Rear parking sensors / Reversing
camera
When reversing, these systems detect and
provide a warning for any obstacles located
behind the vehicle.
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.
Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and sealant cartridge, to allow the
temporary repair of a tyre.
Zenith windscreen
This large windscreen provides incomparable
visibility and light in the passenger
compartment.

Gear shift indicator
depending on the driving conditions and your
driving style, this system may suggests when to
change up to reduce your fuel consumption.
Scented air freshener
The scented air freshener diffuses the
selected fragrance throughout the passenger
compartment from its location in the ventilation
system.
Digital air conditioning
after setting the desired level of comfort, the
system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.

Eco-drivingEco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
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.
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.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well. 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 electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
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 p

assenger, 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.
dis

connect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
