8Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's
energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and
CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator prompts you to engage
the most suitable gear. Whenever this indication
is displayed on the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
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 gradually. These practices
help to save on energy consumption, reduce CO
2
emissions and decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by
selecting it using the "DRIVE MODE" control.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of 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. At speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down
(e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds).
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
functions, if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or foglamps
to the level of visibility, in accordance with
current legislation in the country in which you are
driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (e.g. film, music, video game) to help
reduce the consumption of energy.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle. Place the
heaviest items in the boot as close as possible to
the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise
wind resistance (e.g. roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer). Preferably, use a roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit
summer tyres.
Comply with the servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on
the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
–

before a long journe
y.
–

a
t each change of season.
–

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, your vehicle will emit pollution. Visit a
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible
to restore your vehicle's nitrogen oxide emissions
to legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your new
vehicle settle down to a consistent average after
the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).
Optimising the driving range (rechargeable
hybrid vehicles)
Connect the vehicle as soon as possible.
Favour the ECO zone of the power indicator by
driving smoothly and at a steady speed.

fixed or variable location depending on the page
or the driving aid activated.
For the functions that have indicator lamps for
both operation and deactivation, there is only one
dedicated location.
Display language and units
These depend on the touch screen
settings.
When travelling abroad, the speed must be
shown in the official units of the country you
are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).

Mats
Fitting

When fitting it on the driver's side, only use
the mountings present on the carpet (a "click"
indicates proper locking).
The other mats are simply laid over the carpet.
Removing/refitting
►  To remove it on the driver's side, move the seat
backwards and unclip the fasteners.
►  To refit it, position the mat and secure it by
pressing down.
►  Check that the mat is secured correctly.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–
O nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle; these
fixings must be used.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by the
Manufacturer may interfere with access to the
pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise
control/speed limiter.
The approved mats have two fasteners located
underneath the seat.
Touch-sensitive courtesy
lamps
1. Front touch-sensitive courtesy lamp
2. Front touch-sensitive reading lamps
3.Rear touch-sensitive reading lamps
Touch-sensitive courtesy lamp
It comes on:
–
when the v ehicle is unlocked.
–

when the ignition is s
witched off.
–

when a door is opened.
–


when the remo
te control locking button is
activated, in order to locate the vehicle.
It switches off:
–

when the v
ehicle is locked.
–

when the ignition is s
witched on.
–

30 sec
onds after the last door is closed.
The front and rear touch-sensitive reading lamps
come on and go off at the same time as the
courtesy lamp.
A long press on the front touch-sensitive
courtesy lamp completely deactivates it
(confirmed by the "OFF" symbol).
The front and rear touch-sensitive reading
lamps still remain operational.
Touch-sensitive reading lamps
►  With the ignition on, press the corresponding
reading lamp.
Interior ambient lighting
The interior ambient lighting casts soft, coloured
lighting in the passenger compartment, when low
lighting conditions are detected.

113
Driving06
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors, as well as
any associated functions, may be disrupted by
noise pollution such as that emitted by noisy
vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, pneumatic
drills), by the accumulation of snow or dead
leaves on the road or in the event of damaged
bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not
always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away from
the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims not
approved by the Manufacturer may interfere
with the operation of the speed limiter or
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–

Ensure tha
t the mat is secured correctly.
–

Ne
ver fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Shortcuts for driving aids
The full list of available driving aids can be found
in the Functions tab. Driving aids can be accessed directly to quickly
activate/deactivate them.
By default, driving aids are already stored in the
Shortcuts tab (e.g. Stop & Start, Lane keeping
assist).
Other driving aids can be added or deleted from
this tab.
It is configured in the ADAS>Functions
touch screen application.

Storing the speed setting

►  Switch on the speed limiter/cruise control.
The speed limiter/cruise control information is
displayed.
Upon detecting a sign suggesting a new speed
setting, the system displays the value and "MEM"
flashes for a few seconds, prompting you to save
it as a new speed setting.
If there is a difference of less than 6 mph
(9 km/h) between the speed setting and
the speed displayed by the Road signs
recognition, the "MEM" symbol is not
displayed.
Depending on the road conditions, several speeds
may be displayed.
►  Press button 2 once to save the suggested
speed value.
A message is displayed, confirming the request.
►  Press button 2 again to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
The display then reverts to its previous state.
Extended Traffic Sign
Recognition
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations on the use of driving
and manoeuvring aids.


This additional system recognises these road
signs and displays them on the instrument panel.

118
Driving06
To modify the speed limit setting based on the
speed suggested by the Road signs recognition
function displayed on the instrument panel:
► Press 5-MEM once; a message is displayed,
confirming the memorisation request.
►  Press 5-MEM again to save the suggested
speed.
The new speed setting value is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
►  Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
The speed limiter is temporarily deactivated and
the displayed speed setting flashes.
►  Release the accelerator pedal to return to
below the speed setting.
When exceeding the speed is not due to the
driver's action (e.g. in case of a steep slope), an
audible signal is triggered immediately.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the speed setting.
If necessary, apply the brakes to control your
vehicle’s speed.
When the vehicle speed returns to the speed
setting level, the speed limiter operates again: the
speed setting display becomes fixed again.
Switching off
►  Turn the thumbwheel 1 to the "OFF" position:
speed limiter information is no longer displayed.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, dashes are
displayed flashing and then fixed instead of the
speed setting.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Cruise control - Specific
recommendations
The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum
authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise
control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles
to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.
Remain vigilant while cruise control is
activated. If you press and hold one of the
speed setting modification buttons, your
vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When descending a steep hill, the cruise
control system cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the set speed. Brake if necessary to
control the vehicle speed.
On steep climbs or when towing, the set speed
may not be reached or maintained.
Exceeding the programmed speed setting
You can temporarily exceed the speed
setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the
programmed speed flashes).
To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops
flashing).
