FAMILIARISATION

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 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.

The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.

For vehicles ﬁ tted 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. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2

emissions and also helps reduce the background trafﬁ c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds

above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the trafﬁ c is ﬂ owing 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 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.

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.

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, passenger compartment ﬁ lter...) and observe the schedule of

operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.

When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.

Visual indicators which inform the driver of the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp) or of the operation of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamp).

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.

When the engine is started, these warning lamps should go off. If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information for the

warning lamp concerned.

Associated warnings

The illumination, ﬁ xed or ﬂ ashing, of certain warning lamps may be

accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. Depending on your version of instrument panel, illumination of the

warning lamp is also accompanied by:

- a symbol in the central instrument panel screen and a message in

the multi-function screen,

- a symbol and a message in the central instrument panel screen.

Warning lamps

When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on the part of the driver.

The illumination of a warning lamp is always accompanied by the display of an additional message, to assist you in identifying the fault.

If you encounter any problems, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁ ed workshop.

- opening of the doors, boot or bonnet,

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash level,

- ﬂ at remote control battery,

- saturation of the particle emission ﬁ lter (Diesel) As soon as trafﬁ c conditions permit, regenerate the

ﬁ lter by driving at a speed of at least 36 mph (60 km/h)

until the service warning lamp goes off.

- a fault with the tyre under-inﬂ ation detection system,

- ... For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
