FAMILIARISATION

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 (en-
gine 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.

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.

Indicator and warning lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a system is in
operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of
the occurrence of a fault (warning lamp).

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when
the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same warning lamps
should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the informa-
tion on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.

Operation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes on, this confi rms
that the corresponding system has come into operation.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fi xed)

Certain warning lamps may come on in two different

operating status of the vehicle can it be ascertained whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has occurred.
