ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
– In 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.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:
– It is advisable to 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 to the brim to
avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob
- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
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 will increase fuel consumption by 4% at a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h). –
Avoid using the vehicle for door-to
- door journeys (short journeys, with long stops in-between) because in these conditions, the engine never reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.

Environnement
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with the aim of caring for the environment.
– Most versions are equipped with a
particle filter system including a cat- alytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air.)
–
These vehicles operate with un- leaded fuel only.
– 87% of the parts in your vehicle
can
be recycled and it already contains parts made using recycled materi- als.
– 95% of the plastic components
in your vehicle are marked with a symbol which allows the principal component material to be identified. These markings mean that parts re- moved can be sorted more easily, making it easier to recycle them.
In addition to this, your vehicle meets the requirements laid down in European legislation relating to environmental protection.
Make your contribution towards pro- tection of the environment too.
Do not dispose of parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (battery, oil filter, air filter, etc.) and oil containers (empty or full of used oil) with household waste.
Dispose of them through specialist or- ganisations. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

Controls(depending on vehicle)
A Adjusting the ventilation speed. B Adjusting the air temperature. C Selecting recirculation mode. D Air distribution. E Selecting the air conditioning.
Information and advice on use: refer to the end of the paragraph on “Heating/ air conditioning”.
Adjusting the air temperature
Move control B.
To the right: maximum possible tem- perature.
To the left: minimum possible tempera- ture.
yAdjusting the
ventilation speed
Move control A from 0 to 4.
The further the control is positioned to the right, the greater the amount of air blown into the passenger compart- ment.
If you want to shut off the flow of air completely and stop the system, set
control A to 0.
Leaving this control in position 0 for prolonged periods can lead to con- densation forming on the side win- dows and windscreen and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.

Isolation of the passenger
compartment/air recirculation(depending on vehicle)
Push control
C to the left.
Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is used to:
– isolate the passenger compartment
from the external atmosphere (eg.: driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– bring the passenger compartment to
the desired temperature more effec- tively.
To return to the external air position,
push control C to the right.
Prolonged use of this position can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and wind- screen and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.
It is therefore advisable to return to normal operation (external air) by
moving control C to the right once you are out of the polluted area.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Move control D to position the pointer opposite the marked positions.
JAll the air flow is directed to the dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed to- wards the dashboard vents and the footwells.
FThe air flow is directed to- wards the footwells and the dashboard vents.
Close the dashboard vents to direct all the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be- tween all the air vents, the front side window demisting air vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.
WFor more efficient demist- ing, close the vents in the dashboard and ensure that you are set to external air (control C to the right).
All the air is then directed to the wind- screen and front side window demist- ing vents.
For maximum efficiency, set control
A to 4.
Using the heating and air conditioning system increases the speed of demist- ing.
