ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode is a function designed to
give the driver the opportunity to drive more eco-
nomically and to help reduce fuel consumption.
When this mode is activated, the following cha-
racteristics are modified:
•
The automatic transmission's shifting points
•
The engine management system and accel-
erator pedal response
•
Climate system settings: certain functions
will be temporarily reduced or deactivated
•
The suspension's self-leveling function
*
low-
ers ground clearance to help reduce wind
resistance
•
Information is shown in an ECO gauge in the
instrument panel to help promote more eco-
nomical driving
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system
parameters are changed and the function of
certain current-consuming systems will be
reduced.
Some of these functions can be restarted
manually but full functionality will not be
restored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO mode
When the engine is switched off, ECO mode is
deactivated and must be reactivated each time
the engine is started.
ECO

instrument panel when the function is activated.

economical driving.

sumption.
The ECO gauge also has an indicator showing
how a "reference" driver would drive in the same
situation. This is indicated by a diamond in the
gauge.
