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 resist-
ance (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
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 regu-
larly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...)
and observe the schedule of oper-
ations recommended by the manu-
facturer.When refuelling, do not continue
after the 3rd 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.

AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT
Two deployment stages are pos-sible:The fi rst deployment stageis from around 65 km/h (40 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.25 km/h (16 mph); below this speed,
the Piloted Defl ector retracts completely.
The second deployment stageis from around 125 km/h (78 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.105 km/h (65 mph); below this speed,

MAINTENANCE
For any maintenance that may be
necessary on your Piloted Defl ec-
tor (leaves or other components jammed), deploy it in the mainte-
nance position: Switch off the igni-
tion then within one minute action
the wiper stalk. Your Piloted Defl ec-
tor deploys.
Next, to retract it, start then drive at over 10 km/h (6 mph).Note: The maintenance position makes the wipers stand up verti-cally. See "Wash/wipe".
ACCESSORIESIt is recommended to place thePiloted Defl ector in the mainte-nance position before installingan accessory on the boot (for example a bicycle-carrier).
Installation of accessories on
the vehicle (roof bars, roof box,
bicycle-carrier, etc.) limits theeffectiveness of the Piloted Defl ector.
Note:Depending on engine-type,certain versions are equipped witha fi xed defl ector.
