Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO₂emissions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,

use engine braking rather than the

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.

With a manual gearbox, move off gently and

change up early.

brake pedal, and press the accelerator

progressively. These practices contribute

towards a reduction in fuel consumption and

CO₂emissions and also help reduce the

background traffic noise.

With an automatic gearbox, give preference

to automatic mode and avoid pressing the

accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as

possible.

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.

For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,

this indicator appears only in manual mode.

Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when

the visibility conditions do not require their

use.

Control the use of your electrical

equipment

Avoid running the engine before moving off,

particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up

much faster while driving.

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.).

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

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Observe the recommendations

on maintenance

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place

the heaviest items the 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.

When filling the tank, do not continue after the

3^rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid overflow.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and

refit your summer tyres.

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.

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.
