ECO-DRIVING
   
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 gearbox, 
stay in Drive  "D" 
 or Auto  "A" 
, according to 
the type of gearbox, without pressing the 
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.  
 
 
 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 electricalequipment 
 
 
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 (film, 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.  
    Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions.
