PARKING ASSISTANCE

LANE DEPARTURE

WARNING SYSTEM

You can activate/deactivate the

parking assistance by pressing

button A. When the parking assist-

ance is inactive, the warning lamp

on button A is lit up.

The Head-up display projects

essential driving data into the

driver's ﬁeld of vision. This enables

the driver never to take his eyes

off the road

This driving assistance device

warns you when you unwittingly

cross a lane marking (either a con-

tinuous or a dotted line on the road

surface). It is designed for use on

motorways and dual carriageways,

operating only above speeds of

approx. 80 km/h (50 mph)

A press on button B activates the

function, the warning lamp on the

button lights up.

The controls for the Head-up dis-

play are located beneath the air

vent on the driver's side.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO₂

emissions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

Control the use of your

electrical equipment

With a manual gearbox, move off

gently, change up without waiting

and drive by changing up quite

soon. If your vehicle has the sys-

tem, the gear shift indicator invites

you to change up; it is displayed

in the instrument panel, follow its

instructions.

Before moving off, if the passenger

compartment is too warm, ventilate it

by opening the windows and air vents

before using the air conditioning.

Avoid running the engine before

moving off, particularly in winter;

your vehicle will warm up much

faster while driving.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the

windows and leave the air vents open.

As a passenger, if you avoid con-

necting your multimedia devices

(ﬁlm, music, video game...), you

will contribute towards limiting the

consumption of electrical energy,

and so of fuel.

Remember to make use of equipment

that can help keep the temperature in

the passenger compartment down

(sun roof and window blinds...).

With an automatic or electronic

gearbox, stay in Drive "D" or

Auto "A", according to the type

of gear selector, without pressing

the accelerator pedal heavily or

suddenly.

Disconnect your portable devices

before leaving the vehicle.

Switch off the air conditioning,

unless it has automatic digital

regulation, as soon as the desired

temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrost-

ing controls, if not automatic.

Drive smoothly

Switch off the heated seat as soon

as possible.

Maintain a safe distance between

vehicles, use engine braking

rather than the brake pedal, and

press the accelerator progres-

sively. These attitudes contribute

towards a reduction in fuel con-

sumption and CO emissions and

also helps reduce²the background

trafﬁc noise.

Switch off the headlamps and front

foglamps when the level of light

does not require their use.

When the trafﬁc is ﬂowing well,

and if you have cruise control,

make use of the system at speeds

above 25 mph (40 km/h).

21

Limit the causes of excess

consumption

Observe the recommendations

on maintenance

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 resist-

ance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle

carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box

in preference. Remove roof bars

and roof racks after use.

When refuelling, do not continue

after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle

to avoid any overﬂow.

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.

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.

At the end of winter, remove

snow tyres and reﬁt your summer

tyres.

Have your vehicle serviced regu-

larly (engine oil, oil ﬁlter, air ﬁlter...)

and observe the schedule of oper-

ations recommended by the manu-

facturer.
