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 ETG electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic (Easy)
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.
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.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The gear efficiency 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 ETG electronic 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.

With the touch screen tablet
From the Menu page in the touch screen tablet:
F Sel ect the " Vehicle information " tab.
The " Trip information " window is displayed
with the following information:
-

"A

verage speed ",
-

" E

-

" R

-

t
he current fuel consumption, presented in
graphical form.
The " Erase " button resets the fuel consumption
data in the touch screen tablet and the
instrument panel. If your vehicle has a touch screen tablet, you
can view information on the current journey.
Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank (related to the
average fuel consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
When the fuel level is low, the message "Lo
FUEL" is displayed.
If only a small amount of fuel is added, the
range may not be recalculated.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)
I f your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip computer reset.

To obtain optimum acceleration, when
overtaking another vehicle for example, press
firmly on the accelerator pedal going beyond
the point of resistance.

It is possible to change mode at any time, by
moving the gear selector from position E to
position M and the other way round.

Creep function
This function makes manoeuvring the vehicle
at low speed easier (parking, traffic jams…).
After first placing the gear selector in position
E
, M or R , the vehicle moves off as soon as
you take your foot off the brake pedal , at low
speed, with the engine at idle.
The creep function may be temporarily
unavailable if the clutch temperature is
too high or the gradient too steep. An
audible signal gives a warning if the
clutch temperature is too high. Never select neutral N when the vehicle
is moving.

Temporarily taking control of
gear changes
You can temporarily take control of gear
changes using the "+" and "-"
steering
mounted control paddles.
Gear change commands are only acted on if
the engine speed allows. There is an audible
signal if a command is not accepted.
The gear engaged is displayed in the
instrument panel.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations such as overtaking a vehicle or
approaching a corner.
After a few moments with no action on the
controls, the gearbox returns to automatic
control of the gears. It is possible to change mode at any time, by
moving the gear selector from position E to
position M and the other way round.

When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
automatically changes down so that pick-up is
in the right gear.
Manual mode
Under sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up without action by the driver on
the gear selector or steering mounted control
paddles (unless the engine speed is close to
maximum).

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
