ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata -
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre -
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi -
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter -
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations. –
At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis -
lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re -
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the
environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

Operating faults
– When driving, if the message
“Check gearbox” and the
©
warning light appear on the instru -
ment panel, this indicates a fault.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– When driving, if the message
“Gearbox overheating” appears on
the instrument panel, drive at a mod-
erate speed and avoid leaving the
lever in the D (or R) position, where
traffic conditions allow: always return
to the N position when you stop.
Contact your approved Dealer as
soon as possible.
– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down, refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
AUTOMATIC GEARbOx (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (eg.:
engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Program) the auto -
mated system may change the gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.
1
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
dealer.

Heating/air conditioning
switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 6.
the air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– e l i m i n a t i n g c o n d e n s a t i o n m o r e
quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further towards the
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.

– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.

normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi -
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila -
tion and position 4 for maximum ven -
tilation.
Position 0
In this position:
– the air conditioning stops automati -
cally even if button 6 is activated (the
indicator light remains lit);
– the ventilation speed of air in the
passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air
when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.
HeA tinG/Air COnDitiOninG (3/3)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards air recirculation
symbol
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the passenger compart -
ment from the outside air (driving in
polluted areas, unpleasant odours,
etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re -
newed air in the passenger com -
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (outside air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is no
longer required, by turning control 1
again.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents on and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.
Air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
note
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.

As a general rule, if there is a load
on the roof, use of the sunroof is not
recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop -
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera -
tion of the sunroof.
