Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting. During  acceleration  change  up  early.
The
 gear  efficiency  indicator  invites  you  engage  the  most  suitable  gear: Â
a
s  soon  as  the  indication  is  displayed  in  the  instrument  panel,  follow  it Â
s
traight  away.
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...).
To
 save  energy,  do  not  set  the  air  conditioning  at  too  low  a  temperature.
As
 soon  as  the  desired  temperature  has  been  reached,  limit  the  use  of
 t
he  air  conditioning,  except  if  regulation  is  automatic.
Switch
 off  the  demisting  and  defrosting  controls  as  soon  as  you  consider
 p
ossible.
Switch
 off  the  heated  seat  as  soon  as  possible.
Switch
 off  the  headlamps  and  foglamp  when  the  level  of  light  does  not Â
r
equire  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.
With
Â
an
Â
electronic
Â
gearbox,
Â
do
Â
not
Â
press
Â
the
Â
accelerator
Â
pedal
Â
heavily
Â
o
r
 s
uddenly.
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
help
Â
reduce
Â
the
Â
background
Â
traffic
Â
noise.
If
Â
your
Â
vehicle
Â
has
Â
cruise
Â
control,
Â
make
Â
use
Â
of
Â
the
Â
system
Â
at
Â
speeds
Â
a
bove
Â
25
Â
mph
Â
(40
Â
km/h)
Â
when
Â
the
Â
traffic
Â
is
Â
flowing
Â
well.
