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

7
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.

Convertible roof
Your vehicle is equipped with an electrically
operated convertible roof.Electrically operated opening
and closing
The roof is opened and closed by pressing the
control located on the courtesy lamp, in the
opening direction 1 and the closing direction 2 .
The roof manoeuvres can be per formed:
-

w
ith the engine running, or
-

w
ith the ignition on. To maintain the level of charge in the
battery, it is advisable to operate the roof
with the engine running
.
Depending on the level of charge of the
battery, if the roof is operated with the
ignition switched on, starting the engine
may cause the roof to stop moving. To
continue moving the roof, repeat the
command after you have started the
engine.
Manoeuvre zones
You have two manoeuvre zones:
Zone A: horizontal manoeuvre zone, in
manual or automatic mode.
Zone B: vertical manoeuvre zone, in
automatic mode only.

Acoustic air deflector
An acoustic air deflector is available in order to
improve the acoustic comfort of the occupants
of the vehicle in certain driving conditions
(high speed), by limiting currents in the
passenger compartment that are caused by air
displacement. When the roof opens, the deflector may deploy
if it is not fixed.
When the roof is closed, the deflector refolds
automatically.
F

W

member close to the lever to unclip it from
the notch and pull it slightly towards you.
Operating the roof while
driving
The roof opening and closing command
operates at up to about 75 mph
(120


km/h).
Above this speed, a message on the
screen will inform you that the roof
manoeuvre is impossible (speed too high).
If a

roof manoeuvre has been started when the
speed of the vehicle is less than around 75
mph
(120
km/h), exceeding this speed threshold will
result in the following situations, depending on
the type of manoeuvre under way:
-

a m
anoeuvre under way in zone A is
stopped,
-

a
n opening manoeuvre under way in zone B
is allowed to complete,
-

a c
losing manoeuvre under way in zone
B is stopped and the complete opening
of the roof to position 3
is per formed
automatically,
-

a
n opening or closing manoeuvre in zone B
following an "anti-panic" function is allowed
to complete.
A new roof manoeuvre will be possible
once the speed of the vehicle is less than
around 75
mph (120 km/h).

If the vehicle is to be parked outside for
a long period, it is advisable to protect the
roof using a


tarpaulin.
It is advisable to close the roof when you
park the vehicle.
Even if the roof is closed, it is safer not to
leave any valuables inside the vehicle.
Remove the ignition key when you leave
the vehicle to prevent any involuntary roof
movement.
If your vehicle has a
voice command
system, it may be affected if you drive with
the roof open.
Protection of electric motors that control
roof opening and closure: during repeated
opening and closing movements of the
