Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air
c
onditioning.
Above
30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents
ope
n.
Remember
to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature
i
n the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch
off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as
s
oon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch
off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch
off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch
off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light
d
oes not require their use.
Avoid
running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
v
ehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
m
ode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The
gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
s
oon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
i
ndicator 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 progressively. These
p
ractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions
and
also
helps
reduce
the
background
traffic
noise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds a bove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.As
a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(
film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the c
onsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Digital air conditioningThe air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO" button. T
he "AUTO" symbol is displayed. For
your comfort, when the engine is
s
witched off, the settings are retained
u
ntil the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
c
old air when the engine is cold, the air
f
low will only reach its optimum level
g
radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to
a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
d
egrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On
entering the vehicle, if the interior
i
s very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
t
o reach the required level of comfort.
T
he system corrects the temperature
d
ifference automatically and as quickly
a
s possible.
Press the " 5" and " 6" buttons to
change
this value. A setting around
t
he value 21
enables optimum
c
omfort to be obtained. However,
d
epending on your requirements, a
s
etting between 18 and 24 is usual.

ay not be sufficient for rapid
d
emisting or defrosting of the
w
indscreen and side windows

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched
o

a
fter the ignition is switched off and prevents
s
tarting of the engine by anyone who does not
h
ave the key.In the event of a fault, you are
informed
by illumination of this
w
arning lamp, an audible signal and
a
message in the screen.It
has 3 positions:
