Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3)
Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there- fore been designed to facilitate future recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti- pollution regulations. The manufac- turer is actively striving to reduce pol- lutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy. But the fuel consumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are also your re- sponsibility. Ensure that it is maintained and used correctly.
Aiding fuel economy
Depending on the vehicle, in order to optimise consumption, an indicator light on the instrument panel will inform you of the best moment to upshift or down- shift gears:
ä upshift a gear;
æ downshift a gear.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to respect antipollution regulations could lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and checked by an approved dealer, in ac- cordance with the instructions given in your Maintenance Service Booklet: they will have all the equipment nec- essary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
–
spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ-
omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved dealer for this.
–
idle: this does not require adjust- ment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a clogged ele- ment reduces performance. It must be replaced.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi- ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans- mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on level roads. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.

Automatic gearbox
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the engine.
With your foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light 4 goes out), move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi- cle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal re- leased.
You must apply the brake before pressing unlocking button 2 to move out of position P.

Driving in automatic mode
Move lever 1 to position D.
In most traffic conditions, you will not have to touch the gear selector lever again: the gears will change automati- cally at the right time and at the most suitable engine speed because the au- tomatic system takes into account the vehicle load and road contour and ad- justs itself to the particular driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever in position D, keeping the accelerator pedal lightly depressed to ensure au- tomatic gear changes at comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully (so that it goes beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down to the optimum gear within the engine range.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
1
Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 in position D, move the lever to the left.Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the instrument panel.
Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving on ground where you are likely to skid
(snow, mud, etc.), press switch 5 and
operating tell-tale 6 will come on.Once these special driving con- ditions no longer apply, exit this function by pressing switch 5 again. Operating tell-tale light 6 goes out. –
If the road contour and bends in the road do not allow you to stay in automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain- ous areas), it is recommended that you switch to manual mode.This will prevent the automatic gear- box from changing gears repeatedly when climbing, and permit engine braking on long descents.
–
In cold weather, start the engine and wait a few seconds before moving the selector lever from posi- tion P or N and engaging it in D or R to prevent the engine stalling.
–
Vehicles not fitted with traction control: on a slippery surface or surface with a low level of adhesion, change to manual mode and select second gear (or even third) before starting the engine to avoid wheel- spin when accelerating.

In very cold weather, the system may prevent the gears from being shifted in manual mode until the gearbox reaches the right tempera- ture.

Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the system’s normal operating mode (AUTO light on) but you may alter the selections made by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the fol- lowing pages.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/8)
This is the recommended mode of use: the automatic heating and air conditioning system guarantees comfort (except in the event of ex- treme conditions) in the passenger compartment and good visibility while optimising consumption.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.
Ambient temperature:
automatic mode (continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen comfort level and to maintain good visibility, the system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– the air temperature.
The displayed temperature values show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increasing or decreasing the value displayed will not allow the comfort level to be reached any more quickly. The system will always optimise the tem- perature increase or decrease (the ventilation system does not start in- stantly at maximum speed: it gradu- ally increases). This may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is a particular reason not to, the dashboard air vents should remain open.
