Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life : during production, use and at the end of its life.

Manufacture

Your vehicle has been manufactured at a factory which complies with a policy to reduce the environmental impact on the surrounding areas (reduction of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions and waste water ; sorting and reusing waste).

Fuel consumption is accredited in accordance with a standard regulatory method. Identical for all manufacturers, this enables vehicles to be compared with one another. Consumption in real time depends on vehicle usage conditions, the equipment fitted and the user’s driving style. To optimise fuel consumption, please refer to the following advice.

Depending on the vehicle, you will have various functions which enable you to lower your fuel consumption :

The following operating conditions should be avoided :

• driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit ;
• using leaded petrol ;
• using lubricant or fuel additives which are not approved.

Or operating faults such as :

Vehicle stopped (e.g. at a red light, an intersection, a traffic jam, etc.), the function ensures braking force even when the driver releases the brake pedal.

The braking force is released as soon as the driver accelerates sufficiently with a gear engaged.

Activation

Press the switch 3.

The 3 warning light switch illuminates to confirm that the function is activated.

Assisted operation

Applying the electronic parking brake

With the vehicle stationary, the electronic parking brake can be used to immobilise the vehicle :

• by pressing the engine start/stop button ;

or

• when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened ;

or

Electronic selector lever (e-shifter) 1

R : reverse gear

N : neutral

Selector lever 1

P : park

R : reverse

This system enables a reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started. During driving, the system stops the engine (standby) when the vehicle comes to a stop or is moving at a slow speed (traffic jam, traffic lights, etc), depending on the vehicle.

Conditions for engine standby

The vehicle has set off from where it was parked ;
