Eco-driving
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO2emissions.
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 gearbox, give preference
to automatic mode and avoid pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear efficiency indicator invites you to
engage the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an 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
CO2emissions 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.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
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.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

8
Eco-driving
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, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
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
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
observe the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a member
of the dealer network or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxide
emissions compliant to the standard.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the nozzle, to avoid overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.
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.

A. The speed of your vehicle.
B. Cruise control/speed limiter information.
C. Navigation information (depending on

For more information on DS Connect Nav,
and, in particular, on navigation, refer to
the corresponding section.
Activation/Deactivation
Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:
FWith the engine running, press button 1.
The activated/deactivated status when the
engine was switched off is retained when
the engine is switched on again.
The blade retracts automatically 3 seconds
after switching off the engine except in STOP
mode of Stop & Start.
Height adjustment
FWith the engine running, adjust the display
to the required height using button 2:
- towards the rear to move the display up,
- towards the front to move the display
down.
Brightness adjustment
FWith the engine running, adjust the brightness
of the information display using button 3:
- towards the rear to increase the brightness,
- towards the front to decrease the
brightness.
We recommend that adjustments are made using
these buttons only when the vehicle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no objects
should be placed around the blade (or in its
recess) so as to not impede deployment of the
blade and its correct operation.
In certain extreme weather conditions
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.)
the head-up display may not be legible or
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of
the information.
To clean the blade, use a clean, soft cloth
(such as a spectacles cloth or microfibre
cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth
or detergent or solvent products as these
could scratch the blade or damage the
non-reflective coating.

Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual indicators informing the driver that
a system is in operation or switched off (on/off
indicator lamps) or has a fault (warning lamp).
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 warning
lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before driving refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.
Associated warnings
The illumination of certain warning lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel screen.
The lighting of the warning lamps may be fixed
or flashing.
Certain warning lamps may come on in
one of two modes: fixed or flashing.
Only by relating the type of lighting to the
operating state of the vehicle can it be
determined whether the situation is normal
or whether a fault has occurred.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps, refer to the
corresponding sections.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a warning lamp must be investigated further
using the associated message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
Operation indicator lamps
The lighting of one of the following indicator
lamps confirms that the corresponding system
is on.
Deactivation indicator lamps
If one of the following indicator lamps comes
on, this confirms that the corresponding system
has been switched off intentionally.
This may be accompanied by an audible signal
and a message being displayed.
