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
 ope
n.
Remember
 to  make  use  of  equipment  that  can  help  keep  the
 t
emperature  in  the  passenger  compartment  down  (sunroof  and  window
 b
linds...).
Switch
 off  the  air  conditioning,  unless  it  has  automatic  regulation,  as
 s
oon  as  the  desired  temperature  is  attained.
Switch
 off  the  demisting  and  defrosting  controls,  if  not  automatic.
Switch
 off  the  heated  seat  as  soon  as  possible.
Switch
 off  the  headlamps  and  front  foglamps  when  the  level  of  light Â
d
oes  not  require  their  use.
Avoid
 running  the  engine  before  moving  off,  particularly  in  winter;  your Â
v
ehicle  will  warm  up  much  faster  while  driving.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During  acceleration  change  up  early.
With
 an  automatic  or  electronic  gearbox,  give  preference  to  automatic Â
m
ode  and  avoid  pressing  the  accelerator  pedal  heavily  or  suddenly.
The
 gear  efficiency  indicator  invites  you  engage  the  most  suitable  gear: Â
a
s  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  instrument  panel,  follow  it Â
s
traight  away.
For
 vehicles  fitted  with  an  electronic  or  automatic  gearbox,  this Â
i
ndicator  appears  only  in  manual  mode.
drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than  the  brake  pedal,  and  press  the  accelerator  progressively.  These Â
p
ractices  contribute  towards  a  reduction  in  fuel  consumption  and  CO
2
emissions
Â
and
Â
also
Â
helps
Â
reduce
Â
the
Â
background
Â
traffic
Â
noise.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds a bove  25  mph  (40  km/h)  when  the  traffic  is  flowing  well.As
 a  passenger,  if  you  avoid  connecting  your  multimedia  devices Â
(
film,  music,  video  game...),  you  will  contribute  towards  limiting  the  c
onsumption  of  electrical  energy,  and  so  of  fuel.
Disconnect  your  portable  devices  before  leaving  the  vehicle.

Digital air conditioningThe air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"Â button. Â T
he "AUTO" symbol  is  displayed.
We
 recommend  that  you  use Â
t
his  mode.  It  provides  optimised Â
a
utomatic
 control  of  all  of  the  following Â
f
unctions:
 passenger  compartment Â
t
emperature,  air  flow,  air  distribution  and  air Â
i
ntake,
Â
in
Â
accordance  with  the  comfort  value Â
t
hat
Â
you
Â
have  chosen.
This
Â
system  is  designed  to  operate  effectively Â
i
n
Â
all
Â
seasons,  with  the  windows  closed. For
 your  comfort,  when  the  engine  is Â
s
witched  off,  the  settings  are  retained Â
u
ntil  the  engine  is  switched  on  again.
To  prevent  too  great  a  distribution  of Â
c
old  air  when  the  engine  is  cold,  the  air Â
f
low  will  only  reach  its  optimum  level Â
g
radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds t
o  a  level  of  comfort  and  not  to  a  temperature  in Â
d
egrees  Celsius  or  Fahrenheit. On
 entering  the  vehicle,  if  the  interior Â
i
s  very  cold  or  hot,  there  is  no  need  to Â
c
hange  the  value  displayed  in  order Â
t
o  reach  the  required  level  of  comfort. Â
T
he  system  corrects  the  temperature Â
d
ifference  automatically  and  as  quickly Â
a
s  possible.
Press the " 5"
 and  "6 " buttons to
change
 this  value.  A  setting  around Â
t
he value 21
Â
enables  optimum Â
c
omfort  to  be  obtained.  However, Â
d
epending  on  your  requirements,  a Â
s
etting  between  18  and  24  is  usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort programme m
ay  not  be  sufficient  for  rapid Â
d
emisting  or  defrosting  of  the Â
w
indscreen  and  side  windows Â
(
humidity,
 several  passengers,  ice,  etc.).
In
Â
this
Â
case,  select  the  automatic  visibility Â
p
rogramme.  The  button  3  indicator  lamp Â
comes
Â
on.
The
Â
system  automatically  controls  the  air Â
c
onditioning  and  the  flow  of  air  and  provides Â
o
ptimum
Â
air  distribution  to  the  windscreen  and Â
s
ide
Â
windows.  It  deactivates  air  recirculation  5.
To
Â
exit
Â
this  programme,  press  button  3  again Â
or "AUTO" ,
 the  indicator  lamp  on  the  button Â
g
oes
Â
off
Â
and  "AUTO"
Â
is  displayed.
With
 Stop  &  Start,  when  demisting  has Â
b
een  activated,  the  STOP  mode  is  not Â
a
vailable.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-  i f  you  press  the  accelerator  and Â
b

-
Â
i
f  you  force  the  movement  of  the Â

another position when the battery
is
 flat.
To
 reduce  fuel  consumption  when  at
 a

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can engage p osition P or NÂ
to  place  the  gearbox  in  neutral.
In
 both  cases,  apply  the  parking  brake  to
 i

Invalid value during manual
operation
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear  selected  flashes  for  a  few  seconds,  then Â
t

It
 is  possible  to  change  from  position  d
(automatic)
 to  position  M  (manual)  at  any  time.
When
 the  vehicle  is  stationary  or  moving Â

Stop & StartThe Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...). The engine  restarts  automatically  -  START  mode  -  as  soon  as  you  want  to  move  off.  The  restart  takes  place  instantly,  quickly  and  silently.
Per fect
 for  urban  use,  the  Stop  &  Start  system  reduces  fuel  consumption  and  exhaust  emissions  as  well  as  the  noise  level  when  stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort, during parking manoeuvres,  STOP  mode  is  not Â
a
vailable  for  a  few  seconds  after Â
c
oming  out  of  reverse  gear.
STOP
 mode  does  not  affect  the Â
f
unctionality of the vehicle, such as for
example,
 braking,  power  steering...
Never
 refuel  with  the  engine  in  STOP Â
