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.

control of the various front and rear
lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driv-
er's visibility progressively in relation to
the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the
requirements of particular driving condi-
tions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,
- front foglamps for even better for-
ward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen
during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending on
options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- directional lighting.
