Limit the causes of excess
consumption
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Eco-driving

57
If the vehicle is to be parked outside for
a long period, it is advisable to protect the
roof using a


tarpaulin.
It is advisable to close the roof when you
park the vehicle.
Even if the roof is closed, it is safer not to
leave any valuables inside the vehicle.
Remove the ignition key when you leave
the vehicle to prevent any involuntary roof
movement.
If your vehicle has a
voice command
system, it may be affected if you drive with
the roof open.
Protection of electric motors that control
roof opening and closure: during repeated
opening and closing movements of the
roof, it is possible that heating up of the
electric motors no longer allows the roof to
be opened or closed. Allow the motors to
cool by not trying to move the roof for ten
minutes.Boot

n otches which prevents it from lowering;
this is a
safety device in case of impact.
The adjustment is correct when the

current reduces fuel consumption.Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
