Eco-driving 
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions. 
Optimise the use of your 
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto  "A" 
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal,and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuelconsumption and CO2 emissions and also helpsreduce the background traffic noise. 
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 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, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using 
the air conditioning. 
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.  
Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and windowblinds...). 
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained.  Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic.  Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.
 
 Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.  
 
 Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.  
 
 As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.  
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

Familiarisation
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe 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 (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.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 aper ture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in par ticular:-  before a long journey,-   at each change of season,-  after a long period out of use.  Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan. 
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by themanufacturer.
 
 
When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd 
 cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
 
 At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.
