DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (2/3)
– 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.
An overall rating from 0 to 100 is dis-
played to let you assess your eco driv-
ing performance. The higher the score,
the better your eco-driving perform-
ance.
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.
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.
Obstruction to driving
On the driver’s side, only
use mats which are specifi-
cally designed for the vehi-
cle, attaching them to the elements
provided and regularly checking
they are secure. Do not lay several
mats on top of each other.
There is a risk the pedals may be
obstructed

TOOLS
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.
The tool kit is located in the luggage
compartment: lift the carpet.
Wheel brace 1Locks or unlocks the wheel bolts and
tow eye 6.
Jack 2Fold it correctly before refitting it in its
housing (ensure that the wheelbrace is
correctly positioned) 3.
Wheel bolt guide 4To finish loosening or starting to tighten
the wheel bolts.
Hubcap tool 5This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Tow eye 6Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
Key 7Used to lock the roof in the event of an
operating fault.
Lever 8This tightens or releases the tow eye 6.
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position
it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.

WHEEL TRIMS - WHEEL
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position
it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.
Remove using the hubcap tool 1 (lo-
cated in the tool kit) by connecting the
hook in the recess provided next to the
valve 2 (to attach the metal clip).
To refit the wheel trim, align it with
valve 2. Push the retaining hooks in
fully, starting with side A near the valve,
followed by B and C, finishing at D op-
posite the valve.
Note: if you are using anti-theft bolts,
refer to the information on “Changing a
wheel”.

TYRES (1/3)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have wear warning strips 1
that are indicators moulded into the
tread at several points.
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local road traffic regulations. When the tyre tread has been worn to
the level of the wear indicators,
they
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is no more than 1.6 mm deep,
resulting in poor roadholding on wet
roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
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
recommended by your approved
dealer.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.
