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.

Headlamp beam

You are advised to adjust the height of the
headlamp beams in accordance with the load in
your vehicle.
This function can only be accessed in the main
beam headlamps and dipped headlamps position.
Press these controls, located
on the dashboard, several times
in succession to adjust the
headlamps.

Foglamps

The controls are located in the dashboard
switch panel.


Front and rear foglamps

The foglamps should only be used in
fog or when snow is falling.
In clear weather or in rain, both day and
night, lit rear fog lamps dazzle and are
prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer necessary.


Guide-me-home lighting

The temporary maintaining of the dipped
beam headlamps, after switching off the
vehicle's ignition, makes the driver's exit
easier when the light is poor by illuminating
the space in front of the vehicle.

Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position
or removed, pull the lighting stalk towards
the steering wheel within 2 minutes after
switching off the engine.
Each time the control is operated, the
duration for which the lamps will remain
on is extended by 30 seconds, up to a
maximum of 210 seconds. Once this period
of time has elapsed, the lamps switch off
automatically.

Deactivation
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel for more than 2 seconds. The front foglamps operate with
the sidelamps and the dipped
beam headlamps.
The rear foglamps operate with
the dipped beam headlamps.
Press one of these controls to switch on the
lamps. The warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message in the
screen, the first time the control is
operated and remains on until the
function is deactivated automatically. An indicator lamp in the screen
indicates the adjustment position
selected (0, 1, 2, 3).

Good practice
To change gear smoothly, always press the
clutch pedal fully down.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedal:



- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may cause
wear of the internal components of the
gearbox over time.



MANUAL GEARBOX

Reverse gear

Never engage reverse gear until the vehicle
is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged,
confirmed by an audible signal.
Refer to the "Rear parking sensors"
section of chapter 3.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT


When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment by pushing the
lever down.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock by pulling the lever up fully.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change gear on
vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
The gear change recommendations must
not be considered compulsory, as the
configuration of the road, the volume of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore,
the driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the advice given by
the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of the
word SHIFT
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an up arrow for changing
up or a down arrow for changing down

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (firm pressure
on the accelerator pedal, for example,
when overtaking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.

ELECTRONIC GEARBOX

The five-speed electronic gearbox offers a
choice between the comfort of automated
operation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.
This gearbox provides two driving modes:


- an automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the part of the driver,

- a sequential mode for manual changing
of the gears by the driver using the gear
lever.
It consists of:


1.
a gear lever 1
on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear in
sequential mode,

2.
a button 2
to activate or deactivate the
economy programme.


Gear lever gate

All movements of the gear lever are given
from the middle position.

N
: neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start, by moving the gear lever to
the right and then forwards .

R
: reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your foot
on the brake pedal and move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards.

M
+/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing.
Make a long push to the left on the lever to
select this mode, then:


- push towards +
to change up,

- push towards -
to change down.

Moving off



You must press the brake pedal.
Start the engine; the gearbox changes into
neutral automatically.
The gear lever stays in the position selected
before switching off the ignition.

"N"
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal when you
release the brake pedal, to indicate that there
is a difference between the position of the gear
lever and the gear selected in the gearbox.
Select first gear (move the lever towards +
)
or reverse (position R
).

"1"
or "R"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
Release the parking brake.
Remove your foot from the brake pedal and
then accelerate away.
The AUTO or sequential mode used
before switching off the ignition remains
in memory when the vehicle is restarted.

Stopping - Starting on a slope

This gearbox is electronically controlled and
does not have a clutch pedal.

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
hold
the vehicle on a slope, apply the parking
brake instead; failure to follow this
procedure can overheat the clutch and
damage the gearbox
.
When moving off on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking brake.
It is also possible to move off in 2
nd
gear on slippery surfaces (2 nd press
on +).

Automated mode

Once you have moved off, you can switch to
automated mode by selecting position A/M
.

"AUTO"
and the gear engaged
appear in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-active
mode, without any action on the part of the
driver.
It continuously selects the most appropriate
gear depending on the:


- vehicle speed,

- engine speed,

- accelerator pedal position.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations in
the pressure on the accelerator pedal.
If you fully depress the accelerator pedal,
the gearbox changes down for sharper
acceleration. By rapidly pushing the accelerator fully
down, the vehicle moves off quickly.
