Electronic key: Keyless
Entry and Starting
This system allows the locking, unlocking and
starting the vehicle by keeping the key on your
person and in the recognition zone.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into
standby during stops in the traffic (red lights,
traffic jams, etc....). The engine restarts
automatically as soon as you want to move
off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise
level when stationary.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the tyre
pressures when driving and alerts you in the
event of an under-inflated tyre.

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 ETG electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic (Easy)
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 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 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
(film, 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.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an ETG electronic gearbox, this indicator
appears only in manual mode.
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 traffic noise.

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...). 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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid 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.

The " Erase " button resets the fuel consumption
data in the touch screen tablet and the
instrument panel. If your vehicle has a touch screen tablet, you
can view information on the current journey.
Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the
average fuel consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
When the fuel level is low, the message "Lo
FUEL" is displayed.
If only a small amount of fuel is added, the
range may not be recalculated.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

the control switch again. Switch the seat heating off as soon
as it is no longer needed, as reducing
the vehicle's electrical current demand
reduces fuel consumption.
