FAMILIARISATION
MONITORING

The instrument panel has permanent back-
lighting for improved visibility in all situations,
both day and night.


- With the ignition on, the fuel gauge needle
should indicate the level of fuel remaining.

- With the engine running, its associated
low level warning lamp should switch off.

- With the ignition on, the oil level indicator
should display "OK" or "correct",
depending on version, for a few seconds.
If the levels are not correct, top up the levels
which are low.

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 shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

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



DRIVE SMOOTHLY


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.

When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).



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 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 (fi lm, 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.














































ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

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
refi t 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 particular:


- 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 serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe 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 overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

red zone,
accompanied by
an audible signal
and a message. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 5 litres
of
fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the
fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning lamp
will come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity : approximately 55 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this
could damage the emission control and injection systems.
