ECO mode
ECO mode is a function which opti-
mises fuel consumption. This acts on
all power consuming elements (engine
power, switching gears for vehicles
fitted with an automatic gearbox, heat-
ing and/or air conditioning, etc.).
Limiting acceleration enables low fuel
consumption in urban and surrounding
areas. Reduced usage of the air condi-
tioning reduces fuel consumption with-
out affecting heating comfort.

The function can be activated:
– by pressing switch
4 .
– using the central control 5 (please
refer to the information on “Multi-
Sense” in Section 3);
– from the navigation menu on the
multimedia screen (please refer to
the multimedia instructions).
The warning light comes on on
the instrument panel to confirm activa-
tion.
Disabling the function
Press switch 4 .
The warning light goes out on
the instrument panel to confirm deac-
tivation.
While driving, it is possible to leave the
ECO mode temporarily in order to im-
prove engine performance.
