Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and re-
liable the further you travel after pres-
sing the reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset key you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the fuel consumption may decrease
when:– the vehicle stops accelerating,
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
– when driving from a built-up area
onto the open road.
Therefore, if the average fuel
consumption decreases, the
range will increase. – You may also notice that the ave-
rage fuel consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
Manually resetting the journey para-
meters: with the display showing one
of the journey parameters, press the
button 2 until the display is reset.
Automatically resetting the journey
parameters: the reset is automatic
when the capacity of one of the memo-
ries is exceeded.

FUEL TANK (2/6)
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).Fuel grade
Always use a high-grade fuel that
complies with the legislation in force
in each country. It must conform to the
specifications given on label C inside
the fuel filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications given on the label
inside fuel filler flap C.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that con-
forms to the specifications given on the
label inside fuel flap C.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel other-
wise you risk damaging the engine.

2.7
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.If the
 warning light flashes,
this means that the clutch pedal is
not sufficiently released;
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap- proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the
 warning light
appears on the instrument panel to warn
you when the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The gearbox is in position D, M or N;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi- ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de- pressed;
and
– the vehicle’s speed is zero for around one second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
The ignition must be
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see sec-
tion on “Starting, stopping
the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufactur-
ers, this enables vehicles to be com-
pared with one another. Consumption
in real time depends on vehicle usage
conditions, the equipment fitted and the
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the follow-
ing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:
– the rev counter;
– gear change indicator;
– ECO mode – activated by the ECO button.
Gear change indicator 1To obtain optimum consumption levels,
a warning light on the instrument panel
lets you know the best time to move up
or down a gear:
Š move up a gear;
‰ move down a gear.

ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. This acts on
certain consumption components, such
as the engine.
Activating the function
Press switch 3.
The 2
 warning light comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.
Disabling the function
Press switch 3.
The 2
 light goes out on the in-
strument panel to confirm deactivation.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/5)
Your vehicle has a greater
ground clearance than an
ordinary passenger vehicle.
This gives it a higher centre
of gravity, making it more suscep-
tible to rolling during sudden or ag-
gressive manoeuvres, or when cor-
nering at high speeds.
Take extra care when the vehicle is
loaded (in particular when the load
is on the roof).
Ensure that all passengers are wea-
ring their seat belts.
A label A affixed to the sun visor re-
minds you of this.
A
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

2.19
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (5/5)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow.
