Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
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
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 ambient light
level does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode and
avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency 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 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 reduce the background traffic noise. A s 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.

Range

This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed if it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km). This function is only displayed from
20
mph (30 km/h).

Mode AUTO
In cold weather with the engine cold,
the air flow is increased gradually until
the comfort setting has been reached,
in order to limit the delivery of cold air
into the passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested,
there is no need to alter the value
displayed in order to reach more quickly
the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last setting used remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
To change the current setting, press the button
several times in succession to access the
desired mode:
" Soft ": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
" Normal ": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and effective air flow.

F Go to the secondary page by
pressing this button to vary the
automatic comfort programme,
