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.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather
than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. th ese
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.
th

e 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.

With the engine running or when the vehicle is moving,

Once closed again, the boot will remain locked
if the problem persists.
Adjusting the opening
height
the maximum opening height of the tailgate
can be set and memorised (restricted overhead
clearance, ...).
th
is memorisation is done in two steps, by
successive presses on button C :
-

d
uring opening, a first press stops the
tailgate at the desired height,
-

a s
econd maintained press memorises the
position of the tailgate; an audible signal
confirms the memorisation.


t
o d
elete this memorisation, make a new
maintained press until the audible signal is
heard.
th

e tailgate is not designed to support
a bicycle carrier.
If fitting a bicycle carrier to a towbar,
the automatic operation must be
deactivated. Precautions in use
If snow has accumulated on the
tailgate, remove the snow before any
automatic operation of the tailgate.
Ice can prevent opening of the tailgate:
wait until the ice has melted following
heating of the passenger compartment.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic car wash, don't forget to
lock your vehicle to prevent any risk of
unwanted opening.
Repeated opening and closing of the
tailgate can overheat the electric motor;
neither closing nor opening is then
possible.
Allow the motor to cool down for
ten
minutes before operating the
tailgate again.
