18ECO-DRIVING

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

Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

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



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.
Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does not
require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will
warm up much faster while driving.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.

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


As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music,
video game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical
energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in the
passenger compartment down (sunroof
and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it
has automatic digital regulation, as soon
as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

and rear fo
glamps (amber,

T
o switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in
succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Do not for
get to switch them off when they
are no longer needed.
Automatic illumination of the headlamps
switches off the rear foglamps, but the front
foglamps remain on.

Daytime running lamps

Depending on the country in which the vehicle
is sold, the vehicle ma
y be equipped with
daytime running lamps. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
Th
e instruments and controls
(instrument panel, screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are only
illuminated on switching to the automatic
illumination of headlam
ps mode or when the
lamps are switched on manually.




Front and rear foglamps

Rotate ring Bforwards to switch on and
rearwards to switch off. The status is
confirmed by the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
These operate with the sidelamps and the
di
pped beam headlamps.
Front
foglamps (green, 1st
rotation of the ring forwards).
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.

Intake of exterior air


Recommended settings

For optimum operation of the manual system, the settings below are recommended: Th
e LED in the button is off. This is
the preferred operating position.


Recirculation of interior air


The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditionin
g switched on
and settin
g of the force of blown air
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you to
obtain the re
quired ambient air comfort level
more quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should onl
y be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake o
f exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operatin
g mode is preferable.

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passen
ger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 b
y turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 b
y turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum com
fort, the difference between
the value displa
yed for the driver and for the
passen
ger should not be greater than 3. I
f your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature ma
y be much colder (or warmer)
than is comfortable. There is no advanta
ge
in changing the value displayed in order to
quickly reach the level of comfort required.
The s
ystem will use its maximum performance
t
o reach the comfort value set.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in de
grees Celsius or
F
ahrenheit.
Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
l
ocated on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operat
ing mode.
Press this button, the AUTOsymbol is
displayed.
Dependin
g on the comfort value selected,
t
he system controls the distribution,
the
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passen
ger
compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent anexcessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For
your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and arereinstated the next time the vehicle isstarted, if the temperature in the passenger compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. T
urn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A settin
g around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a settin
g between 18 and 24
i
s usual.
