Familiarisation















































Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background 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


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening 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.
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and foglamp whenthe level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

.
21
Familiarisation
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe 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...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

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 aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the
schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

Monitoring








Indicator and warning lamps
Cer tain warning lamps may come onin one of two different modes. Only by relating the type of illumination to the operating status of the vehicle can itbe ascertained whether the situation isnormal or whether a fault has occurred.

When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the vehicle's ignition isswitched 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.
Associated warnings

The illumination of cer tain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.
Visual indicators informin
g the driver that a system is in operation (operation or deactivation indicator lamps) or of the occurrence of a fault(warning lamp).
