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.

Locking the vehicle
Normal locking
►  Press the locking button.
The locking, and the activation of the alarm
depending on version, is confirmed by the lighting
of the direction indicators.
Depending on version, the door mirrors fold.

vehicle. However, if the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be activated after 45 seconds.
If the vehicle is unlocked but the doors or boot
are not subsequently opened, the vehicle will
automatically lock itself again after about
30 seconds. If the vehicle is fitted with an
alarm, it will be reactivated automatically.

Deadlocking renders the interior door
controls inoperative. It also disables the
central locking button.
The horn remains operational.
Never leave anyone inside the vehicle when it
is deadlocked.
►  Press the locking button again within 5
seconds to deadlock the vehicle (confirmed by the
temporary lighting of the direction indicators).
Closing the windows and sunroof
An audible signal sounds before the start of
movement.
Maintaining pressure on the locking
button for more than 3 seconds allows the
windows and, depending on version, the sunroof
to be closed to the desired position.
This operation also closes the sunroof blind.
Ensure that no person or object could
prevent the correct closing of the
windows and sunroof.
If, on versions with alarm, you want to leave
the windows and/or sunroof partially open, you
must first deactivate the interior volumetric
alarm protection.
For more information on the Alarm, refer to the
corresponding section.

It is important to ensure that passengers use
the electric windows correctly.
Pay particular attention to children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing windows remotely using
the electronic key.
Do not put your head or arms through the open
windows when the vehicle is moving - risk of
serious injury!
Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
► To operate the panoramic sunroof or the blind,
use the buttons in the roof console.


A. Sunroof control
B. Sunroof blind control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds after turning
off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars do not interfere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable glass
panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a rain
shower or washing the vehicle, wait until
it is completely dry before operating it.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Regularly check the condition of the
sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust, dead
leaves).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure jet
at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is
possible.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the
partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.
