ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 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. If your
vehicle has the system, the gear effi -
ciency indicator invites you to change
up; it is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



Maintain a safe distance between vehi-
cles, use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contrib-
ute towards a reduction in fuel consump-
tion and CO
2 emissions and also helps
reduce the background traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing 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 leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down
(sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, 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.
Switch off the headlamps and front fo-
glamps 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.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

MONITORING
Certain warning lamps may
come on in two different modes.
Only by relating the type of illu-
mination to the operating status
of the vehicle can it be ascer-
tained whether the situation is
normal or whether a fault has
occurred.
Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occur-
rence of a fault (warning lamp).

Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fi xed) or fl ash.

Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on, this confi rms that the corresponding
system has come into operation.

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same warning lamps should go off.

If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the information on the warning lamp concerned.
