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.

COMFORT
Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended that you
have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To preserve the sealing of the air
conditioning compressor, operate
the air conditioning at least once a
month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter (active
carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle's servicing
schedule (see the servicing booklet).
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumb wheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning in the passenger com-
partment uses a number of sensors
(sunshine sensor, ambient tempera-
ture sensor...) that relieve you of the
need to make frequent adjustments to
the displayed temperature.
Take care not to obstruct the sun-
shine sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

while the vehicle is stationary.

during your manoeuvres, the mirror
lightens automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.
