7Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices 
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel 
consumption and CO
2emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and 
change up promptly. While accelerating, change 
up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic 
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal 
heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator prompts you to 
engage the most suitable gear: whenever this 
indication is displayed on the instrument panel, 
follow it straight away.
With an automatic gearbox, this indicator 
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 gradually. These attitudes 
help to save fuel, reduce CO
2 emissions and 
decrease general traffic noise.
Favour the use of the "Eco" driving mode by 
selecting it using the "Drive Mode" control.
If the vehicle has the steering-mounted "CRUISE" 
control, use cruise control at speeds above 25 
mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.
Use electrical equipment wisely
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment 
is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows 
and air vents before using the air conditioning.
At speeds above 31 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.
Unless automatically regulated, switch off the air 
conditioning as soon as the desired temperature 
has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting 
functions, if they are not managed automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamps when the 
visibility conditions do not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off, 
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up 
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia 
devices (film, music, video game, etc.) to help 
reduce consumption of electrical energy, and 
hence fuel.
Disconnect all portable devices before leaving the 
vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the 
heaviest items in the boot, as close as possible to 
the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and minimise 
wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle 
carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit 
summer tyres.
Comply with servicing instructions
Check tyre pressures regularly, with the tyres 
cold, referring to the label in the door aperture on 
the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
–
 
before a long journe
 y.
–
 
a
 t each change of season.
–
 
a
 fter a long period out of use.
Do not overlook the spare wheel and, where 
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, 
oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter, 
etc.) and observe the schedule of operations in 
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system 
is faulty, your vehicle will emit pollution; visit a 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible 
to restore your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions 
to regulatory compliance.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after 
the third nozzle cut-out, to avoid overflow.
You will only see the fuel consumption of your new 
vehicle settle down to a consistent average after 
the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres).

Customising the instrument 
panel
Depending on version, the appearance of the 
instrument panel may be customisable (colour 
and display mode).
Display language and units
When travelling abroad, the speed must 
be shown in the official units of the country 
you are driving in (mph, miles or km/h, km).
As a safety measure, these adjustments 
must be carried out with the vehicle 
stationary.
Choosing a display colour
The display colour can be selected in the setting 
of a profile in the Settings touch screen menu.
Depending on version, the possible choices are:
–
  "Champagne" (white and champagne),
–
  "Performance Line" (gold and carmine).
If the vehicle is so equipped, selecting the "Sport" 
mode automatically changes the display colour of 
the instrument panel (red theme).

Once the system has been activated, the 
following information is grouped together in the 
head-up display:
A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information and, 
if the vehicle is so equipped, the Road signs 
recognition function.

to the Audio and telematics section.
Selector 
 
 
 
1. On.
2. Off (long press).
3. Brightness adjustment.
4. Display height adjustment.
Activation/Deactivation
►  With the engine running, press button 1 to 
activate the system and deploy the projection 
blade.
►  Press and hold button 2 to deactivate the 
system and retract the projection blade.
The state of the system is saved when the engine 
is switched off and restored on restarting.
Height adjustment
►  With the engine running, adjust the display to 
the desired height using the buttons 4: •
 
up t
 o move the display up,
•
 
do
 wn to move the display down.
Brightness adjustment
► With the engine running, adjust the brightness 
of the information display using the buttons 3: •
 
on the "
 sun" to increase the brightness,
•
 
on the "moon
 " to decrease the brightness.
When stationary or while driving, no 
objects should be placed around the 
projection blade (or in its recess) so as not to 
impede its movement and correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions 
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.), 
the head-up display may not be legible or may 
suffer temporary interference.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, soft 
cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre 
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or 
detergent or solvent products, due to the risk 
of scratching the projection blade or damaging 
the non-reflective coating.
Warning and indicator 
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator 
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a 
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating 
status of a system (operation or deactivation 
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two 
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for 
further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for 
a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. 
These warning lamps should go off as soon as the 
engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
