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.
Eco-driving

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
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 particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

A few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be
travelled with the fuel remaining
in the tank (at the average fuel
consumption seen over the last
distance travelled).
This value may fluctuate if a
change
of driving style or terrain results in
a

significant change in the current fuel
consumption.
When the range falls below around 20
miles
(30

km), dashes are displayed. After filling with
at least 5

litres of fuel, the range is recalculated
and is displayed if it exceeds around 60
miles
(10 0


k m).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed when driving, contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or km/l or l/100 km)
C alculated during the last few
seconds. This function is only displayed from
around 20 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or km/l or l/100 km)
C alculated since the last time the
trip recorder was reset to zero.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last time the
trip recorder was reset to zero.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last time the
trip recorder was reset to zero.
Distance remaining to travel
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to
travel before the final destination is
reached. It can be input by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed instead of numbers.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop &
Start, a time counter adds up the
time spent in STOP mode during
a


j o u r n ey.
It is reset to zero every time the
ignition is switched on using the key.

Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, you can stop the function;
reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption.Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a
risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness,
taking medication, etc.).
There is a
risk of overheating the system if
material with insulating properties is used,
such as cushions or seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

i
f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element in
the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the seat,
-

d
o not kneel or stand on the seat,
-

d
o not place sharp objects on the seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d
o not use liquid products for cleaning
the seat,
-
n

ever use the heating function when
the seat is damp.Access to the rear seats
Ensure that only the appropriate control is
used, located at the top of the backrest.
