Eco-drivingEco-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
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator 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 CO
2
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. The gear efficiency indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear:
as soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator appears only in manual mode.
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 windows 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 regulation, as 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
does not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
as a p
assenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices
(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
dis
connect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
-
p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-
p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse the air in the passenger compartment
combining 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.

of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.

degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Press the " 5" and " 6" buttons to
change this value.
a setting around
the value 21 enables optimum
comfort to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort programme may
not be sufficient for rapid demisting or
defrosting of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several passengers,
i c e , e t c .) .
In this case, select the automatic visibility programme.

To prevent too great a distribution of
cold air when the engine is cold, the air
flow will only reach its optimum level
gradually.
on e
ntering the vehicle, if the interior
is very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible. Switching to manual mode may not be
suitable (temperature, humidity, odour,
condensation) and does not provide
optimum comfort.
