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.

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
This system allows fuel consumption to be
reduced by suggesting when to change up.
Operation
Depending on the driving conditions and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
You can follow this indication without going
through the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations
should not be considered to be compulsory.
This because the configuration of the
road, the traffic density 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. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
arrow.
The system never recommends
engaging first gear or reverse, or
changing down.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendations according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands
from the driver (for power, acceleration,
braking, ...).

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.

Deactivation of manual height correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery power.
Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic height correction on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual height correction
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual height
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ... Warning lamp
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2. If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to
switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until height correction returns to automatic
mode. Return to manual correction is confirmed by
the LED which goes off.
Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

Mirrors and windows
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
1. Driver's electric window control
2. Passenger electric window control
The electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated:
- approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off,
- after one of the front doors is opened, if the ignition is off.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery,
the safety anti-pinch function must be
reinitialised.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time
the control is pressed. Repeat the operation
until the window is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at least one
second after the window closed position has
been reached.
The safety anti-pinch does not operate
during these operations.
Manual mode
Press or pull the control, without passing the
point of resistance. The window stops when
you release the control.
Automatic mode
Press or pull the control, beyond the point
of resistance. The window opens or closes
fully when the control is released. Pressing
the control again stops the movement of
the window.
Safety anti-pinch
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety anti-
pinch function, when the window rises and
meets an obstacle, it stops and partially
lowers.
In the event of unwanted opening of the
window on closing, press the control until
the window is fully open. Within the next
4 seconds, pull the control until the window
is fully closed.
The safety auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations.
Good practice
If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.
There are two operating modes:

Driving safely
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
This DSC mode is calibrated for
a low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the system
returns automatically to DSC mode.
This DSC OFF mode is only
suitable for specific conditions
encountered when moving off or
at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h) the system returns
to DSC mode automatically. This snow mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the two
front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best acceleration
possible for the grip available.
This off-road mode (mud, wet
grass...) allows, when moving off,
considerable wheelspin on the
wheel with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip". At the
same time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's requirements
as fully as possible. This sand mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move forward and
reduces the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck.
