DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.

LONGITUDINAL ROOF BARS
For information on the range of
equipment adapted to your ve-
hicle, we advise you to consult
an approved Dealer. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
formation on how to fit and operate
the equipment.
Please keep these instructions with
the rest of the vehicle documenta-
tion.
Maximum permissible load on
roof rack: refer to the information
on “Weights” in Section 6.
1
If fitted on the vehicle, you can trans-
port luggage or additional equipment
(bike racks, ski racks, etc):
– on a roof rack;
– on transverse roof bars which must in turn be attached to roof bars fitted
lengthways 1;
– directly onto the longitudinal roof bars.
It is forbidden to fit longitudinal roof
bars on vehicles which are not origi-
nally equipped with them.
2
If fitted to the vehicle, you can use the
mounting holes 2 of the longitudinal
bars to:
– use luggage restraint systems (straps, cords, etc.);
– attach additional items without using the transverse roof bars.
