Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance 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 condi-
tions, the equipment fitted and the
user's driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the fol-
lowing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you have
different functions to help you reduce
your fuel consumption.
On the instrument panel:
– the rev counter;
– the gear change indicator;
– the driving style indicator;
– ECO mode;
– the Stop and Start 🡺147function;
– the power meter;
– the navigation system.
On the multimedia screen (for more in-
formation, see the multimedia system
user manual):
– data relating to your energy con-
sumption;
– an energy consumption graph;
– scores based on your driving style;
– ECO driving advice;
– the journey record and eco-driving
advice via the multimedia screen;
– an ECO driving mode.
Gear change indicator

Depending on the vehicle, to obtain
optimum consumption levels, a warn-
ing light on the instrument panel lets
you know the best time to move up or
down a gear:
shift up a gear;
downshift a gear.
If you regularly monitor this indicator
you will be able to reduce your
vehicle's fuel consumption.
