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.
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 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.
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
b

linds...).
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.
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.

F

M
ove control B in all four directions to

should be adjusted to reduce the blind
spots.
Folding
F From outside: lock the vehicle using the remote control or the key.
F

F
rom inside: with the ignition on, pull the
control A in the central position rear wards.
If the mirrors are folded using control

A,
t

hey will not unfold when the vehicle is
unlocked. Pull again on control A .
If your vehicle is fitted with heated
mirrors, the demisting-defrosting
operates by switching on the heated
rear screen.
The rear screen demist - defrost can only
operate when the engine is running. The objects observed are, in reality,
closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to
correctly judge the distance of vehicles
approaching from behind.
Adjustment

defrosting the rear screen

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.F

P
ress the button to recirculate
the interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.
This function allows hot or cold air to be
delivered selectively and more quickly.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
-

l
ower the temperature, in summer,
-

i
ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3 °C.
Switching on
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment control 2
is in position " 0".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you
can use recirculation of interior air for
a few moments. Then return to fresh
air intake.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air quality
and the formation of mist.
F

P

ress the button again to
permit the intake of exterior air.
The indicator lamp goes off to
confirm this.
Switching off
F Press the "A /C " button, the
button's indicator lamp comes on.

maximum value 28.
F

T
urn control 2 or 3 to the left until
"LO" is displayed or to the right
until "HI" is displayed.
For more information on the
automatic visibility programme,
refer to the "Front demisting -
defrosting"
section.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
F Turn control 2 or 3 to the left
or to the right respectively
to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.

from that offered by the system by changing
a setting. The the "AUTO" indicator lamps go
off; the other functions will still be controlled
automatically.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.
The driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).
6. Air distribution adjustment

-

t
he windscreen and side
windows (demisting or
def r o st ing),

right to increase the air flow.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
F Press this button for recirculation
of the interior air. The indicator
lamp in the button comes on.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on progressively in relation to the
value requested.
9. "REST" function: ventilation with the engine off
Even with the engine is off, you can
operate the ventilation for a few
minutes.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment
to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke.
For example, while you are away from the
vehicle, the passengers can still enjoy some air
circulation without having the engine running.
This function is available after switching on the
ignition, as well as after stopping the engine.
The period that the function is available
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
You can activate the "REST" function while the
air conditioning control screens are on.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air
recirculation mode (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).

of the air conditioning. The
indicator lamp on the "A /C "
button comes on.
