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. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
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 fuelconsumption and CO2 emissions and also helpsreduce 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 (sunroof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired 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 front foglampswhen the 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.

Driving
This gearbox has two driving modes:


- an automated mode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox and therefore
without any action on the par t of the driver,

- a manual mode for sequential changing of
the gears by the driver using the steeringmounted controls or the gear lever.





CVT gearbox
It includes the following controls:
- a gear lever 1
on the centre console for selecting the driving mode, reverse gear
and neutral or for changing gear in manual
mode,
-
a "-"
steering mounted control paddle 2
for manual downward gear changes,

- a "+/OFF"steering mounted control paddle 3for manual upward gear changes.

The six-speed automatic
gearbox offers a choice between the comfor t of automatic regulation or the pleasure of manual gear changing.


The mode can be changed at any time.

116
Driving
Manual gear changing
In the automated mode, you can take over
control temporarily at any time using thesteering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manualselection of the gears in situations whichrequire a faster change down than that offered
in automated mode (arrival at a roundabout, exit from a car park with a steep gradient,
over taking...).
The gearbox engages the gear requested if
the engine speed permits it. The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, do one of thefollowing:
- press the back of the "+/OFF"steering mounted control 3for approximately2 seconds,
- move the gear lever quickly towardsposition +/-
and then return it to position D ,
- stop the vehicle.
