Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.

FAMILIARISATION

Seat belts not fastened/
unfastened warning lamp
This warning lamp informs you if
the driver’s or front passenger’s
seat belt is not fastened (de-
pending on model), and if the
front passenger’s (depending
on model) or the second-row
passengers’ seat belts are unfastened.
The illuminated positions represent
those whose seat belts are not fas-
tened/unfastened.
Once the function has been activated,
when starting the engine, the system
automatically locks the doors once you
reach approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
This function can be deactivated by
pressing button A
for more than two
seconds.

Tyre under-inflation detection

This function warns you if a tyre is de-
fl ated or punctured.
This system does not absolve the driver
of the need to regularly check the tyre
pressures.
The service warning lamp
comes on, and a vehicle outline
is displayed, accompanied by a
message and an audible signal.
Under-infl ation warning
The STOP
warning lamp comes
on, and a vehicle outline is dis-
played, accompanied by a mes-
sage and an audible signal.

ing button A
.
Once the space has been measured, the
system displays the following messages:

Parking not advised
This device combines:


- automatic functions: Automatic ap-
plication when the engine stops and
automatic release on use of the ac-
celerator (automatic operation by
default);

- manual use: Manual application/re-
lease of parking brake is possible
by operating control lever A
.


Hill start assist

To aid starting on a gradient, your ve-
hicle is equipped with a system which
keeps it immobilised for about 2 seconds,
the approximate time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.

FAMILIARISATION
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, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon. If
your vehicle has the system, the gear
shift indicator invites you to change
up; it is displayed in the instrument
panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, ac-
cording to the type of gearbox, without
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily
or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



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 digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is at-
tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-
ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
ECO-DRIVING

FAMILIARISATION

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly (en-
gine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.




When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before mov-
ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-
hicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-
ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-
sic, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
