The cruise control or speed limiter

mode appears in the instrument panel

when it is selected.

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 fourth

gear engaged on a manual gearbox

(second gear for an electronic gearbox

or automatic gearbox).

Speed limiter

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

emissions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-

tly and change up without waiting.

During acceleration change up early.

With an automatic or electronic gear-

box, give preference to automatic mode

and avoid pressing the accelerator

pedal heavily or suddenly.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between ve-

hicles, use engine braking rather than

the brake pedal, and press the accel-

erator progressively. These practices

contribute towards a reduction in fuel

consumption and CO

emissions and

also helps reduce the background traf-

fi 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.

E C O - D R I V I N G

The gear shift indicator invites you to

change up: as soon as the indication

to change up is displayed in the instru-

ment panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gear-

box, this indicator appears only in

manual mode.

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 to-

wards limiting the consumption of elec-

trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-

fore 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 rec-

ommended 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 set-

tle down to a consistent average.
