In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be higher than
25 mph (40 km/h), with at least fourth gear
engaged on the manual gearbox (second
gear for the automatic gearbox). The values must be set with the engine
running.

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 gen-
tly, change up without waiting and
drive by changing up quite soon. If
your vehicle has the system, the gear
shift indicator invites you to change up;
it is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, 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 vehi-
cles, use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These attitudes contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption
and CO
2 emissions and also helps re-
duce 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 be-
fore using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the win-
dows 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 at-
tained.
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 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 connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music, vid-
eo game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical en-
ergy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the 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 in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 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 on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.
