Over view

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,
 a

s soon   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   shift   indicator   invites   you   engage   the   most   suitable   gear:   as  
s

oon   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.

Alarm
System which protects and provides a deterrent against the theft of your vehicle. It provides two types of protection, exterior and interior, as well as a self-protection f unction.
Exterior perimeter
protection
The system detects opening of the vehicle.
T he   alarm   is   triggered   if   anyone   tries   to   enter  
t

he   vehicle   by   forcing   a   door,   the   boot   or   the  
b

onnet.
Interior volumetric
protection
The system detects any variation in the volume in   the   passenger   compartment.
The
  alarm   is   triggered   if   anyone   breaks   a  
w

indow   or   moves   inside   the   vehicle.
If you wish to leave a pet in the vehicle or a
window
  partially   open,   deactivate   the   interior  
v

olumetric
 pro
tection.
Self-protection function
The system detects the putting out of service of its   components.
The
  alarm   is   triggered   if   anyone   tries   to   put  
t

he wires of the siren, the central control or the
battery
  out   of   service.
Do
  not   make   any   modifications   to   the   alarm  
s

ystem,   this   could   cause   malfunctions.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is   filtered   and   originates   either   from   the   outside   via t

he   grille   located   at   the   base   of   the   windscreen   or
 f

rom   the   inside   in   air   recirculation   mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending   on   the   controls   selected   by   the  
d

river:
-
 
d
irect   arrival   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment   (air   intake),
-
 
p
assage   through   a   heating   circuit   (heating),
-
 
p
assage   through   a   cooling   circuit   (air  
c

onditioning).
The
  temperature   control   enables   you   to   obtain  
t

he   level   of   comfort   required   by   mixing   the   air   of  
t

he   various   circuits.
The
  air   distribution   control   enables   you   to  
d

iffuse   the   air   in   the   passenger   compartment  
c

ombining   several   air   vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce
  the   speed   of   the   ventilation   blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together   on   control   panel   A on the centre
console.
  Depending   on   the   model,   the  
f

unctions   offered   are:
-
