Eco-driving is a range of everyday
practices  that   allow   the   motorist   to  
optimise

  their   fuel   consumption   and  
C

o
2 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
to
  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
 
help
 
to
 
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
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.

ventilate
 
it
 
by opening the windows and air vents
before

temperature
 
in

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.
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.
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. In
  the   6-speed   configuration,   raise   the  collar
  below   the   gear   knob.

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.

The gearbox then operates in
automatic
 
mode,
 
without
 
any
 
action
 
on
 
your

 
part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best
 
suited
 
to

conditions:
-

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   -  
ST

ART
 
mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to  
move

  off.
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 modeThe "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 vehicle has not exceeded

Deactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need to   maintain   a   comfortable   temperature   in the

  passenger   compartment,   it   may   be
 preferable

  to   deactivate   Stop   &   Start.
At any time, press the "ECO
OFF" switch to deactivate the
