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.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A",
according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to select the most suitable gear:
once the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow the
advice straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator
only appears 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 (window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning 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 foglamp 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.

Lighting controlSystem for selection and control of the various front and rear lights providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
progressively in relation to the climatic and light
conditions:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-
d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,
-
m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of particular conditions of
visibility:
-
a
rear foglamp,
-
f
ront foglamps.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Switching off the lamps
when the ignition is
switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting
is activated.
