Exterior
customising kits
These expressive stickers form part   of   a   range   of   kits,   very  
d

ifferent   one   from   another,   which  
a

llow you to create a unique
and
  attractive   exterior   for   your  
v

ehicle.
Guide-me-home lighting
After switching off the ignition, under low lighting conditions the headlamps remain   on   for   a   few   seconds   to   help   you   leave   the   vehicle.
Active city Brake
The purpose of this system is to avoid a frontal collision   or   reduce   the   speed   of   impact   if   the  
d

river   fails   to   take   action   or   does   not   take  
s

ufficient   action.

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine t
emporarily   on   standby   during  
s

tops   in   the   traffic   (red   lights,   traffic  
j

ams,   etc...).   The   engine   restarts  
a

utomatically   as   soon   as   you   want  
t

o   move   off.   The   Stop   &   Start   system  
r

educes   fuel   consumption,   exhaust  
e

missions   and   the   noise   level   when  
s

tationary. 118

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
 ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the
 t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window
 b

linds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning,   unless   it   has   automatic   regulation,   as
 s

oon   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  
d

oes   not   require   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 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  
m

ode   and   avoid   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal   heavily   or   suddenly.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:   as  
s

oon   as   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   it  
s

traight   away.
For
  vehicles   fitted   with   an   electronic   or   automatic   gearbox,   this  
i

ndicator   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  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
control the use of your electrical
equipment
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds a bove   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  c
onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect   your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
