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
d
oes not require their use.
Avoid
running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your
v
ehicle will warm up much faster while driving.
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 and change up without waiting. During acceleration change up early.
With
an automatic or electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic
m
ode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
The
gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as
s
oon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it
s
traight away.
For
vehicles fitted with an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
i
ndicator appears only 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.
control the use of your electrical
equipment
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.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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very
h
igh, first ventilate the passenger
c
ompartment for a few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high
e
nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
any
danger to the ozone layer.
In
order
for
these
systems
to
be
fully
effective,

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- i f you press the accelerator and
brake
pedals at the same time,
-
i
f you force the movement of the
g
ear lever from the P position to
another position when the battery
is
flat.
To
reduce fuel consumption when at
a
prolonged standstill with the engine
r
unning (traffic jam...), put the gear lever in
t
he N
position and apply the parking brake.

and
is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a
substantial knock when changing from P
to R
and
from N to R .
This will not cause any
d
amage
to
the gearbox.
