Advice: antipollution and fuel economy
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 reproc-
essed 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
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained 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:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down 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 schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary 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.

i
dle: this does not require adjust-
ment.
–

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
–

Brake
as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
–

D
o 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.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.
–

Do
not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
A

lways use the highest gear possi-
ble without labouring the engine.
On

versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
–

A
void sudden acceleration.
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 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 an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–

if

it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats adapted to the ve-
hicle that attach to the pre-
installed parts, and regularly check
their mounting. Do not place several
mats on top of each other.
Risk of pedals jamming

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– 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”).
–

U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– 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.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
–

The
use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
–

I

n 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.
–

N

ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–

D

o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–

It

is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–

W

hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Electronic stability program
(E.S.P.) with understeer
control and traction control
(A.S.R.)
Electronic stability program (E.S.P.)
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
ù flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of
the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced
understeering (loss of front axle road
holding).
Traction control (A.S.R.)
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle 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. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “Check ESP” and the
indicator light
© appears on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the E.S.P.
and A.S.R. are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Traction control (A.S.R.) offers addi-
tional safety; it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing switch

1
again.
Note: the function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
24 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
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 operat-
ing fault the message “Check brak-
ing system” appears on the instrument
panel along with the
© warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
b

raking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Special cases
When using the cruise control:
–

if

you use the accelerator, when you
release it, the system may be trig-
gered;
–

if you

do not use the accelerator, the
system will not be triggered.
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)
Disabling the A.S.R. function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch
1.
The message “Traction control off” is
displayed on the instrument panel to
inform you.

Driving
When a limited speed has been stored
and this speed is not reached, driving is
similar to driving a vehicle without the
speed limiter function.
Once you have reached the stored
speed, no effort on the accelera-
tor pedal will allow you to exceed
the programmed speed except in an
emergency (refer to information on
“Exceeding the limit speed”).
Varying the limit speed
The limit speed may be changed by re-
peatedly pressing:
–

switch
2 (+) to increase the speed;
–

switch
3 (-) to decrease the speed.
Exceeding the limit speed
It is possible to exceed the limit speed
at any moment. To do this: press the
accelerator pedal firmly and fully
(beyond the kickdown point).
While the speed is being exceeded, the
limit speed flashes on the instrument
panel and area

C
lights up red.
Then, as far as is possible, release
the accelerator pedal: the speed lim-
iter function will return as soon as you
reach a speed lower than the stored
speed.
Limited speed cannot be maintained
If driving up or down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
limit speed: the stored speed on the
instrument panel will flash and zone


C
will light up in red to inform you of this
situation.
The speed limiter function is
in no way linked to the brak-
ing system.
