Cruise control

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 mode and avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.

The gear efficiency indicator invites you
to change up: as soon as the indication to
change up is displayed in the instrument
panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gearbox, this
indicator 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
practices contribute towards a reduction in
fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions and also
helps reduce 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 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 (sunroof and window
blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has
automatic regulation, as soon 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.
