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 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 
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 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, 
video game...), you will contribute 
towards limiting the consumption of 
electrical energy, and so of fuel. 
  Disconnect your portable devices 
before leaving the vehicle.

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  require-
ments of particular driving conditions: 
   
 
-   a rear foglamp to be seen from a 
distance, 
   
-   front foglamps for even better 
forward vision, 
   
-   directional headlamps for improved 
visibility when cornering, 
   
-   daytime running lamps to be seen 
during the day.
