Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waitingand 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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. Thesepractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions 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.


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 temperaturein the passenger compar tment 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.

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


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


As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting theconsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.

Vent ilat ion
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by thedriver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse the air in the passenger compar tment combining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
Aon the centre console. Depending on the model, the functionsoffered are:


- the level of comfor t required,

- air flow
,

- air distribution,

- demisting-defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.

3. Air distribution adjustment
The intake of exterior air avoids the formation of
mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates thepassenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist. Win

We recommend that
you use this mode.
It provides optimised automatic control of
all of the following functions: passenger compartment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air intake, in accordance with
the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
de
grees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Pr
ess the ""
and ""
buttons to change this value. A setting around
the value 21 enables optimum comfor t to be obtained. However,depending on your requirements, asetting between 18 and 24 is usual.


3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfor t programme may not be sufficient for rapid demisting or
defrosting of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button
3 indicator lamp comeson.
The system automatically controls the air conditioning and the flow of air and provides optimum air distribution to the windscreen andside windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5
.
To exit this programme, press button 3
again or "AUTO"
, the indicator lamp on the button goes off and "AUTO"
is displayed.



Manual override

To return to automatic mode, press the
"AUTO"button.
For your comfor t, when the engine isswitched off, the settings are retained until the engine is switched on again. To prevent too great a distribution of cold air when the engine is cold, the air flow will only reach its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior is very cold or hot, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort.The system corrects the temperaturedifference automatically and as quickly as possible.
Switching to manual mode may not besuitable (temperature, humidity, odour, condensation) and does not provideoptimum comfort.
