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.
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 set-
tle down to a consistent average.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due
is calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
-
the time elapsed since the last service.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The distance recorder
display line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.
Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner goes off
; the distance
recorder resumes its normal operation.
The screen then indicates the total and
trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due
Example:
400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains on
to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no ser-
vice information appears in the screen.
