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.
Eco-driving

8
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/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
STOP Fixed, alone or
associated with
another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in the

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.

This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
+ Flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected

Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most of the
ergonomic layout of the instruments and controls, carry out
these adjustments in the following order:
-
t
he height of the head restraint,
-

t
he seat backrest angle,
-
t

he seat cushion height,
-
t

he longitudinal (forwards-backwards) position of the seat,
-
t

he height of the steering wheel,
-

t
he rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been made,
check the instrument panel can be viewed
correctly from your driving position.
Manual adjustments

F Raise the control and slide the seat forwards or backwards.
F

R
elease the control to lock the position. Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no object or person in
the way, preventing full travel of the seat.

passengers if present in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.
Seat height
F Pull the control upwards to raise or push
it downwards to lower, as many times as
necessary, to obtain the position required.
