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
b
ars, 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:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-
a
t each change of season,
-
a
fter 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 filter, air filter,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void any over flow.
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.

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
f
or wards and backwards more than once.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control of
t
heir vehicle ensuring that the space
r
emains clear during the manoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots. Changing
tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
w
inter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
t
he correct operation of the parking
a
ssistance system.
During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
t
he spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury. For
entry into a parking space (parallel
p
arking) the system does not detect
s
paces which are clearly much smaller
o
r larger than the size of the vehicle.
This
"parking assistance" system

t
hat a symbol comes on in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
w
ithout affecting the manoeuvre.The
selection of the type of manoeuvre
(
entering or exiting a parallel parking
s
pace) prevents a change to STOP
m
ode of Stop & Start.
In
STOP mode, this selection restarts
t
he
eng
ine.
The
driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly under arduous condition
(
high loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

E xtend the jack 2 until its head comes into contact with the jacking point A or B used; t

Ensure
that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop -

Ensure
that the jack is positioned only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
