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. If your vehicle has the sys-
tem, 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 gear selector, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking
rather than the brake pedal, and
press the accelerator progres-
sively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel con-
sumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background
traffi c noise.
When the traffi c is fl owing well,
and if you have cruise control,
make use of the system at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
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 open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is
attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrost-
ing 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
does not require their use.Avoid running the engine before
moving off, particularly in winter;
your vehicle will warm up much
faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid con-
necting your multimedia devices
(fi lm, music, video game...), you
will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy,
and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices
before leaving the vehicle.
