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.
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 shift 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 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 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.

We recommend use of the automatic regulation
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control
of all of the following functions: air flow,
temperature in the passenger compartment
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to change
your settings other than the temperature value
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine
sensor A.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort will be
maintained and humidity and condensation will
be removed regardless of the exterior climatic
conditions.
The temperature in the passenger compartment
can only be lower than the ambient temperature
if the air conditioning is on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle
has been parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes, then close the
windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
To keep the air conditioning system in
good working order it is essential that it is
operated at least once a month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), switching off
the air conditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet,
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air
inlet. Maximum comfort is obtained by means of
a good distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, both in the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of air, take
care not to block the exterior air intake grille
located at the base of the windscreen, the
vents, the air outlets under the front seats and
the air extractor located behind the flaps in
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and
direction. We recommend that you leave all of
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide).

To the left to reduce the temperature.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated in the screen corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the screen configuration.
A setting around the value 21 usually provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
The air conditioning system operates with the engine running.
Mono-zone: this is the overall regulation of the temperature, distribution and flow of air in the passenger
compartment.
The symbols and messages associated with the digital air conditioning controls appear in the display screen.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the temperature
displayed to obtain rapidly the level of
comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
per formance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
