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.

During the automatic roof closure in zone
A (position 2 to position 1), pressing the
control stops the roof.
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
ith the roof open, this deflector may be
folded manually and fixed in its centre:
press vertically on the cross member close
to the lever at the top of the deflector, and
clip this lever into the notch.
F
T
o release and deploy the deflector
manually: press vertically on the cross
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).

General operation
If the roof stops in zone B, a message on the
screen will ask you to stop the roof manoeuvre
immediately.
F
M
ake a long press on the control:
-
i
n the direction of opening to reach
position 3 ,
-
i
n the direction of closing to reach
position 2 .
It is prohibited to drive when the roof is
stopped in zone B .
Reinitialisation
If automatic roof operation mode fails, a
reinitialisation must be performed.
F
W
ith the engine on, press and hold the
control in the direction of closing. F
A
fter about 5 seconds, the roof is closed
completely to position 0 .
The roof is then reinitialised.
Do not release the control during the
reinitialisation procedure.
Operating fault
If there is an electrical fault, contact the
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
Never put objects on the open or closed
roof.
To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it
if there is snow or ice present.
Never use sharp tools to remove snow or
ice that has built up on the roof.
Never use a
scraper or spray to remove
ice that may have formed on the rear
window.
Do not activate defrosting/demisting
on the rear window when the roof is
completely open (risk of overheating).
To prevent creases appearing in the
canvas, it is recommended not to leave
the roof open for long periods.
It is not recommended to operate the
vehicle's air conditioning system when the
roof is open.
Do not sit or place anything on the cross
member of the roof when the roof is open.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger compartment
(air intake),
-
p
assage through a
heating circuit (heating),
-
p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).

The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
This air distribution control is used to arrange
the distribution of air in the passenger
compartment by combining several air outlets.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms,
bad odours and greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a
discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F
T o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact the dealer
network or a
qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-
d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-
d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
