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.

To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
- o nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of unapproved mats may inter fere
with access to the pedals and hinder the
operation of the cruise control/speed
limiter.
The approved mats have two fixings
located below the seat.
Cigar lighter/12 V accessory
s o c ket (s)
F To use a 12 V accessory (max power: 120 W), remove the cigar lighter and
connect a suitable adaptor.
You can use this socket to connect a telephone
charger, a bottle warmer, etc.
After use, put the cigar lighter
back into place
straight away.
F
T
o use the cigar lighter, press it in and wait a
few seconds until it pops out automatically. The connection of an unapproved
electrical device, such as a USB charger,
may adversely affect the operation of
vehicle electrical systems, causing faults
such as poor telephone reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB player
This connection box comprises a USB port and
a Jack auxiliary socket.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as an iPod®-type digital
audio player, or a USB memory stick.
The USB reader reads your audio files which
are then transferred to the audio system and
played via the vehicle’s speakers.
These files are managed via the steering wheel
controls or from the audio system.
When connected to the USB port,
the portable device can be charged
automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied by
the vehicle.
The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be played
through the vehicle's speakers.
These files are managed from the portable
device.

Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact the dealer network
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Memorising speeds
This function allows speeds to be saved, which
can then be offered to set the two systems: the
speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle)
or the cruise control (for a vehicle cruising
speed).
You can memorise up to five or six speed
settings in the system, depending on version.
Default speed settings have already been
stored.As a safety measure, the driver must only
modify a speed setting when stationary.

"MEM" button
This button allows you to select a speed setting
to be used with the speed limiter or cruise
control.
Refer to the corresponding section.
Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter is a driving aid only.
It does not exempt the driver from the
need to obser ve speed limits or to remain
vigilant at all times.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually.
The minimum programmed speed is 19 mph
(30 km/h).

F Press the button for the desired speed setting.
This setting becomes the new limit speed.
Temporarily exceeding the
speed setting
F If you want to temporarily exceed the programmed speed limit, press firmly on
the accelerator pedal, beyond the point of
resistance .
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
Switching off
F Turn the thumbwheel 1 to position 0 :
displayed speed limiter information
disappears.
Operating fault
The use of mats not approved by the
manufacturer may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
When the speed limit is exceeded but this is not
due to action by the driver, an audible signal
supplements the alert.
Cruise control
System which automatically
maintains the cruising speed of the
vehicle at a setting programmed by
the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on manually.
It requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) as well as:
-
w
ith a manual gearbox, the engagement of
fourth gear or higher,
-
w
ith an automatic gearbox, the gear
selector at position D or second gear or
higher in manual mode.
The operation of the cruise control can be
momentarily interrupted (paused):
-
b
y pressing the Pause control or by
pressing the brake or clutch pedals,
-
a
utomatically, if operation of the dynamic
stability control system is triggered.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed setting.
The cruise control system is a driving aid
that cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need to obser ve speed limits, nor the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again.
Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.
