Until you have gone 1,500 km, do not
exceed 130 km/h on the highest ratio,
or 2,500 rpm. After that mileage, you
can push the engine harder, but the
vehicle will perform better only after
having travelled 6,000 kilometres.
During the running-in period, do not
accelerate abruptly while the engine is
cold, and avoid running it too fast.

STARTING AND DRIVING

SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Fuel consumption is approved in
compliance with a standard and
regulated method that is identical for all
manufacturers, allowing vehicles to be
compared with each other. The real fuel
consumption depends on the vehicle's
usage, equipment and driving style.
Depending on the vehicle, you can have
different functions available that let you
reduce your fuel consumption:
gear change indicator;
driving style indicator;
route summary and ecological advice
through a multi-media display panel;
the ECOMODE function that can be
activated by the ECO button.
If the vehicle has one, the navigation
system completes this information.Gear change indicators
Depending on the versions, a warning
light 1 fig. 224 on the instrument panel
tells you the best time to shift up or
down to optimise fuel consumption:
Shift up;
Shift down;
Driving style indicator
This informs you about your adopted
driving style in real time. The result is
shown by the colour of the indicator
light 2 fig. 224.
Green: flexible, economical driving;
Yellow: adopt a flexible style;
Orange: driving too dynamic.
To activate/deactivate the driving style
indicator, refer to the RADIO/TOUCH –
RADIO NAV supplement.Route summary
When the engine is stopped, an
appropriate message appears on the
display 3 fig. 225 with information about
your last route.
It indicates:
average fuel consumption;
mileage;
the number of kilometres saved.
