A general grade from 0 to 100 appears
that allows you to assess your
ecological driving performance: high
values mean reduced fuel consumption.
Below is some ecological advice to
improve your performance. Store your
preferred routes lets you compare
performances. For further information,
refer to the RADIO/TOUCH – RADIO
NAV supplement.
ECOMODE
ECOMODE is a function that optimises
fuel consumption. It acts on a few of
the vehicle's uses (heating, air
conditioning, power steering, etc.) and
on a few driving operations
(acceleration, gear shift, speed
regulation, deceleration, etc.).
Activation of the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 indicator light 5 on
the instrument panel turns on to
confirm that it has been activated.
While driving, you can temporarily leave
the ECOMODE function to reset all
engine performances.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly.
The ECOMODE function is reactivated
as soon as you release the accelerator.
Deactivating the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 warning light 5 on the
instrument panel turns off to confirm
that it has been deactivated.BehaviourRather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 227
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.
Advice for use
Favour the ECOMODE function.
Electricity increases fuel
consumption. We advise you to turn off
accessories when they are not in use.
You must use your lights according to
the laws in effect in the country you are
in.
Use diffusers as much as possible.
Driving at 100 km/h with the windows
open increases fuel consumption by
4% fig. 228.
For vehicles with climate control, fuel
consumption is increased (especially in
cities) when in use. For vehicles with
manual climate control, turn off the
system when you no longer need it.

WARNING
163)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
164)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
165)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
166)The bulbs are under pressure and
could explode when being replaced. Risk
of injury.

WARNING
167)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
168)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may

169)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold,
RISK OF BURNS!
170)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light in the engine compartment
serves to remind you of this condition. Risk
of injury.171)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(refer to the “The keys” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
IMPORTANT
30)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Replacing a wheel
Undo the wheel nuts with wrench 1
fig. 263.
Position the jack 2 fig. 264 horizontally
so that its head 3 fig. 264 coincides
with the hole under the chassis nearest
to the wheel concerned.
Start raising the jack to rest the base
correctly (it should be slightly under the
vehicle and aligned with the jack head).
Undo the nuts and remove the tyre.
Position the spare tyre in the centre of
the hub.
Tighten the nuts and lower the jack.
When the tyre is on the ground, tighten
the screws hard and check their
tightness as soon as possible.IMPORTANT If you are using
tamper-proof screws, position them as
close as possible to the valve (it could
be impossible to fit the wheel plate).
WARNING
178)Activate hazard warning lights Park
the vehicle far from traffic on level, resistant
and not slippery ground. Pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear. Get all the
occupants out of the car and far from
traffic.
179)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
180)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out of
the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic.181)The spare tyre is not the same size as
the other four. Never fit more than one
spare tyre on the same vehicle. The
standard wheel is larger than the spare
wheel, so the vehicle will be lower. Replace
the spare tyre as soon as possible with a
tyre identical to the original. While in use,
which has to be temporary, your speed
should not exceed that indicated on the
wheel's label. If you have to use snow
chains, fit the spare tyre on the rear axle
and check the tyre pressures. Fitting this
tyre can alter the vehicle's normal
behaviour. Avoid accelerating or braking
abruptly and lower your speed on curves.
182)If snow chains must be used and a
front tyre is punctured, fit the spare wheel
on the rear axle and check inflation
pressure. Snow chains cannot be fitted on
the spare wheel.
183)Never leave tools haphazardly in the
vehicle: if you brake suddenly, they could
scatter around the floorboards, causing a
hazard to the occupants. After use, be sure
to fasten the tools in the tool bag, then
place it correctly in its position: risk of
injuries. The jack must only be used for
changing a wheel. It should never be used
to raise the vehicle to perform a repair
underneath.
184)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
