Familiarisation
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and avoid 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 ventsopen.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compar tment down (sunroof and windowblinds...).
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 lightdoes 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 the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
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 CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
The gear shift indicator invites you to change up: as soon as theindication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.

Motorised tailgate
Check that there is enough space to allow for
the movement of the tailgate.
Activation and deactivation of the motorised
tailgate function is done in the "Drivingassistance " menu, then " Vehicle settings
".
This function is deactivated by default.
Tailgate controls
A: Exterior control
B: Interior control
Never place a finger in the tailgatelocking system: risk of a seriousaccident!
The tailgate is not designed to suppor t a bicycle carrier.
When installing a bicycle carrier on atowbar, it is essential to deactivate theautomatic operation.
To avoid the risk of injury, ensure thatthere is no person close to the rear of the vehicle when opening and closing the motorised tailgate. Be careful of rear passengers.
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle detection system that automatically interrupts its operation if it contacts an obstacle (the movement is reversed bya few degrees to allow the tailgate tobe freed).
