Familiarisation
   
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.  
 
 
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 ventsopen.  
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compar tment down (sunroof and windowblinds...). 
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital 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 lightdoes not require their use.  
 
 
Avoid running the engine before moving off, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.  
 
 
As a passenger, 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.  
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Eco-driving 
 
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
 
 
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 CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.  
 
 
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.  
 
 
 
The gear shift indicator invites you to change up: as soon as theindication to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.  
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in manual mode.

Monitoring
Indicator and warning lamps
   Cer tain warning lamps may come on inone of two modes: fixed (continuous) or flashing.
 Only by relating the type of illuminationto the operation of the vehicle can it be determined whether the situation isnormal or a fault has occurred. In the event of a fault, the illumination of the warning lamp may be accompanied bya message.  
Refer to the tables on the following pages for more information. Visual indicators informin
g the driver that a system is in operation, switched off or has a 
fault. 
When the ignition is switched on 
Certain warning lamps come on for a fewseconds in the instrument panel when the 
vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the en
gine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off. 
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the 
information on the warning lamp concerned.  
 
 
Associated warnings 
 
The switching on of cer tain warning lamps may be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. 
 The warning lamps may come on continuously (fixed) or flash.  
 
 
The position of the warning lamps in the type 2 instrument panel depends on thecolour scheme selected.
