Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
t hat allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
an d 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,
u se 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
b
ackground 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
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
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.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached. As a
passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual identifiers informing the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off (on/
off indicator lamps) or has developed a
fault
(warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
s econds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
The passenger airbag system operation
indicator lamp remains lit for one minute after
the ignition is on, even after the engine is
started.
Associated warnings
The lighting of certain indicator lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message on the multifunction screen. The warning lamp may come on
continuously (fixed) or flash.
Some warning lamps may have both types
of lighting. Only by relating the type of
illumination to the operating status of the
vehicle can it be ascertained whether the
situation is normal or whether a
fault has
occurred.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a


warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated
message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the
dealer network or a
qualified workshop.

mode for vehicles with daytime running lamps,
pressing the button does not have any effect.
Black panel (comfortable
night driving display)
When driving at night, this function allows
certain instrument panel displays to be
switched off so as to reduce visual fatigue for
the driver.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- o nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of unapproved mats may inter fere
with access to the pedals and hinder the
operation of the cruise control/speed
limiter.
The approved mats have two fixings
located below the seat.
Boot fittings
Rear shelf
To remove the shelf:
F u nhook the two cords,
F

g
ently lift the shelf, then unclip it on each
side.
Rear shelf
The rear shelf is fixed .
Before opening the roof completely,
ensure there is nothing left on the shelf. When the roof is completely open, the
screen is placed on the rear shelf. Do not
place any object on the screen.
Storage box
F To access the storage box, lift the boot
carpet by pulling up the strap.
This has areas for the storage of a
temporary
tyre repair kit, a box of spare bulbs, a first aid
kit, two warning triangles, etc.

Exceeding programmed
speed
F Press firmly on the accelerator pedal,
going beyond the point of resistance, to
exceed the programmed speed limit.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which is still
displayed, flashes.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of
intentional or unintentional deceleration of the
vehicle, automatically cancels the flashing of
the speed.
Exiting speed limiter mode
F Turn thumb wheel 1 to the 0 position: the
speed limiter mode is deselected. The
display returns to the total mileage recorder.
Malfunction
In the event of a speed limiter fault, the speed
i s cleared resulting in flashing of the dashes. On sharp acceleration, as when
descending a
steep hill, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that mats are secured correctly,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by
a

qualified workshop.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the speed of the vehicle
at the value programmed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is switched off
manually or
by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the trajectory control systems for
safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by depressing the accelerator
pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
Cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to respect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Steering mounted controls
The cruise control is switched on manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40


km/h).
