ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not really needed. However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
w i n d o w s o p e n a t 6 0 m p h ( 1 0 0 k m / h ) w i l l i n c r e a s e f u e l consumption by 4%.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits in between) because the engine never reaches its normal operating temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–
In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (espe- cially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few mo- ments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob
- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating. For vehi- cles fitted with manual air condition- ing, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and therefore helping to preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap- proved dealer in the event of an op- erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist
- ing or air conditioning perform- ance. This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin.
Notes
Presence of water under the ve- hicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.
Do not add anything to the vehicle’s ventilation circuit (for example, to remove bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of fire.
