Before moving off, if the passenger compar tment 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 compar tment down (sunroof and windowblinds...). 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 lightdoes not require their use.


Avoid running the engine before moving off, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
















































Eco-driving

Eco-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.


The gear efficiency indicator invites you to change up: as soon as the indication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic 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 andCO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.


Control the use of your electrical
equipment


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting theconsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.

Vent ilat ion
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compar tment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routesdepending on the controls selected by thedriver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
di
ffuse the air in the passenger compar tment combining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel Aon the centre console. Depending on the model, the functionsoffered are:


- the level of comfort required,

- air flow,

- air distribution,

- demistin
g-defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.



Air distribution
1.
Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents. 2.Front side window demisting-defrostingvents.3.Side adjustable air vents. 4.
Central adjustable air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6.Air outlets to the rear footwells.

1. Temperature adjustment
) Turn the dial from blue(cold) to red (hot) to adjust
the temperature to your
requirements.
2. Air fl ow adjustment
)
Turn the dial from position 1toposition 5to obtain a comfortable air flow.
)If you place the air flow controlin position 0(deactivation of thesystem), the temperature is nolonger maintained at a comfortable level. However, a slight flow of air,due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.



3. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows.
Windscreen, side windows andfootwells.

ootwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be adapted by placing the dialin an intermediate position.


4. Air intake / Air recirculation

The intake of exterior air avoids the formation of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates thepassenger compar tment from exterior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.
Manual control panel
) Move the manual control tothe left to be in the "recyclinginterior air" position.
)
Move the manual control to the
right to return to the "fresh air intake" position.

5. Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is designed tooperate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
Electric control panel
) Press the button to recirculate
the interior air. The indicator lamp comes on to confirm this.
)Press the button again to allow fresh air
into the passenger compar tment. The
indicator lamp goes off to confirm this.


It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3 °C.



Switching on
)
Press the "A/C"button, the button'sindicator lamp comes on.


Switching off
)
Press the "A/C"button again, the button's
indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfor t levels
(humidity, condensation).
The air conditioning does notoperate when the air flow adjustmentcontrol 2is in position " 0". To obtain cooled air more quickly, youcan use recirculation of interior air for a few moments. Then return to freshair intake.

Automatic operation


1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"button.The "AUTO"
symbol is displayed. We recommend that you use
this mode. It provides optimisedautomatic control of all of the following functions: passenger compar tment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
intake, in accordance with the comfort value
that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
For your comfor t, when the engine isswitched off, the settings are retained until the engine is switched on again. To prevent too great a distribution of cold air when the engine is cold, the air flow will only reach its optimum level gradually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
de
grees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior is very cold or hot, there is no need tochange the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort. The system corrects the temperature difference automatically and as quickly as possible.
Pr
ess the ""
and ""
buttons tochange this value. A setting around
the value 21enables optimum comfor t to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, asetting between 18 and 24 is usual.

3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfor t programmemay not be sufficient for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows(humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button 3indicator lamp comes on.
The system automatically controls the air conditioning and the flow of air and provides optimum air distribution to the windscreen andside windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5.
To exit this programme, press button 3again or "AUTO"
, the indicator lamp on the button goes off and "AUTO"
is displayed.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is notavailable.
