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
refit 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 par ticular:
- 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 ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve 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 over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 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 moving off,
particularly 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 portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

or 3
(e.g.: 55 mph (90 km/h)).
Programming
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2
and 3
:
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = shor t press,

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed speed will not have
any effect unless you press the pedal firmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the programmed speed,
which is still displayed, flashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically cancels the
flashing of the programmed speed. On a steep descent or in the event of sharp
acceleration, the speed limiter will not be
able to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- do not fit one mat on top of another.
Leaving limiter mode

199Practical information
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first gear * to lock
the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle and
wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations

Remove the chromed bolt cover from each
of the bolts using the tool 3
(alloy wheels
only).
)
Fit the socket 4
on the wheelbrace 1
to
slacken the security bolt (if your vehicle is
fitted with them).
)

)
Place the jack 2
in contact with one of the
two front A
or rear B
locations provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
On vehicles fitted with sill finishers, the
jacking location is indicated by a marking
on the finisher. The jack must be placed
centrally in line with this marking, at the
jacking point located behind the finisher
and not on the plastic finisher itself.
)
Remove the bolts and store them in a clean
place.
)
Remove the wheel.
)
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate is in
contact with the ground. Ensure that the
centreline of the jack base plate is directly
below the location A
or B
used.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is sufficient
space between the wheel and the ground
so that the spare (not punctured) wheel can
then be fitted without difficulty.
