OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR GEARBOX


With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting
and 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. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing 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 temperature
in the passenger compartment 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, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, 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.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

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 refi t 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 serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down
to a consistent average.

07MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS
CD, MP3 / WMA CD, MP3 /
WMA SD CARD / USB PLAYER

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when
recording it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format it ma
y not be played correctly.

It is recommended that the same recording standard is always
used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case o
f a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.The audio equipment will onl
y play audio fi les with the extension".mp3" with a speed of between 8 Kbps and 320 Kbps and the extension ".wma" with a speed of between 5 Kbps and 384 Kbps.
It also supports the VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other t
ype of fi le (.mp4, .m3uÖ) can be played. The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1, 2 & 2.5 Audio La
yer 3
and the WMA format, an abbreviation of Windows Media Audio and
the propert
y of Microsoft, are audio compression standards whichpermit the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.

Connecting an iPod:
To pla
y MP3 type fi les, connect the iPod using the USB port (limited
functions).
To pla
y ITunes fi les, connect the iPod using the auxiliary socket (AUX).

In order to be read, a U
SB memory stick must be formatted to FAT 32. It is advisable to restrict
fi le names to 20 characters, without usingof special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ˘) to avoid any playing and
displaying problems.
Durin
g play, exit the "SD-Card" or "USB" source before removingthe SD card or the USB memory stick from its port.
To avoid an
y risk of theft, remove the SD card or the USB memorystick when you leave your vehicle with the roof open. INFORMATION AND ADVICE
