ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to \
optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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.

Front foglamps (green)
and rear foglamps (amber,
2nd rotation of the ring
forwards).
To switch off the front and rear
foglamps, turn the ring rearwards twice
in succession.
In clear weather or in rain, both day
and night, rear foglamps dazzle and
their use is prohibited.
Do not forget to switch them off when they
are no longer needed.
Automatic illumination of the headlamps
switches off the rear foglamps, but the front
foglamps remain on.
Daytime running lamps
Depending on the country in which the vehicle
is sold, the vehicle may be equipped with
daytime running lamps. The dipped headlamps
come on when the vehicle is started.
The instruments and controls
(instrument panel, screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are only
illuminated on switching to the automatic
illumination of headlamps mode or when the
lamps are switched on manually.
Front and rear foglamps
Rotate ring B forwards to switch on and
rearwards to switch off. The status is
confirmed by the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
These operate with the sidelamps and the
dipped beam headlamps.
Front foglamps (green,
1st rotation of the ring forwards).
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.

control towards:
the side vents and the central
vents,
the side vents, the central vents
and the footwells,
the footwells,

Air conditioning A/C
If fitted on your vehicle, the air conditioning
can only operate with the engine running.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the LED is on. Pressing the
button again switches the function
off and the LED goes off.
Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the red zone, produces heating of the interior air.
- in the blue zone, produces
cool air,
The air distribution can be
modulated by placing the control
in the intermediate positions,
marked "●".
The fan speed varies from 1 to
the fastest 4. Position 0 switches
it off.
Remember to adjust this control
in order to attain the desired
comfort level.

Intake of exterior air
Recommended settings
For optimum operation of the manual system, the settings below are recom\
mended:
The LED in the button is off. This
is the preferred operating position.
Recirculation of interior air
The LED in the button is on.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and setting of the force of blown air (from
1 to 4), recirculation enables you to obtain
the required ambient air comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operating mode is preferable.

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.

Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO symbol is displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected, the system controls the distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off and are reinstated
the next time the vehicle is started, if the
temperature in the passenger compartment
has not changed signifi cantly; otherwise,
operation resumes in automatic mode.
Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.
