Familiarisation















































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.
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 fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce 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 (window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired 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 foglamp whenthe 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
Automated mode
AUTOand the gear engaged appear in the instrument panel.

Manual mode
The gears engaged appear insuccession in the instrument panel.
The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the par t of thedriver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear taking account of:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- v
ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when over takinganother vehicle for example, press theaccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point of resistance. The
gear change requests are only carried out
i
f the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will not
take place unless the driver operates the gear lever (unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).

Never select neutral (position N ) when moving.



You can change mode at any time bymoving the gear lever from Ato Mor the other way round.
Never select neutral (position N) whenmoving.
You can change mode at any time by moving the gear lever from A
to M

)Select position A.)
Select position M.


Reverse
To engage reverse, the vehicle must be
immobilised with
your foot on the brake.)Select position R.

At low speed, if reverse gear is requested, the Nwarning lamp flashes and the gearbox goes
into neutral automatically.
To e n
gage reverse, put the gear lever intoposition N, then to position R
.


There is an audible signal onengagement of reverse.
