Gear lever
Use the automatic mode A as much
as possible as this optimises gear
changes to suit the requirements.
The fuel consumption of a vehicle varies greatly :
- according to the driver's style of driving (moderate, aggressive, fast, ...),
- according to the type of journeys made (urban, main road, motorway, fl ow-
ing, heavy traffi c, …) and the speed.
Hybrid mode selector
To optimise fuel consumption, use the
Auto mode of the selector whenever
possible (the mode is activated auto-
matically when starting) including for
urban journeys.
This mode optimises the use of the en-
ergy sources (internal combustion en-
gine and/or electric) contrary to other
modes, which are for use in particular
cases.
Stay in the "eco" zone indicated in the
power meter: accelerate gently, drive at
steady speeds using the speed limiter
or cruise control as soon as possible.
Causes of high consumption and
checks
As with any vehicle, limit overloading,
wind resistance (windows open above
30 mph (50 km/h), roof rack, loaded or
not, …), the use of power consumers
(air conditioning, heated seats, heated
rear screen, …).
Observe the recommendations on
checks (regular check of tyre pres-
sures, correct tyre pressures, …) and
routine servicing.
Consumption history
See the impact of your style of driving
and the type of journey by reviewing
the history of your energy consumption.
Refer to the "Multifunction screens"
section.
Use the "charge" zone: anticipate the
need to slow down by taking your foot
off the accelerator rather than braking.
The movement of the power meter nee-
dle (into the "charge" zone), indicates
the level of energy recovery.
Drive smoothly
