journey, after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.

During the permitted driving phase (between 685 and 0 miles (1,100 and 0 km))

If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 31 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent display of the message signalling a fault), these warning lamps come on and the AdBlue warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in 200 miles) indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.

While driving, the message is displayed every 30 seconds while the fault with the SCR emissions control system persists. The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition. You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible. Otherwise you will not be able to restart the vehicle.

Starting prevented

Each time the ignition is switched on, these warning lamps come on and the AdBlue warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault: Starting prevented".

You have exceeded the authorised driving limit: the starting prevention system inhibits engine starting.

To be able to start the engine, you must call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Manual test

This function allows you to check certain indicators and display the alerts log.

It can be accessed via the Check/

Diagnostics button in the Driving/ Vehicle menu of the touch screen.

If necessary, the following information is displayed in the instrument panel:

- the engine oil level,

- when the next service is due,

- the driving range for the AdBlue and the SCR system for BlueHDi Diesel versions,

- current alerts.

This information is also displayed automatically every time the ignition is switched on.

Distance recorder

The total mileage is displayed for thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off, when the driver's door is opened and when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

When travelling abroad, you may have to change the distance units (km or miles): the display of road speed must be in the official units for the country (km/h or mph). The change of units is done via the screen configuration menu, with the vehicle stationary.

A few definitions…

Range

(miles or km)

The distance which can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank (at the average fuel consumption seen over the last few miles (kilometres) travelled).

This value may fluctuate if a change of driving style or terrain results in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.

When the range falls below 19 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 62 miles (100 km).

If dashes instead of figures continue to be displayed when driving, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Current fuel consumption

(mpg or km/l or l/100 km)

Calculated over the last few seconds.

This function is only displayed from 19 mph (30 km/h).

Average fuel consumption

(mpg or km/l or l/100 km)

Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

Average speed

(mph or km/h)

Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
