FAMILIARISATION
ECO-DRIVING
  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 
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. 
  Remember to make use of equipment 
that can help keep the temperature 
in the passenger compartment down 
(sunroof and window blinds...).    
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 traffi 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.  
 
   
As a passenger, if you avoid 
connecting your multimedia devices 
(fi lm, 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.  
    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.

5-speed gearbox  
 
   
 
  To change gear easily, always press 
the clutch pedal fully. 
  To prevent the mat from becoming 
caught under the pedal: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat and its fi xings 
on the fl oor are positioned correctly, 
   
-  never fi t one mat on top of another.  
  When driving, avoid leaving your hand 
on the gear knob as the force exerted, 
even if slight, may wear the internal 
components of the gearbox over time.  
 
 
Engaging 5 th 
 gear. 
 
Push the gear lever fully to the right to 
engage 5 th   gear.  
Gear shift indicator 
 
 
In order to drive as fuel 
effi ciently as possible with a 
manual gearbox, this indicator 
lamp indicates to the driver 
when to change up. 
  The driver remains responsible for 
deciding whether or not to follow this 
indication, since the indicator lamp 
comes on without taking into account 
the confi guration of the road, the 
amount of traffi c and safety factors. 
  The system cannot be deactivated. 
 
 
When reverse gear is engaged 
and when changing down whilst 
decelerating, the function is not active.  
 
 
 
Engaging reverse 
 
To engage reverse gear, wait until the 
vehicle is stationary then push the gear 
lever to the right then back. 
  The lever should be moved slowly to 
reduce the noise on engaging reverse 
gear.

For safety: 
  It is only possible to come out

 if the brake pedal is 
pressed. 
  The change from position  A 
 (driving in 
automatic mode) to position  M 
 (driving 
in manual mode) or vice versa can be 
made at any time. The warning lamp  A 
 
goes off in the instrument panel.  
 
 
Moving off 
 
 
 
-   To start the engine, the gear 
selector must be in position  N 
. 
   
-  Press fi rmly on the brake pedal. 
   
-   Operate the starter. 
   
-   When the engine is running, place 
the gear selector on  R

 or  M 
 as 
desired. 
   
-   Release the brake pedal and 
accelerate.  
  If the gear selector is not in position  N

Good practice 
 
For maximum cooling or heating of the 
passenger compartment, it is possible 
to exceed the value 15 by turning until 
LO is displayed or the value 27 by 
turning until HI is displayed. 
  On entering the vehicle, the inside 
temperature may be much colder (or 
warmer) than is comfortable. There is 
no advantage in changing the value 
displayed in order to quickly reach the 
level of comfort required. The system 
will use its maximum performance to 
reach the comfort value set.  
 
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS  
   
Automatic operation 
 
 
AUTO comfort programme 
  This is the normal air conditioning 
system operating mode.    
Driver or passenger side comfort 
value 
  The value indicated in the screen 
corresponds to a level of comfort and 
not a temperature in degrees Celsius 
or Fahrenheit. 
  Turn this control to the left 
or to the right to decrease or 
increase the value. A setting 
around the value 21 provides 
optimum comfort. However, 
depending on your requirements, a 
setting between 18 and 24 is usual. 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor 
located on the dashboard.  
 
  Press this button, the  AUTO 
 
symbol is displayed. 
  In accordance with the comfort 
value selected, the system 
controls the distribution, the 
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee 
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of 
air in the passenger compartment. No 
further action on your part is required. 
 When the engine is cold, to prevent an 
excessive diffusion of cold air, the air diffuser 
will reach its optimum level gradually. 
  For your comfort, the settings are stored 
when the ignition is switched off and are 
reinstated the next time the vehicle is 
started. 
  The automatic function will no longer be 
maintained if you change a setting manually 
(AUTO is cleared).  
FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER

Parking sensors  
 
  The audible and/or visual rear parking 
sensor system consists of four 
proximity sensors, installed in the 
rear bumper. The sensors detect any 
obstacle which enters the fi eld: person, 
vehicle, tree, fence, behind the vehicle 
during the manoeuvre. 
  Certain objects detected at the 
beginning of the manoeuvre will no 
longer be detected at the end of the 
manoeuvre due to the blind spots 
between and below the sensors. 
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or 
pavement post.

SENSORS
 
 
Display in the screen  
 
 
 
Stop the assistance 
 
Change to neutral.     An audible signal confi rms 
the activation of the system by 
engaging reverse gear. 
  The proximity information is indicated 
by an audible signal which becomes 
more rapid as the vehicle approaches 
the obstacle. When the distance 
between the rear of the vehicle and 
the obstacle is less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal 
becomes continuous.
