Familiarisation















































Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
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 reductionin fuel consumption and CO2 emissions andalso helps 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 byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windowsand leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window blinds...).Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Five-speed electronically controlled gearbox
which offers a choice between the comfort of
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.
Three driving modes are offered:-automatedmode for automatic control
of the gears by the gearbox, without ant action by the driver.
-
sequentialmode for manual changing of
the gears by the driver, using the gear lever
or the steering mounted control paddles
-
auto sequential
mode for over taking, for example, remaining in the automated mode
while using the functions of the sequentialmode.

- optimisation of fuel consumption,

- the drivin
g style,

- the road conditions,

- t
