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).

Indicators
Service indicator
The servicing information is expressed in terms of
distance (kilometres or miles) and time (months
or days).
The alert is given at whichever of these two terms
is reached first.
The servicing information is displayed in the
instrument panel. Depending on the version of the
vehicle:
–

The dist
ance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next service
is due, or the distance travelled since it was due
preceded by the "-" sign.
–

An alert me
ssage indicates the distance
remaining, as well as the period before the next
service is due or how long it is overdue.
The value indicated is calculated
according to the distance covered and the
time elapsed since the last service.
The alert may also be triggered close to a due
date.
Service spannerOn temporarily when the ignition is
switched on.
Between 620 and 1,860 miles (1,000 and 3,000
km) remain before the next service is due.
Fixed, when the ignition is switched on.

Malfunction of the SCR emissions control
system
Malfunction detection


If a malfunction is detected,
these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and an "Emissions fault”
message.
The alert is triggered while driving, when the fault
is detected for the first time, and thereafter when
switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys,
while the cause of the fault persists.
If the fault is temporary, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnostic checks of the SCR emissions
control system.
Malfunction confirmed during the permitted
driving phase (between 685 miles and 0 miles
(1,100 km and 0 km))
If the fault indication is still displayed
permanently after 31 miles (50 km) of driving, the
fault in the SCR system is confirmed.
The AdBlue warning lamp flashes, and an 
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented in X miles”
message is displayed, indicating the driving range
in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every 30
seconds. The alert is repeated when switching on
the ignition.
You can continue driving for up to 685 miles
(1,100 km) before the engine immobiliser system
is triggered.
Have the system checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Starting prevented
Whenever the ignition is switched on, the
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented” message is
displayed.
To be able to restart the engine, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power indicator (Electric)

CHARGE
Traction battery charging during deceleration and
braking.
ECO
Moderate energy consumption and optimised

On switching on the ignition, your vehicle’s
electric drive train neither consumes nor
generates energy: after sweeping over the
indicator, the cursor returns to its "neutral"
position.

Range
(miles or km)Distance that can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving
style or relief, resulting in a significant change in
the current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 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 62
miles (100 km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed while driving, contact a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
