Eco-Driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise fuel consumption and COâ‚‚ 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, prefer automatic mode and avoid pressing the accelerator heavily or suddenly. Follow the gear shift indicator immediately when displayed.

Drive Smoothly

Maintain a safe distance, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. Use cruise control above 25 mph (40 km/h) when traffic is flowing. These practices reduce fuel consumption, COâ‚‚ emissions, and background traffic noise.

Control the Use of Electrical Equipment

Ventilate the vehicle before using air conditioning. Close windows above 30 mph (50 km/h). Switch off air conditioning, demisting, heated seats, and lamps when not needed. Avoid running the engine before moving off in winter. Disconnect multimedia devices before leaving the vehicle.

Limit Causes of Excess Consumption

Spread loads, keep heavy items low in the boot, reduce wind resistance (remove roof bars, racks, boxes), and check tyres seasonally. Follow service schedules. For BlueHDi Diesel engines, have SCR system faults checked immediately at a PEUGEOT dealer.

Driving Safety Recommendations

Never drive with the parking brake applied. Avoid running the engine near flammable materials. Never leave the vehicle unsupervised with the engine running. Always apply the parking brake and use the correct gear (neutral, N, or P).

Driving on Flooded Roads
  • Check that water depth does not exceed 15 cm
  • Deactivate Stop & Start system
  • Drive slowly without stalling (max 6 mph / 10 km/h)
  • Do not stop or switch off the engine

After leaving flooded roads, apply light braking to dry discs and pads. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer if unsure.

Starting the Vehicle

Gearbox
  • Manual: Place gear lever in neutral
  • Automatic: Place gear lever at P or N
  • Electronic: Place gear lever at N
Ignition

Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or remote control. The original key contains a coded electronic chip. Engine starts only if the code is detected. This prevents starting after break-in or theft.

Electronic Engine Immobiliser

Keep the label attached to the keys for replacement purposes. If a fault occurs, a warning lamp illuminates.

Steering Wheel

In some cases, you may have to apply slight pressure to unlock the steering wheel.
