values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel con-
sumption and average speed will
become more stable and reliable the
further you have travelled since the last
time the Reset button was pressed.
The average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.
Automatic resetting of the

FUNCTION STOP AND START (1/4)
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic
parking brake (depending
on the vehicle) is not ap-
plied automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.If the engine stalls while the system is in operation, pressing the clut\
ch pedal right
down will start it again.
Engine on standby - power-
assisted steering is no
longer operational.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
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 approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
For all vehicles:
The warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby. The vehicle equipment re-
mains operational while the engine is
stopped.
Depending on the vehicle, when the
engine switches to standby, the steer-
ing assistance may no longer be opera-
tional.
In this case it becomes operational
again when the engine is no longer on
standby or the speed exceeds approxi-
mately 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (downhill,
slope etc.).
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automati-
cally 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 gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
– and the brake pedal is pressed (suf-
ficiently hard);
– and the accelerator pedal is not pressed;
– and the speed is zero for around 1 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.
Before leaving the vehicle,
the engine must be stopped
and not put on standby
(please see the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine”).

“HYBRID ASSIST" SYSTEM: introduction (4/5)
Indicator of power
consumption/recovery
The indicator 6 allows you to find the
current consumption or recovery of
electrical energy of the 48 volt traction
battery. “Energy recovery” zone A
When driving, if you lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal or apply the brake,
the electric motor generates electrical
current during deceleration, and this
energy is used to slow down the vehicle
and recharge the 48 V traction battery.
“Neutral” zone 0
The 48 volt traction battery does not re-
cover and does not consume any elec-
trical energy.
The display of this information de-
pends on the vehicle.
“Assistance” zone B
The 48 volt traction battery supplies the
electrical energy required for the motor
to reduce fuel consumption.
“Full power” zone
C
While driving, the full power of the
motor is triggered when you go past the
resistance point as you depress the ac-
celerator.
This zone indicates significant con-
sumption of electrical energy. The
wheel 7 is displayed on the instrument
panel to inform you that maximum
power is being supplied to the motor to
increase the engine torque.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO DRIVING (1/6)
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 with ECO zone;
– gear change indicator;
– the driving style indicator;
– the journey record and eco-driving advice via the multimedia screen;
– ECO mode.
If fitted on the vehicle, the navigation
system provides additional information.
On the instrument panel A
or B
Depending on the vehicle, the informa-
tion display can be organised and cus-
tomised based on the instrument panel
customisation style selected from the
multimedia screen.
The rev counter with ECO zone 1
Driving in the ECO zone helps you op-
timise fuel consumption under most cir-
cumstances.

Gear change indicator 2
To 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 or ä move up a gear;
‰ or æ move down a gear.
If you regularly follow this indicator, you
will reduce your vehicle’s fuel consump-
tion.

On the multifunction screen
Journey record
Once the engine is switched off, you
will see “Journey record” displayed on
the screen 5, 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. This corresponds to driving without
fuel consumption (deceleration and/
or foot off the accelerator pedal).
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 compare your performance
between trips and the performance of
other vehicle users.
For more information, please see the
multimedia system instructions.
Driving style indicator 3
Informs you about the driving style
adopted in real time. This is shown by
indicator light 4.
The more petals there are on indica-
tor 4, the smoother and more economi-
cal your driving.
If you regularly monitor this indicator,
you will reduce your vehicle’s fuel con-
sumption.
To activate/deactivate the driving style
indicator, please see the multimedia
system instructions.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/6)
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.).
Limiting acceleration enables low fuel
consumption in urban and surrounding
areas. Reduced usage of the air condi-
tioning reduces fuel consumption with-
out affecting heating comfort.
Activating the function
The function can be activated:
– by pressing switch 5.
– by pressing the switch 6 (please refer
to the information on “Multi-Sense” in
Section 3);
– from the navigation menu on the multimedia screen (please refer to
the multimedia instructions).
The warning light
 comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion. Disabling the function
Press switch 5.
The warning light
 goes out on
the instrument panel to confirm deac-
tivation.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
For this, depress the accelerator pedal
firmly and fully.
ECO mode is reactivated when you
take pressure off the accelerator pedal.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (6/6)
Advice on use
– Favour the 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 (espe-
cially in urban conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Recommendations for reducing
consumption and therefore help-
ing 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.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– Opt for the highest speed pressure or the pressure recommended to op-
timise fuel consumption indicated
on edge of the driver’s door (please
refer to the information on “Tyre infla-
tion pressure” in Section 4).
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.
