Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
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 ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended 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.

FITTING ROOF BARS
For safety reasons and to avoid dam-
aging the roof, it is essential to use the
transverse bars approved for your ve-
hicle.
When fi tting roof bars, use only the four
fi xing points located in the roof frame.
The points are masked by the vehicle
doors when closed.
The roof bar fi xings include a stud to be
fi tted to the hole at each fi xing point.
Observe the fi tting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied
with the bars.
Maximum authorised weight on
the roof rack, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (with the ex-
ception of bicycle carriers): 55 kg.
As this value is subject to change,
check the maximum load fi gure
given in the guide provide d with
the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm,
adapt the speed of the vehicle
to the profi le of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the
fi xings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legis-
lation in order to comply with the
regulations for transporting ob-
jects which are longer than the
vehicle.
