DRIVING STYLE
Top speed
Energy or fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain a
constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of electrical energy or fuel
consumption and emissions.
Drive smoothly
Accelerating violently will greatly affect
electrical energy or fuel consumption
and emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual.
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal and press the accelerator
gradually. These practices help to save
on energy consumption, reduce CO2
emissions and decrease general traffic
noise.
When the traffic is flowing smoothly,
use the Cruise Control/Adaptive Cruise
Control.
Optimise your use of the gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off
gently and change up promptly. While
accelerating, change up early.
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
heavily or suddenly.
For electric versions
Favour the ECO zone of the operating
mode indicator in the instrument panel
display by driving smoothly and at a
steady speed.
184
Anticipate slowing down as much
as possible and, if possible, favour
decelerations with regenerative braking
mode activated (operating mode
indicator in the CHARGE zone).
CONDITIONS OF USE
Traffic and road conditions
Heavy traffic with fast acceleration
causes high electrical energy or fuel
consumption. Winding mountain roads
and rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Control the use of 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.
At speeds above 50 km/h (31 mph),
close the windows and leave the air vents
open.
Unless automatically regulated, switch
off the air conditioning as soon as the
desired temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
functions, if they are not managed
automatically.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Adapt your use of the headlamps and/or
foglamps to the level of visibility, in
accordance with current legislation in
the country in which you are driving.
Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter (other than in
severe wintry conditions: temperature
below -23°C). The vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (e.g. film,
music, video game) to help reduce the
consumption of energy. Disconnect
all portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
This system manages the duration of use
of certain functions, in order to conserve
a sufficient level of charge in the
conventional battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematic system, the wipers and
the dipped beam headlamps or courtesy
lamps, for a combined duration of
approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed
when energy economy mode is entered,
and the active functions are placed on
standby.
WARNING If a telephone call is
in progress at the time, it will be
maintained for around 10 minutes via
the audio system's hands-free system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is
used.
