The heating/ventilation or air condition-
ing systems can only operate with the
engine running.
)

If you place the air fl ow control
in position 0
(deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfort-
able level. However, a slight
fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.



3. Air distribution adjustment
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

The control button is
located on the heat-
ing or air conditioning
system control panel.
REAR SCREEN DEMIST/DEFROST


)
Switch off the demist/defrost
of the rear screen and door
mirrors as soon as you con-
sider this possible as lower
current consumption results
in reduced fuel consumption.



Switching on

The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the door mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.



Switching off

The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demist/de-
frost operation before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button switches off.

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.
In fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain de-
termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompa-
nied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.



* According to engine.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The gearbox operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the
most suitable gear for:


- optimisation of fuel consumption,

- the style of driving,

- the profi le of the road,

- the vehicle load.

For optimum acceleration, for example
when overtaking another vehicle, press
the accelerator pedal fi rmly past the
point of resistance.

Never select neutral N
when
driving.
You can change mode at any
time by moving the gear lever
from A
to M
or the other way
round.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode -
during stops in the traffi c (red lights, traf-
fi c jams, or other...). The engine restarts
automatically - START mode - as soon as
you want to move off. The restart takes
place instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:


- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system
, at speeds below 5 mph
(8 km/h), when you press the brake
pedal or put the gear lever in position N
.


For your comfort, during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as for example, braking, power
steering...

A time counter calculates the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It
rests itself to zero every
time the ignition is switched
on with the key.

Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes
for a few seconds then goes off.

This operation is perfectly normal.

TECHNICAL DATA
IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi cation of your vehicle.

If the infl ation pressures are too low,
this increases fuel consumption.


The infl ation pressures must
be checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.



A.
Vehicle Identifi cation Number (VIN)
on the front right door pillar.
This number is engraved on the
bodywork near the hinge.
For access to it, open the right-hand

destroying label affi xed to the centre
pillar, on the left-hand side.
D.

lar, on the left-hand side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures with and
without load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare
wheel,

- the paint colour code.
