DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/4)ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which op-
timises fuel consumption. It acts on
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.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
Depress 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.

An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the rating,
the lower the fuel consumption.
Eco advice is given to help improve
your performance.
With your favourite journeys saved, you
can evaluate your performance.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.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.

Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– 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.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an- ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.

2.11
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.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
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 repro-
cessed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufactu-
rer is actively striving to reduce pollu-
tant 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
responsibility. Ensure that it is maintai-
ned and used correctly.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 chec-
ked by an approved Dealer, in accor-
dance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic subs-
tances may be released into the atmos-
phere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the ins-
trument 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 an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information on
«Additive tank» in Section 1.

An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

2.15
Handbrake
To apply:
Pull upwards, check that the vehicle is
properly immobilised.
To release:
Pull the lever up slightly, press button 1
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Make sure that the hand-
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over-
heating, or even damage, may
occur.
When the vehicle is
stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1
st or reverse).

Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/5)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.18
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (3/5)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ABS” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light.
Consult an approved dealer.
Driver assistance with a
trailer
This system helps to maintain control
over the vehicle while using a trailer.
It detects shaking caused by towing a
trailer under certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
– the towbar must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the harness must be approved by an authorised dealer;
– the towbar must be connected to the vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
– asymmetric braking of the front wheels to reduce shaking caused by
the trailer;
– braking of all four wheels and limita- tion on engine torque to reduce the
vehicle speed until the shaking has
stopped.
Warning light
 flashes on the in-
strument panel to inform the driver.

2.19
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (4/5)
Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).“Soft ground” mode
Press the switch 1: warning light 
comes on the instrument panel accom-
panied by the message “VARIABLE
HIGHWAY MODE”.
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). “Soft ground” mode uses trac-
tion control functions. The system au-
tomatically switches to “Road” mode at
speeds above 30 mph (50 km/h), and
warning light
 on the instrument
panel goes out.
Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those re-
commended by your approved
dealer.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
“Road” mode
Upon starting up the vehicle, the
“STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE” mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel. Warning light
 on the ins-
trument panel is out.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions.

2.21
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
1
When fitted to the vehicle, this system
notifies the driver if one or more tyres
lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after swapping a wheel (however this practice is not recommended);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
