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
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator 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 attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffi c noise.
When the traffi c is fl owing well, and if you
have cruise control, make use of the system
at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
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 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sun roof 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 foglamps
when the level of light does not require their
use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and control of the various front and rear
lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.
MAIN LIGHTING
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
ADDITIONAL LIGHTING
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the requirements of particular driving
conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
PROGRAMMING
Various automatic lighting control modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- directional lighting.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
