Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system

This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.


Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obsta-
cle is detected in front of or behind
the vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

This system checks the pressure of
the tyres automatically while driving.
Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

MONITORING

Tyre under-inflation detection

The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is a driving aid which informs you
of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Economy mode

After switching off the engine, some sys-
tems (radio, wipers, electric windows,
opening roof, electric seats, telephone,
video, interior lighting, motorised tail-
gate, etc.) are supplied electrically for a
maximum of no more than around one
hour, so as to avoid discharging the
battery.
This period may be reduced considerably
if the battery's state of charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message
is displayed in the instrument panel
screen and the active functions are
placed on standby.
These functions will be automatically re-
activated when the vehicle is restarted.

Electric parking brake

Never leave a child alone inside
the vehicle with the ignition on,
as they could release the park-
ing brake.

Hill start assist


Manual operation
The MANUAL application/release of
the parking brake is always possible
by pulling/pushing the control lever B
,
keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
If you leave the vehicle with the
engine still running, apply the
parking brake manually. Do not leave the vehicle while
it is being held in the temporary
immobilisation hill start assist
phase. To aid starting on a gradient, your ve-
hicle is equipped with a system which
keeps it immobilised for a short time
(about 2 seconds), the approximate
time it takes to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
This system is only active when:


- The vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal.

- In certain conditions on a gradient.

- With the driver's door closed. Before leaving the ve-
hicle, check that warn-
ing lamp A (!)
(red) in
the instrument panel is
on fi xed (not fl ashing) and that warn-
ing lamp P
(red) in the control lever B

is on.
Automatic operation
The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively when you
press the accelerator. With the vehicle
stationary, the parking brake is auto-
matically applied when the engine is
switched off.

ECO-DRIVING

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 effi ciency indicator invites you to
change up; it is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background
traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature
in the passenger compartment down
(sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
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 fo-
glamps when the level of light does not
require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
