Cruise control

This maintains a constant vehicle speed

programmed by the driver.
1. "ON/OFF" button: activation/

deactivation of cruise control mode.

2. "COAST SET" button: storing a

driving speed then decreasing the

cruising speed.

3. "ACC RES" button: increasing the

cruising speed and recalling the

stored speed.

4. "CANCEL" button: switching off the

cruise control.

In order to be programmed or activated,

the vehicle speed must be higher than

25 mph (40 km/h) with at least second

gear engaged.

This detects obstacles (person, vehicle,

tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle.
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
D. two side sensors.
E. two central sensors.

Audible rear parking sensors

DRIVING SAFELY

Four wheel drive system

Three transmission modes are avail-

able and can be selected manually by

the driver to suit the circumstances:
A. Two wheel drive (2WD),
B. Four wheel drive (4WD AUTO),
C. Four wheel drive (4WD LOCK).

You can change transmission mode

when stationary or when driving at a

speed below 60 mph (100 km/h).

ECO-DRIVING

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

2

emis-

sions.

Optimise the use of your

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-

tly, change up without waiting and

drive by changing up quite soon. If

your vehicle has the system, the gear

shift indicator invites you to change up;

it is displayed in the instrument panel,

follow its instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,

stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A", according

to the type of gearbox, without pressing

the accelerator pedal heavily or sud-

denly.

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

2

emissions and

also helps reduce the background traf-

2

2

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

(sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless

it has automatic digital regulation, as

soon as the desired temperature is at-

tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-

ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as

possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front

foglamps when the level of light does

not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before mov-

ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-

hicle will warm up much faster while

driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-

ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-

sic, video game...), you will contribute

towards limiting the consumption of

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

fore leaving the vehicle.

20

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 3 rd 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.
