Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
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 (film, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously
checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning
in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to identify the
wheel concerned. The STOP
warning lamp comes on
and/or this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding
any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes.
)
Repair or change the damaged wheel
(punctured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

203Driving
Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfor t of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automatic
mode for automatic control of
the gears by the gearbox,
- manual
mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver.
In automatic mode, it remains possible to
change gear manually by using the steering
mounted control paddles, when overtaking, for
example.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on
(not f lashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
