DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. It acts upon
certain power consuming systems in
the vehicle (heating, air conditioning,
power-assisted steering, etc.) and on
certain driving actions (acceleration,
gear changing, cruise control, deceler-
ation, etc.).
Activating the function
Press switch 4.
The warning light in the 4 switch lights
up.
4
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 4.
The indicator light in the switch 4 goes
out.
Journey record
Once the engine is switched off, you
will see “Journey record” displayed on
the screen 3, enabling you to view in-
formation relating to your last journey.
This indicates:
– average fuel consumption;
– number of miles/kilometres travelled;
– number of miles/kilometres saved.

Depending on the vehicle, the func-
tion is active every time the engine
is started. A label is attached to the
dashboard to notify you.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
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.
– 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.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 6.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further towards the
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.

hicle).
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condition-
ing: information and advice on use”.
The controls
1 - Air recirculation control.
2 - Adjusting the air temperature.
3 - Adjusting the ventilation speed.
4 - Adjusting the distribution of air in
the passenger compartment.

óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents. This
position allows the passenger compart-
ment to be heated or cooled more
quickly.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions
marked as
W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 so that the pointer is po-
sitioned opposite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.
Position 0
In this position:
– the air conditioning stops automati- cally even if button 6 is activated (the
indicator light remains lit);
– the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (3/3)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards air recirculation
symbol
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the passenger compart- ment from the outside air (driving in
polluted areas, unpleasant odours,
etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (outside air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is no
longer required, by turning control 1
again.

Only the temperature and the AUTO
symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic mode
are not displayed.
– press button 6 to increase the tem-
perature;
– press button 3 to decrease the tem-
perature.
Note: The maximum and minimum
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the am-
bient conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO indica-
tor light on the display is lit), all air
conditioning functions are controlled
by the system.
When you modify certain functions
the AUTO indicator light goes out.
Only the modified function stops
being controlled by the system.
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.Automatic mode
Press button 5. The AUTO operating
tell-tale will come on.
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passenger
compartment and good visibility (except
in the event of extreme conditions),
while optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use.

3.11
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/8)
In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven-
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem-
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to se-
veral minutes.
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Automatic mode is switched off by pres-
sing buttons 8 and 10.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 2: the AUTO warning light on
display 4 goes out. Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning.
Press button
5 to return to automatic
mode.

Note: if you wish to reduce the air flow
(which may produce a certain amount
of noise in the passenger compart-
ment), press button 10.
To exit this function , press:
– button 1 again;
– or button 5 (the AUTO indicator light
on the display will light up).
Clear View function
Press button 1.
The AUTO button indicator light (on the
display) goes out.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (7/8)
This function rapidly demists/de-ices
the windscreen, the front side windows
and the door mirrors.
It imposes automatic operation of the
air conditioning and rear screen de-
icing, and inhibits air recirculation.
Press button 11 if you do not want the
heated rear screen to be activated.
