8Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving refers to a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise the vehicle's
energy consumption (fuel and/or electricity) and
CO
2 emissions.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode. Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift 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 practices
help to save on energy consumption, 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.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly, select the
cruise control.
Control the use of 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. 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
(e.g. sunroof blind, window blinds).
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.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or foglamps
to the level of visibility, in accordance with
current legislation in the country in which you are
driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter (other than in severe wintry
conditions: temperature below -23°C). The vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (e.g. film, music, video game) to help
reduce the consumption of energy.
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 (e.g. 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
summer tyres.
Comply with the 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 forget the spare wheel and, where
applicable, the tyres on your trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (e.g. engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment
filter, etc.). Observe the schedule of operations in
the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system
has a fault, 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 legal levels.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the third cut-out of the nozzle, 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).
Optimising the driving range (rechargeable
hybrid vehicles)
Connect the vehicle as soon as possible.
Favour the ECO zone of the power indicator by
driving smoothly and at a steady speed.

Access02
Swallowing the battery can cause serious
internal burning in only 2 hours and can be
fatal.
If batteries have been swallowed or inserted
into a part of the body, seek immediate
medical advice.
Keep new and used batteries out of the reach
of children.
If the battery compartment does not close
properly, stop using the product and keep it out
of the reach of children.
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with an incorrect type!
Replace the battery with the same type.
Risk of explosion or leaking of
inflammable liquid or gas!
Do not use in/store in/place in an environment
where the temperature is extremely high or
where the pressure is extremely low due to
very high altitude.
Do not try to burn, crush or cut a used battery.
Reinitialising the remote
control
Following replacement of the battery or in the
event of a fault, it may be necessary to reinitialise
the remote control.


►  Insert the mechanical key (incorporated into
the remote control) into the lock to open the
vehicle.
►  Place the electronic key against the back-up
reader on the steering column and hold it there
until the ignition is switched on.
►  While in mode P of the automatic gearbox,
depress the brake pedal.
►  Switch on the ignition by pressing the "START/
STOP" button.
If the fault persists after reinitialisation, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Doors
Opening
From outside
►  After unlocking the vehicle or with the
"Keyless Entry and Start" system electronic key in
the recognition zone, pull the door handle.
When selective unlocking is activated, the
first press of the remote control unlocking
button permits unlocking of the driver's door
only.
From inside
►  Pull the interior opening control of a door; this
unlocks the vehicle completely.
With selective unlocking activated:
– O pening the driver's door unlocks the
driver's door only (if the vehicle has not already
been completely unlocked).
–

O

pening one of the passenger doors unlocks
the rest of the vehicle.
Boot
Opening the tailgate

►  With the vehicle unlocked or with the
electronic key in the recognition zone, press the
central tailgate control.

33
Access02
►  Raise the tailgate.
When selective unlocking is activated, the
electronic key must be close to the rear of
the vehicle.
The tailgate is not designed to hold a
bicycle carrier.
Closing the tailgate
►  Lower the tailgate using the interior grips.
►  Release the grips and press down on the
outside of the tailgate to close it.
In the event of a malfunction or if you
experience difficulty opening or closing
the tailgate, have it checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay, to avoid the
issue deteriorating and prevent any risk of the
tailgate dropping, potentially causing serious
injury.
Back-up release
To manually unlock the boot in the event of a
battery or central locking failure.
Unlocking
►  Fold the rear seats to gain access to the lock
from inside the boot.


►  Insert a small screwdriver into hole A of the
lock to unlock the boot.
►  Move the latch to the left.
Locking after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot
will remain locked.
In the event of a fault with the central
locking system, it is essential to
disconnect the battery to lock the boot and so
ensure complete locking of the vehicle.
Motorised tailgate
(Depending on version)
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.


Check that there is enough space to allow
for the movement of the motorised
tailgate.


Never insert a finger in the locking system
of the motorised tailgate - risk of serious
injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle detection
system that automatically interrupts and reverses
its movement by a few degrees, to allow the
obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1 cm from completely closed).
To avoid the risk of injury through
pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the motorised tailgate:
–

ensure tha
t there is no-one close to the rear
of the vehicle.
