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   windows   and   leave   the   air   vents
 ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the
 t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (sunroof   and   window
 b

linds...).
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   efficiency   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:  
a

s   soon   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.

Visual indicators informing the driver that   a   system   is   in   operation   (operation

Indicator and warning lamps
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may be   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal   and   a  
m

Certain
  warning   lamps   may   come

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.
We
  recommend   that   you   use  
t

his   mode.   It   provides   optimised  
a

utomatic
  control   of   all   of   the   following  
f

unctions:
  passenger   compartment  
t

emperature,   air   flow,   air   distribution   and   air  
i

ntake,
 
in
 
accordance   with   the   comfort   value  
t

hat
 
you
 
have   chosen.
This
 
system   is   designed   to   operate   effectively  
i

n
 
all
 
seasons,   with   the   windows   closed. 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 t
o   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  
c

hange   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.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort programme m
ay   not   be   sufficient   for   rapid  
d

emisting   or   defrosting   of   the  
w

indscreen   and   side   windows  
(

humidity,
  several   passengers,   ice,   etc.).
In
 
this
 
case,   select   the   automatic   visibility  
p

rogramme.   The   button   3   indicator   lamp  
comes
 
on.
The
 
system   automatically   controls   the   air  
c

onditioning   and   the   flow   of   air   and   provides  
o

ptimum
 
air   distribution   to   the   windscreen   and  
s

ide
 
windows.   It   deactivates   air   recirculation   5.
To
 
exit
 
this   programme,   press   button   3   again  
or "AUTO" ,
  the   indicator   lamp   on   the   button  
g

oes
 
off
 
and   "AUTO"
 
is   displayed.
With
  Stop   &   Start,   when   demisting   has  
b

een   activated,   the   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-  i f   you   press   the   accelerator   and  
b

rake   pedals   at   the   same   time,
-
 
i
f   you   force   the   movement   of   the  
g

ear   lever   from   the   P position to
another position when the battery
is
  flat.
To
  reduce   fuel   consumption   when   at
 a

  prolonged   standstill   with   the   engine
 r

unning   (traffic   jam...),   put   the   gear   lever   in
 t

he N
 

position   and   apply   the   parking   brake.
If the lever is not in position P
,
when
 
the
 
driver's
 
door
 
is
 
opened
 
or
 
a

pproximately

Operating fault
Manual operation
When the ignition is on, the lighting o f   this   warning   lamp,   accompanied  
b

y
 
an
 
audible   signal   and   a   message   in   the  
m

ultifunction   screen,   indicates   a   gearbox   fault.
In
 
this
 
case,   the   gearbox   switches   to   back-up  
m

ode
 
and
 
is   locked   in   3rd   gear.   You   may   feel  
a

 
substantial   knock   when   changing   from   P
to R
 
and
 
from   N to R .
  This   will   not   cause   any  
d

amage
 
to
 
the   gearbox.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage p osition P or N 
to   place   the   gearbox   in   neutral.
In
  both   cases,   apply   the   parking   brake   to
 i

mmobilise   the   vehicle.
Invalid value during manual
operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear   selected   flashes   for   a   few   seconds,   then  
t

he   actual   gear   engaged   is   displayed.
It
  is   possible   to   change   from   position  d
(automatic)
  to   position   M   (manual)   at   any   time.
When
  the   vehicle   is   stationary   or   moving  
v

ery   slowly,   the   gearbox   selects   gear   M1
automatically.
The
  sport   and   snow   programmes   do   not  
o

perate   in   manual   mode.

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine   restarts   automatically   -   START   mode   -   as   soon   as   you   want   to   move   off.   The   restart   takes   place   instantly,   quickly   and   silently.
Per fect
  for   urban   use,   the   Stop   &   Start   system   reduces   fuel   consumption   and   exhaust   emissions   as   well   as   the   noise   level   when   stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres,   STOP   mode   is   not  
a

vailable   for   a   few   seconds   after  
c

oming   out   of   reverse   gear.
STOP
  mode   does   not   affect   the  
f

unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
  braking,   power   steering...
Never
