ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emis-sions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gen-tly, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A", according to the type of gearbox, without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or sud-denly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between ve-hicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accel-erator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traf-22
fi c noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate itby opening the windows and air ventsbefore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close thewindows and leave the air ventsopen.

Remember to make use of equipmentthat can help keep the temperaturein the passenger compartment down(sun roof and window blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unlessit has automatic digital regulation, assoon as the desired temperature is at-tained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-ing controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon aspossible.


Switch off the headlamps and frontfoglamps when the level of light doesnot require their use.

Avoid running the engine before mov-ing off, particularly in winter; your ve-hicle will warm up much faster whiledriving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connect-ing your multimedia devices (fi lm, mu-sic, video game...), you will contributetowards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-fore leaving the vehicle.

20

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;place the heaviest items in the bottomof the boot, as close as possible to therear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicleand reduce wind resistance (roof bars,roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Usea roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snowtyres and refi t your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,when cold, referring to the label in thedoor aperture, driver's side.

Carry out this check in particular:



- before a long journey,


- at each change of season,


- after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and thetyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle serviced regularly(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-serve the schedule of operations rec-ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoidany overfl ow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is onlyafter the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)that you will see the fuel consumption set-tle down to a consistent average.
