Under-inflation detection
This system monitors the pressures in the tyres
and alerts you in the event of an under-inflated
tyre. At low speed, this additional lighting increases
the driver's field of vision in corners,
junctions, when parking... by switching on the
corresponding front foglamp.
This system puts the engine temporarily into
standby during stops in the traffic (traffic
lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts
automatically as soon as you want to move
off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions, as well as
noise levels when stationary.
The number plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps come on automatically
without any action by the driver when a low
level of ambient light is detected.

Temporary puncture
repair kit
This kit is a complete system, consisting of a
compressor and a sealant cartridge, for the
temporary repair of a tyre.
This system is activated automatically on
engaging reverse and provides an image in the
the touch screen tablet.
This system provides active assistance when
parallel parking, both entering and exiting a
space. It detects a parking space, operates
the vehicle's steering and provides visual and
audible signals to the driver.
These protect the body by reducing the effect
of minor impacts experienced in everyday use
(parking knocks, opening a door, scrapes, ...).
Parking sensors
This system detects and warns you of the
presence obstacles in front of and behind the
vehicle when manoeuvring the vehicle.

Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.
The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
straight away.
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...).
To save energy, do not set the air conditioning at too low a temperature.
As soon as the desired temperature has been reached, limit the use of
the air conditioning, except if regulation is automatic.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls as soon as you consider
possible.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
Switch off the headlamps and foglamp 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 CO2emissions.
With an electronic gearbox, do not press 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 CO2
emissions and also help 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.

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,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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.
