Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During  acceleration  change  up  early.
With
 an  ETG  electronic  gearbox,  give  preference  to  automatic  (Easy) Â
m
ode  and  avoid  pressing  the  accelerator  pedal  heavily  or  suddenly.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by  opening  the  windows  and  air  vents  before  using  the  air  conditioning.
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  (sunroof  and  window
 b
linds...).
Switch
 off  the  air  conditioning,  unless  it  has  automatic  regulation,  as
 s
oon  as  the  desired  temperature  is  attained.
Switch
 off  the  demisting  and  defrosting  controls,  if  not  automatic.
Switch
 off  the  heated  seat  as  soon  as  possible.
Switch
 off  the  headlamps  and  front  foglamps  when  the  level  of  light Â
d
oes  not  require  their  use.
Avoid
 running  the  engine  before  moving  off,  particularly  in  winter;  your Â
v
ehicle  will  warm  up  much  faster  while  driving.
As
 a  passenger,  if  you  avoid  connecting  your  multimedia  devices Â
(
film,  music,  video  game...),  you  will  contribute  towards  limiting  the Â
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.
The
Â
gear
Â
shift
Â
indicator
Â
invites
Â
you
Â
to
Â
engage
Â
the
Â
most
Â
suitable
Â
gear:
Â
a
s
Â
soon
Â
as
Â
the
Â
indication
Â
is
Â
displayed
Â
in
Â
the
Â
instrument
Â
panel,
Â
follow
Â
it
Â
s
traight
Â
away.
For
Â
vehicles
Â
fitted
Â
with
Â
an
Â
ETG
Â
electronic
Â
gearbox,
Â
this
Â
indicator
Â
a
ppears
Â
only
Â
in
Â
manual
Â
mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather t han  the  brake  pedal,  and  press  the  accelerator  progressively.  These Â
p
ractices  contribute  towards  a  reduction  in  fuel  consumption  and  CO
2
emissions
Â
and
Â
also
Â
helps
Â
reduce
Â
the
Â
background
Â
traffic
Â
noise.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom  of  the  boot,  as  close  as  possible  to  the  rear  seats.
Limit
 the  loads  carried  in  the  vehicle  and  reduce  wind  resistance Â
(roof
 bars,  roof  rack...).  Use  a  roof  box  in  preference.
Remove
 roof  bars  and  roof  racks  after  use.
At
 the  end  of  winter,  remove  snow  tyres  and  refit  your  summer  tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the  door  aperture,  driver's  side.
Carry
 out  this  check  in  particular:
-
Â
b
efore  a  long  journey,
-
Â
a
t  each  change  of  season,
-
Â
a
fter  a  long  period  out  of  use.
Don't
 forget  the  spare  wheel  and  the  tyres  on  any  trailer  or  caravan.
Have
 your  vehicle  serviced  regularly  (engine  oil,  oil  filter,  air  filter, Â
p
assenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the  schedule  of Â
o
perations  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
When
 refuelling,  do  not  continue  after  the  third  cut-off  of  the  nozzle  to Â
a
void  any  over flow.
At
 the  wheel  of  your  new  vehicle,  it  is  only  after  the  first  1  800  miles Â
(
3 000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel  consumption  settle  down  to Â
a
 consistent  average.
