Limit the causes of excessconsumption

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...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t 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:


- 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 on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilome-
tres) that you will see the fuel consumption
settle down to a consistent average.

DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, 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:


- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.

Programming

Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "LIMIT"

position: the speed limiter mode
is selected but is not switched on

limiter on in order to set the speed.

Exceeding the programmed speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.
