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


Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-
tly, change up without waiting and drive
by changing up quite soon. If your vehi-
cle has the system, the gear effi ciency
indicator invites you to change up; it is
displayed in the instrument panel, fol-
low its instructions.

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



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



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 at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-
ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

VENTILATION

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.


Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).



Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen
and side windows.

5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.

Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.

)
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp goes off to confi rm this.

This function allows hot or cold
air to be delivered selectively
and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon
as possible to prevent deterioration of
the the air quality and the formation of
mist. The air conditioning does not
operate when the air fl ow adjust-
ment control 2
is in position " 0 ".
