Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.
Eco-driving
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   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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
d

isconnect your portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.

MANUAL GEARBO x
5-speed
6-speed
To change gear easily, always depress
the
 
clutch
 
pedal   fully.
To
 
prevent
 
the
 
mat   from   becoming  
caught

 
under
 
the   pedal:
-
 
ensure

 
that
  the   mat   is   positioned  
and

 
secured   correctly   on   the   floor,
-
 
never

 
fit
 
one   mat   on   top   of   another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on
 
the
 
gear
 
knob   as   the   force   exerted,  
even

 
if
 
slight,
 
may   wear   the   internal  
components

 
of
  the   gearbox   over   time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the gear  lever   fully   to   the   right.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release
  the   steering   wheel   adjustment  
mechanism

  by   pulling   the   lever.
Adjust
  the   steering   wheel   for   height  
and

  reach,   then   lock   the   mechanism   by  
pushing

  the   lever   fully   forward.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly to  reduce   noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle
  has   come   to   a   complete   stop.
In
 
the   6-speed   configuration,   raise   the  
collar

  below   the   gear   knob.

The information appears in the  instrument   panel   in   the  
form

  of   an   arrow.
The
  system   adapts   its   gear  
change

  recommendation  
according to the driving conditions
(slope,

 
load, ...)   and   the   demands  
of the driver (power

, acceleration,
braking, ...).
The
 
system   never   suggests:
-
 
engaging
  first   gear,
-
 
engaging
  reverse   gear.
With
 
an
 
electronic
 
gearbox,
 
the
 
system
 
is

 
only
 
active
 
in
 
manual
 
mode.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
System which reduces fuel consumption   by   recommending   the  
most

  appropriate   gear.
Operation
depending on the driving situation and
your   vehicle's   equipment,   the   system  
may

  advise   you   to   skip   one   (or   more)  
gear(s).

 
Y
ou   can   follow   this   instruction  
without

  engaging   the   intermediate  
gears.
The

  gear   engagement  
recommendations

  must   not   be  
considered

  compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
configuration

  of   the   road,   the   amount  
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

  function   cannot   be   deactivated.

Acceleration
For optimum acceleration (e.g. to overtake  another   vehicle),   simply  
press the pedal beyond the point of
resistance at the end of its travel, by
pressing

  down   firmly.
Vehicle stationary, with the
engine running
In the event of a prolonged stop with
the engine running, the gearbox
changes  automatically   to   neutral   N.
Stopping the vehicle
Before stopping the engine, put the
gear selector in position N.
In all cases, it is essential to apply
the
  parking   brake.   Check   that   the  
parking

  brake   warning   lamp   is   on   in   the  
instrument

  panel.
Before doing anything in the
engine
  compartment,   check   that  
the gear selector is in neutral

N.
Changing gear
In situations of high engine speeds
(heavy acceleration), a change
up will not occur unless the driver
operates the electronic gearbox control
paddle. Pull on the "+" control
paddle
  to   change   up.
Pull on the "-" control
paddle to change
down.
-

If the vehicle stops or reduces
speed

  (for   example   when  
approaching a stop sign),
the gearbox changes down
automatically

,   to   first   gear   if  
needed.
-


It is not necessary to release the
accelerator

  completely   during   gear  
changes.
-

a
gear change instruction is
accepted only if the engine speed
permits.
-


For safety reasons, depending on
the engine speed, a change down
may

  be   performed   automatically.
Manual mode
Changing to manual mode
Move the gear selector to M. Automatic mode Changing to automatic
mode
Move the gear selector to A.
The gearbox then operates in
automatic
 
mode,
 
without
 
any
 
action
 
on
 
your

 
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
 
suited
 
to
 
the
 
following
 
conditions:
-

driving style,
-

 
road

 
profile,
-
 
optimum

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
  temporarily   on   standby   -   STOP mode

  -   during   stops   in   the   traffic   (red  
lights,

  traffic   jams,   or   other...).  
The
 
engine

  restarts   automatically   -   START
 mode

  -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move  
of

f.  
The
  restart   takes   place   instantly,  
quickly

  and   silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system
  reduces   fuel   consumption   and  
exhaust

  emissions   as   well   as   the   noise  
level

  when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"   warning   lamp   comes on
  in   the   instrument   panel   and the

  engine   goes   into   standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below   12   mph   (20   km/h),   when   you  
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-


with
a 6-speed electronic
gearbox,
  at   speeds   below   5   mph  
(8

  km/h),   when   you   press   the   brake  
pedal or put the gear lever into
position

N. If
  your   vehicle   is   fitted   with   the   system,  
a

  time   counter   calculates   the   sum   of  
the

  periods   in   STOP
 
mode   during   a  
journey

.   It   rests   itself   to   zero   every   time  
the

  ignition   is   switched   on   with   the   key.
With   a   6-speed   electronic  
gearbox,

  for   your   comfort   during  
parking

  manoeuvres,   STOP
 
mode  
is not available for a few seconds after
coming

  out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
 
mode   does   not   affect   the  
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking,

  power   steering,   for   example.

-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not

-

the vehicle has not exceeded

  where   the   engine  
is needed to assure control of a

In this case, the
"ECO"
warning   lamp   flashes   for   a  
few

  seconds,   then   goes   off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
