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.
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
refit 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.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
over flow.
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.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after
the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you
will see the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Six-speed electronic gearbox which offers a
choice between the comfort of fully automatic
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
There are two driving modes:
- automated
mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox, without any
action on the part of the driver
- manual
mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver using the steering mounted
paddles.
In automated mode, you can temporarily take
over control of gear changing.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from each
of the bolts using the tool 3
(according to
equipment).
Fit the security socket 4
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security bolt.

257Practical information
Place the jack 2
in contact with one of the
two front A
or rear B
locations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate is in
contact with the ground. Ensure that the
centreline of the jack base plate is directly
below the location A
or B
used.
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
to admit the spare (not punctured) wheel
easily.
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
Remove the wheel.
