The values must be set with the engine running. In order to be programmed or activated, the
vehicle speed must be higher than 25 mph (40 km/h), with at least 4th gear engaged on a manual gearbox (2nd gear on an electronicgear control or automatic gearbox).

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 efficiency indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,use engine braking rather than thebrake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contributetowards a reduction in fuel consumption andCO2emissions and also helps reduce thebackground 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 byopening 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 canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and windowblinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as thedesired temperature is attained. Switch off the demisting and defrostingcontrols, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.


Switch off the headlamps and front foglampswhen the level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, videogame...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.
