Driving safely

Stop & Start

Going into engine STOP mode

121

The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby; with an

electronic gear control gearbox and speeds
below 4 mph (6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N.

Going into engine START mode

Deactivation / Reactivation

You can deactivate the system at any time by
pressing the "ECO OFF" button; the button's
warning lamp comes on.

122

The system is automatically reactivated
every time the engine is started with
the key.

Before refuelling or doing anything
under the bonnet, you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

The "ECO" warning lamp goes off
and the engine restarts with an
electronic gear control gearbox:

- with

the

gear lever in position A or M

release the brake pedal,

- or

with the gear lever in position N and

brake pedal released, move the gear lever
to position A or M ,

or engage reverse.

In certain circumstances, the STOP mode
may not be available; the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.

In certain circumstances, START mode may be
invoked automatically; the "ECO" warning lamp
flashes for a few seconds, then goes off.

selected.

Display in the instrument panel

Cruise control

Speed limiter

The values must be set with the engine running.

In order to be programmed or activated, the
vehicle speed must be higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h), with at least 4th gear engaged on
a manual gearbox (2nd gear on an electronic
gear control or automatic gearbox).

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear efficiency indicator
invites you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A" , according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO

emissions and also helps reduce the

background traffic noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.

Control the use of your electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before using
the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can
help keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic digital regulation, as soon as the
desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm
up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music, video
game...), you will contribute towards limiting
the consumption of electrical energy, and so
of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO

emissions.

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations

on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
-

at each change of season,

after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after the 3

cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

Indicator and warning

lamps

Visual indicators informing the driver that a
system is in operation, switched off or has a
fault.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain warning lamps come on for a few
seconds in the instrument panel and/or
instrument panel screen when the vehicle's
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off, refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.

Associated warnings

The switching on of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
The warning lamps may come on continuously
(fixed) or flash.

Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes. Only by relating the
type of lighting to the operating status
of the vehicle can it be ascertained
whether the situation is normal or
whether a fault has occurred.

With the vehicle stationary, use the left hand

thumb wheel to move through the menus, so
