SITTING COMFORTABLY

21
Limit the causes of excessconsumption

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 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.

VISIBILITY





The lighting time varies accord-
ing to the circumstances:


- when the ignition is off, ap-
proximately ten minutes,

- in energy economy mode, ap-
proximately thirty seconds,

- when the engine is running,
no limit. This comes on automatically when the
boot is opened and switches off auto-
matically when the boot is closed.
Torch
This is a removable lamp, fi tted in the
side of the boot, which can be used to
illuminate the boot or as a torch.




BOOT LAMP

Use


)
Extract the torch from its location by
pulling it from the front.

)
Press the switch, located on the
back, to switch the torch on or off.

)
Unfold the support, located on the
back, to set down and raise the
torch; for example, when changing
a wheel.


Storing


)
Put the torch back in place in its lo-
cation starting with the rear.
If you have forgotten to switch off
the torch, this switches it off auto-
matically.
It the torch is not engaged correctly, it
may not charge and may not come on
when the boot is opened.


Operation
This torch operates with NiMH type re-
chargeable batteries.
It has a battery life of approximately
45 minutes and charges while you are
driving.
Observe the polarities when fi t-
ting the batteries.
Never replace the rechargeable
batteries with single-use batteries.
