Eco-driving

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your 
multimedia 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 CO

2

 emissions.

Optimise the use of your 

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently, 
change up without waiting and drive by 
changing up quite soon.

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.

The gear efficiency 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. These practices contribute 
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and 
CO

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

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 open the air vents.
Remember to make use of equipment that can 
help keep the temperature in the passenger 
compartment down (window blinds, etc.).

Switch off the headlamps and fog lamp 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.

Switch off the air conditioning 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.

10

Eco-driving

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...). 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.
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, etc.) and observe the 
schedule of operations recommended by the 
manufacturer.

When filling the tank, do not continue after the 
3

rd

 cut-off of the nozzle to avoid overflow.

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.

Warning lights

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lights come on for a few 
seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched 
on.
When the engine is started, these same 
warning lights should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off refer to the 
information on the warning light concerned.

Associated warnings

Certain warning lights may come on in one of 
two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the 
operating status of the vehicle can it be 
ascertained whether the situation is normal or 
whether a fault has occurred.
In the event of a fault, the illumination of the 
warning light may be accompanied by an 
audible signal and/or a message.

Warning lights

When the engine is running or the vehicle is 
being driven, illumination of one of the following 
warning lights indicates a fault which requires 
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a 
warning lamp must be investigated further 
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

If one of the following indicator lights comes on 
in the instrument panel and/or instrument panel 
screen, this confirms that the corresponding 
system has come into operation.

Operation indicator lights

Deactivation indicator lights

If one of the following indicator lights comes 
on, this confirms that the corresponding system 
has been switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message being displayed.
