As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film,   music,   video   game...),   you   will   contribute   towards   limiting   the  
c

onsumption   of   electrical   energy,   and   so   of   fuel.
Disconnect
  your   portable   devices   before   leaving   the   vehicle.
Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and drive   by   changing   up   quite   soon.
With
  an   automatic   or   electronic   gearbox,   stay   in   Drive   "D" or Auto "A" ,
according
  to   the   type   of   gearbox,   without   pressing   the   accelerator   pedal  
hea

vily
 o
r
 s
uddenly.
The
  gear   shift   indicator   invites   you   to   select   the   most   suitable   gear:  
o

nce   the   indication   is   displayed   in   the   instrument   panel,   follow   the  
a

dvice   straight   away.
For
  vehicles   fitted   with   an   electronic   or   automatic   gearbox,   this   indicator  
o

nly   appears   in   manual   mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than   the   brake   pedal,   and   press   the   accelerator   progressively.   These  
p

ractices   contribute   towards   a   reduction   in   fuel   consumption   and   CO
2
emissions
 
and
 
also
 
helps
 
reduce
 
the
 
background
 
traffic
 
noise.
If
 
your
 
vehicle
 
has
 
cruise
 
control,
 
make
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
system
 
at
 
speeds
 
a

bove
 
25
 
mph
 
(40
 
km/h)
 
when
 
the
 
traffic
 
is
 
flowing
 
well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, v entilate   it   by   opening   the   windows   and   air   vents   before   using   the   air  
c

onditioning.
Above
  30   mph   (50   km/h),   close   the   windows   and   leave   the   air   vents  
ope

n.
Remember
  to   make   use   of   equipment   that   can   help   keep   the  
t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment   down   (window   blinds...).
Switch
  off   the   air   conditioning   as   soon   as   the   desired   temperature   is  
a

ttained.
Switch
  off   the   demisting   and   defrosting   controls,   if   not   automatic.
Switch
  off   the   heated   seat   as   soon   as   possible.
Switch
  off   the   headlamps   and   foglamp   when   the   level   of   light   does   not  
r

equire   their   use.
Avoid
  running   the   engine   before   moving   off,   particularly   in   winter;   your  
v

ehicle   will   warm   up   much   faster   while   driving.
