Depending on the vehicle, you have different functions to help you reduce your fuel consumption.

Gear change indicator

The light 1 on the instrument panel will indicate the best moment to change up or down a gear:

Š move up a gear;

‰ move down a gear.

Driving style indicator

Informs you about the driving style adopted in real time. You will be notified by indicator 2.

ECO mode

The ECO mode optimises the rate of fuel consumption. It has influence upon everything requiring fuel (engine power, heating and/or air conditioning, etc.).

Activation/deactivation

You can activate or deactivate ECO mode:

- by pressing switch 3;

- using the multifunction screen (please see the instructions in Section 2).

The light ECO appears on the instrument panel to indicate that the function is activated.

While driving, you can temporarily deactivate the function to regain full engine performance. To do so, depress the accelerator pedal firmly and fully. The function is reactivated once you release the accelerator pedal.

Journey record

Once the engine is switched off, you will see “Journey record” on the multimedia display, enabling you to view information relating to your last journey. This indicates:

- average fuel consumption;

- number of miles/kilometres travelled;

- number of miles/kilometres saved.

An overall grade on your eco-driving performance is displayed.
