Eco-driving  
Eco-driving  
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.  
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  
when not required, if they are not automatically  
controlled.  
Optimise the use of your  
gearbox  
Drive smoothly  
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,  
use engine braking rather than the  
With a manual gearbox, move off gently  
and change up without waiting. When  
accelerating, change up early.  
brake pedal, and press the accelerator  
progressively. These practices contribute  
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and  
CO2 emissions and also help reduce the  
background traffic noise.  
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.  
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,  
favour automatic mode and avoid pressing the  
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.  
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when  
the ambient light level does not require their  
use.  
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.  
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.  
Avoid running the engine before moving off,  
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up  
much faster while driving.  
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or  
automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only  
in manual mode.  
Control the use of your electrical  
equipment  
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.  
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.  
Disconnect your portable devices before  
leaving the vehicle.  
Consider using equipment that can help keep  
the temperature in the passenger compartment  
down (sunroof blind, window blinds, etc.).

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine  
Limit the causes of excess  
consumption  
Observe the recommendations  
on maintenance  
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and  
observe the schedule of operations in the  
manufacturer's service schedule.  
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, etc.). Preferably, use a  
roof box.  
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,  
referring to the label in the door aperture,  
driver's side.  
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR  
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes  
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop as soon as possible to  
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxides emissions  
back in line with the regulations.  
Carry out this check in particular:

before a long journey,  
at each change of season,  
after a long period out of use.  
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on  
any trailer or caravan.  
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and  
refit your summer tyres.  
When filling the tank, do not continue after the  
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid overflow.  
For vehicles fitted with it, avoid using the  
Dynamic Pack for too long, in order to limit  
your fuel consumption.  
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.
