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.

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...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refi t 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:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd

cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

07 MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS







CD, MP3/WMA CD, MP3/WMA SD CARD/
USB PLAYER

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when
recording it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet
standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always
used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible
(4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
The audio equipment will only play audio fi les with the extension
".mp3" with a speed of between 8 Kbps and 320 Kbps and the
extension ".wma" with a speed of between 5 Kbps and 384 Kbps.
It also supports the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of fi le (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played. The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1, 2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3
and the WMA format, an abbreviation of Windows Media Audio and
the property of Microsoft, are audio compression standards which
permit the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.

Connecting an IPod:
To play MP3 type fi les, connect the IPod using the USB port
(limited functions).
To play ITunes fi les, connect the IPod using the auxiliary socket
(AUX).

In order to be read, a USB memory stick must be formatted to
FAT 32.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, without using
of special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and
displaying problems.

During play, exit the "SD-Card" or "USB" source before removing
the SD card or the USB memory stick from its port.

To avoid any risk of theft, remove the SD card or the USB memory
stick when you leave your vehicle with the roof open.
