Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices 
that 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 
and 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, 
use 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 
background 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
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 around 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...).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off 
the air conditioning as soon as the desired 
temperature has been reached. 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. Switch off the demisting and defrosting 
controls, if these are not automatically 
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
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.

Limit the causes of excess 
consumption
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...). Preferably, use a roof 
box. 
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
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...) 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 
3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only 
after around the first 1,900 miles (3,000 
kilometres) that you will see the fuel 
consumption settle down to a consistent 
average. Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on 
any trailer or caravan.

Warning and indicator lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver that a 
system is in operation, switched off (on/off 
indicator lamps) or has a fault (warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few 
seconds in the instrument panel when the 
vehicle's ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these warning 
lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before driving refer to the 
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The switching on of certain warning lamps may 
be accompanied by an audible signal and a 
message.
There are two types of lighting for warning 
lamps, fixed (continuous) or flashing.Some warning lamps may present both 
types: fixed or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the 
operating state of the vehicle can it be 
decided whether the situation is normal or 
whether a fault has occurred. In the event 
of a fault, the illumination of the warning 
lamp may be accompanied by a message.
Warning lamps 
When the engine is running or the vehicle is 
being driven, illumination of one of the following 
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires 
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a 
warning lamp must be investigated further 
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the 
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
The lighting of one of the following indicator 
lamps confirms that the corresponding system 
is on.
Deactivation indicator lamp
If this indicator lamp comes on, this confirms 
that the corresponding system has been 
switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message being displayed.

Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
STOP Fixed, alone or 
associated with 
another warning 
lamp, accompanied 
by an audible signal 
and a message in the 
screen. Illumination of this warning lamp is 
associated with a serious fault with 
the braking system, power steering, 
engine lubrication system or cooling 
system.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk 
that the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call the dealer network 
or a qualified workshop.
Maximum 
coolant 
temperature Fixed.
The temperature of the cooling 
system is too high. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before 
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact the dealer network or 
a
 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil 
pressure Fixed.
There is a fault with the engine oil 
lubrication circuit. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact the dealer 
network or a qualified workshop.
Seat belt not 
fastened/
unfastened *Fixed, then flashing, 
accompanied by an 
increasing audible 
signal. The driver or front passenger has 
not fastened or has unfastened their 
seat belt.
At least one rear passenger has 
unfastened their seat belt. Pull on the belt in question and insert the tongue in the 
buckle.
This warning repeats the seat belt information given by 
the roof console warning lamps.

Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
Battery charge Fixed. The battery charging circuit has a 
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or 
cut alternator belt, etc.). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is 
started.
If it does not go off, contact the dealer network or a 
qualified workshop.
Parking brake Fixed. The parking brake is applied or not 
properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning 
lamp, keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Observe the safety recommendations.
For more information on the manual or electric parking 
brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Electric parking 
brake Flashing.
The electric parking brake is not 
applied automatically.
The application/release is faulty. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park on flat level ground, engage a gear (or place the 
lever in position P for an automatic gearbox), switch 
off the ignition and contact the dealer network or a 
qualified workshop.
