Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to
the
rear seats.
Limit
the loads carried in the
vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier
, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove
roof bars and roof racks
after
use.
At
the end of winter, remove snow
tyres
and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry
out this check in particular:
-
before
a long journey,
-
at each change of season,
-
after
a long period out of use.

schedule
of operations recommended
in
the manufacturer's service schedule.

Instruments and controls
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION WITH REINITIALISATION
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
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 every 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).
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
increases
fuel consumption.The
inflation pressures defined for your vehicle can be found on the
tyre
pressure label.
For
more information on the
identification
markings, refer to the
corresponding
section.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
less
than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Otherwise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the
pressures shown on the label.

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.
