Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
t hat allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
an d change up without waiting. During
acceleration, change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to
engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
u se engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a
reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also help reduce the
b
ackground traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25
mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached. As a
passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game,
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual identifiers informing the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off (on/
off indicator lamps) or has developed a
fault
(warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
s econds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine 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.
The passenger airbag system operation
indicator lamp remains lit for one minute after
the ignition is on, even after the engine is
started.
Associated warnings
The lighting of certain indicator lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message on the multifunction screen. The warning lamp may come on
continuously (fixed) or flash.
Some warning lamps may have both types
of lighting. Only by relating the type of
illumination to the operating status of the
vehicle can it be ascertained whether the
situation is normal or whether a
fault has
occurred.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a
warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated
message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the
dealer network or a
qualified workshop.

button; the spanner disappears.
Following this step, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the reset
to be taken into account.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the ser vice information at any
time.

for a
few seconds, then disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
Oil level correct
Low oil level
(Depending on version) The level read will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30
minutes.
It is indicated by "OIL" flashing, accompanied
by the Ser vice warning lamp lighting up, an
audible signal and a
message.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a
few
seconds after switching the ignition on, after
the servicing information.

AdBlue® range indicators
These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is on reser ve or after
detection of a
fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
Range greater than 1,500
miles (2,400 km)
When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.
Range between 1,500
miles and 370 miles
(2,400
and 600
km) Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Range below 370
miles (600
km)Oil level indicator fault
It is indicated by " OIL- -" flashing.
Contact the dealer network or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a
fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up.
Go to a
member of the dealer network or
a
qualified workshop to have the AdBlue
®
topped up.
You can also top up the tank yourself.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the
vehicle.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of a
message (e.g. "Top
up emissions additive: Starting prevented in
900
miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
When driving, the message is displayed every
185
miles (300
km) until the level is topped up. When switching on the ignition, this warning
lamp flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an audible signal
and the display of a
message (e.g. "Top up
emissions additive: Starting prevented in
350
miles") indicating the remaining range
expressed in miles or kilometres.
