ADVIcE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. however (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel con -sumption by
4%.
– For vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in city conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Avoid using the vehicle for door -
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op-
erating temperature.
t yres
– An under-inflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control C from 0 to 4.
The passenger compartment is ven -
tilated by blown air. The blower deter -
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
The further the control is positioned to
the right, the greater the amount of air
blown into the passenger compartment.

air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Turn control D towards air recirculation
symbol
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle. air recirculation is for:
–
isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position (iso -
lation mode) may mist up the win -
dows slightly or cause odours due
to the air not being renewed.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
pressing control D when you have
passed through the polluted area.

air conditioning control
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)
using button E.
The system cannot be switched on if
control C is set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– e l i m i n a t i n g c o n d e n s a t i o n m o r e
quickly. Use the air recirculation function to
lower the temperature as quickly as
possible to the required level. Switch
off the air recirculation function once a
comfortable level has been reached.
note: the air conditioning may be used
in all conditions but does not operate
when the external temperature is low.
