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...). u
s
e 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. When refuelling, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record. 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.

Child seats
the incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using a
seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on the child seat and that it is holding the
child seat firmly against the seat of your
vehicle. If your front passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest.
