Cornering lighting
At low speed, this lighting automatically provides additional visibility
when cornering, at junctions, when
parking... making use of the corresponding front foglamp.

This system continuously monitors the
pressures in the tyres and alerts you in
the event of under-infl ation.

ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic mode
and avoid pressing the accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to
change up: as soon as the indication
to change up is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only in
manual mode.
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 CO2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing 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 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.
emissions.

26
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 (fi lm, 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.
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 refi t 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 fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.
